Thecus presents affordable rackmountable NAS

Thecus announced the 1U4500 Rackmount Storage Device. With four SATA hard disk bays, an optional redundant power supply, advanced configuration features, and a handy LCD display, the 1U4500 brings Thecus' data storage technology to a 1U rackmount form factor.

The 1U4500 is equipped with an ultra-low voltage 1.5GHz Intel Celeron M processor and 512MB of DDR memory. It features four hot-swappable hard disk trays that accept standard 3.5" SATAII hard disks for up to 3 terabytes of storage. Multiple RAID modes including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD allows administrators to choose the mode that best fits the enterprise's computing environment, and with the 1U4500's Quick RAID feature, the RAID can be built within minutes on first use. The 1U4500 also has RAID migration and RAID expansion capabilities, which allow administrators to change the RAID configuration and add new RAID volumes after the original RAID mode as been set, ensuring that system changes are smooth with limited downtime.

It comes with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports with 802.3ad-based Load Balancing and Failover capabilities enable better throughput and non-stop connectivity. To provide uninterrupted service in the event of a power supply failure, Thecus also offers a version of the 1U4500 with a 250W redundant power supply. The 1U4500 also includes a built-in eSATA port for even more storage expansion options, and support for multiple languages. Administering the 1U4500 is a breeze with its handy LCD display that not only displays critical system status information, but also enables you to make quick changes to IP addresses and link aggregation. With features like these, the 1U4500 offers power, security, and convenience, making it an ideal solution for today's enterprises.
