The leading NAS manufacturer QNAP Systems, Inc. has launched brand new Turbo Server(TS) series network attached storage (NAS) in November 2005. TS series supports newgeneration SATA hard disk and Gigabit broadband network transfer to provide speedy,reliable and convenient data storage solution. The first released model of TS seriesis a 4-bay desktop server TS-401T especially designed for small and mediumbusinesses (SMB). Providing easy usage, high speed, great reliability and 2TBstorage capacity, TS-401T is a superior network storage solution for SMB.
Most SMB such as accounting firms, art design houses, trading companies and dentalclinics often store their valuable data and customer information on hard drives ofemployeesÂ' NB or a PC file server without any regular backup or redundancy. Any kindof data loss will cause a big disaster to the business. Besides, the OS of PC fileserver is enormous in size and highly complicated while the stability is low withoutguaranteed efficiency as the applications are interactively affected. SMB willrequire a cost-effective storage device with large capacity and high reliability fordata centralization and protection.
Dedicated to SMB, TS-401T performs a simple and easy to use storage solution forfile sharing and management. TS-401T provides up to 2TB large capacity for SMB usersto save/access their data through the Internet. By using the friendly web interfacevia IE browser, installation and operation are so easy even for non-ITprofessionals! Users can update system firmware, backup data or configure othermanagement functions anytime anywhere by connecting to the network. The LCD displaypanel of TS-401T is also a particularly convenient tool for users to view andconfigure IP address directly without using a computer.
Furthermore, TS-401T is designed by reliable software and hardware to ensure datasecurity of SMB. TS-401T is embedded with variety powerful features, including 4hot-swappable SATA HDD supporting RAID 1 and RAID 5 with data rebuilding protectionfor data integrity, dual Gigabit ports for fail over / load balancing / standalonenetwork setting, instant/scheduled remote replication, USB CD/DVD burning backup,optional redundant power, Trend Micro anti-virus agent option and other value-addedfunctions. TS-401T satisfies the demand of SMB users as a cost-effective backup anddisaster recovery solution.
Compared to general PC file server, TS-401T provides more reliable, efficient andprofessional storage functions. TS-401T is relatively easier to install and operateand more cost-effective storage solution than the costly high-end storage server.TS-401T is undeniably the superior storage solution for small and medium business.n Easy-to-use / Convenient-to-manage Data Sharing CenterIntellectual web management interfaceMost SMB enterprises may not have their own MIS professionals. TS-401T provides aneasy and simple multi-language web administration interface. With 7 simpleinstallation steps, the server can be configured in 5 minutes. The web interfacealso supports firmware update or data backup functions that can be fully operated byIE browser.Convenient LCD panelOutstanding from other tower NAS models in the market, TS-401T is equipped with LCDpanel and two control buttons which allow users to view serverÂ's IP address andimportant system information and users can configure IP directly without the need toaccess PC.Highly compatible with different platformWith elegant design, TS-401T supports cross-platform OS and multiple network filetransfer protocols.

Therefore, the management of user accounts will be muchmore convenient.Practical user management functionsAdministrator can assign userÂ's access right for accessing the server and establisha secure platform for exchanging confidential data within the company and sendinglarge files to customers or suppliers to increase work efficiency. Data on theserver can be accessed and managed remotely anytime, anywhere by IE browser.
n Reliable Software and Hardware Design for Data Secure ProtectionHigh reliability and performanceTS-401T is embedded with Linux OS specially designed for storage server to enhancesystem stability. Equipped with 4 hot swappable high-speed SATA disks, the serversupports up to 2TB storage capacity, which solves the problem that ordinary PC fileserver may encounter with complicated and inflexible architecture. TS-401Tsimplifies management and increases system expansibility, while RAID 0, 1, 5 & JBODdisk configuration are supported. The performance of TS-401T in RAID 5 configurationsurpasses other models.Automatic data restoration designWhen one disk is damaged, user can replace the disk with a new one without turningoff the server. Ongoing operation will not be interrupted and data will beautomatically rebuilt to the new disk. Disk damage alert can be set to informadministrator by e-mail or by suspending file access service to ensure disksecurity. With TS-401T, SMB users can be benefited from advanced and reliablestorage technology.Embedded anti-virus mechanism to enable secure data sharingTS-401T has a built-in anti-virus mechanism. Users can purchase activation code toenable anti-virus service for the server without extra installation. Virus patterncan be updated online anytime. All files on the server can be automatically scannedto guarantee secure data protection when sharing files.Steady network and system design to enhance fault toleranceWith 2 Gigabit network ports, TS-401T supports load balance, failover and standalonesettings to increase network transfer efficiency and consistency. TS-401T isequipped with hot swappable (redundant) power supply. Differed from other desktopNAS models in the market, users can purchase an optional extra redundant powersupply to strengthen the reliability of the system. TS-401T provides 2 USB 2.0 portsthat support SNMP and USB UPS to ensure steady system operation. USB printer can beconnected to enable network printer sharing to save setup cost for network printer.
n Diversified Backup Mechanism for Data Disaster RecoveryPowerful client-side data backup softwareData protection is the prime mission of QNAP NAS products. With solid developmenttechnology, users can save and back up data with maximum protection. PC users canuse powerful and handy backup software, NetBak Replicator, which is as competent asother enterprise-level backup software, to back up data on local side to the servereasily. NetBak Replicator allows immediate or scheduled data backup for automaticbackup of essential data to TS-401T. Hence, company data can acquire a much completeprotection.Professio nal remote replication technologyAfter the tragic of 911, importance of remote replication is highly focused. In thepass, advanced storage solutions are affordable mainly by large-scale enterprises.Now, QNAP TS-401T satisfies the demand of SMB users by built-in remote replicationtechnology. Data on TS-401T can be replicated to remote server immediately or byschedule. With block level transfer and incremental replication settings, TS-401Tcan largely increase the efficiency of data transfer and backup.Handy CD/DVD backup/restore functionIn addition to general network backup means, TS-401T also provides USB 2.0 ports fordata backup to and from external CD/DVD which makes data replication more convenientand efficient.
