[NAS] Open-E NAS (ervaringen)

[Furinax]

Voor mijn werkgever ben ik op zoek naar een NAS systeem met minimaal 1 TB aan opslagruimte.
Het liefst zonder Microsoft en alleen een web interface voor de configuratie. Nu kwam ik het volgende systeem tegen:


Deze dongle zet je op een IDE poort en je hebt een besturingsysteem met NFTS / SCSI / RAID ondersteuning.
Het enige minpuntje is dat er geen virusscan voor dit systeem bestaat.

Even wat info:

Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)
A powerful and convenient Web-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) makes remote management a simple task. Using your browser, you can manage Open-E NAS Enterprise server from anywhere on the network.

Secured Administration Access
Administrators can access and configure the NAS server through the web-based, password-protected user interface, using Secured Administration Access (SSL). Open-E NAS Enterprise allows assignment of multiple administrators with different administrator rights.

File System With Journaling Support
Open-E NAS Enterprise's journaling support makes the file system more reliable and the easy recovery from unexpected shutdowns quicker.

Resource and User Access Control
The simple sharing function enables the sharing of disk storage and the setting of network access permissions. Network access permissions can be set to read or read/write, and they can be used to control the access of individual users. Regarding access control and authentication: This is an Open-E NAS Enterprise function that integrates LDAP and ACL access control mechanisms. The credentials and permissions of both local users and domain users are honored.

User Disk Quota Control
Users with large disk requirements can be constrained either by assigning them a dedicated share or by restricting their individual usage through individual user quotas.

Superuser
Open-E NAS allows the creation of a “superuser” account which has the unrestricted access to all the files and volumes, as well as all system commands, needed to manage the Open-E NAS server.

Local Backup with Scheduling
In Open-E NAS Enterprise a local drive can be defined as a Dynamic Disk. A Dynamic Disk contains volumes, on which a copy of LVs on the NAS server can be saved with the Local Backup Scheduling Function. This copy on the Dynamic Disk can be stored separately.

Backup Agent Support
Open-E NAS Enterprise backup agents help administrators to back up NAS servers with backup software from Veritas, Dantz, CA BrightStor ARCserve, and Bakbone Backup.
Using the backup agents, you can administer complete data protection for all date stored on NAS server. This improves data transfer and provides network security, task monitoring, real-time directory browsing, and cross-platform backup support.

Data Synchronization
Open-E NAS can synchronize files and directories from one NAS server to another. The data transfer is block-based in order to minimize network traffic. Synchronization can be used for disaster recovery or Disk-to-Disk Backup purposes.

Network Transport Protocols
Open-E NAS supports TCP/IP (the protocol set used in the Internet) as well as NetBEUI (NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface), an enhanced version of the NetBIOS protocol used by network operating systems.

Network Client Support
- Microsoft Windows
- Linux
- UNIX
- Apple OS 9.0 and OS X

ACL (Access Control List)
An ACL in the Open-E NAS Enterprise software notifies the system which access rights each user has to a particular file directory or individual file. Each user in the network environment can have a right to set up own access rights to share files and folders with other users. Access rights can be set remotely in the network neighborhood.

Windows Active Directory / NT Primary Domain Controller support
Open-E NAS provides native support of Windows Active Directory as well as in the NT Primary Domain Controller compatibility mode. This allows administrators to leverage information about users, systems and other resources stored in Active Directory.

External LDAP Servers
Because Open-E NAS supports external LDAP servers, users can configure and administer multiple Open-E NAS servers from a single point, creating a cost-effective and easy to manage “disk farm.”

Support for Network Information Service (NIS)
NIS is a Unix network naming and administration system that allows users at any host to access files or applications on any host with a single user identification and password. Support for NIS gives Open-E NAS users easier access to information stored on other Open-E NAS servers configured using NIS.

Multi-Snapshot with the scheduling function
The snapshot function enables an immediate point-in-time image of the share volume. The snapshot image is used for consistent backup, while users still have uninterrupted and complete access to the shares. Multi-Snapshot with the scheduling function allows users to take a snapshot at a specified time (e.g., automatically every hour). If a user accidentally deletes or incorrectly modifies a file, he can still recover the data from a previous snapshot image.

Multiple Logical Volume Groups
Logical volume groups allow storage administrators to create logical storage pools that span multiple physical disk drives. With its support of multiple logical volume groups, Open-E NAS Enterprise makes it easier to meet the changing needs of users and applications while making the maximum use of available physical disk space.

Online Logical Volume Expansion
Online logical volume expansion allows administrators to change the size of storage volumes as needed without having to restart the application, recreate the volume, and back up and restore the data to the volume.

UPS Support
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can be attached to Open-E NAS Enterprise through a standard serial port, and it provides safe shutdown in case of power failure.

Network UPS
Open-NAS Enterprise is capable of using the SNMP interface for communication with other SNMP-enabled servers (e.g., Open-E NAS servers) for a smooth server shutdown in case of power failure. The server with UPS sends (or receives in case of slave mode) the power failure signal through the network to (or from) other servers and will shut down all servers in the network.

Standard Gateway Support
Open-E NAS Enterprise can be used in business environments with structured networks, and it allows for remote management and optional data access via Intranet or Internet.

DHCP Server Support
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol allowing network administrators to centrally manage and automate the process of assigning IP addresses in a network.

Multiple Network Interface Card (NIC) Support
Open-E NAS Enterprise supports usage of 2 or more network cards to access separate sub-networks. It allows users to select services to be enabled on a specified NIC.

10 Gb Ethernet with TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE)
To improve the data throughput and latency, the Open-E NAS Enterprise supports 10 Gbit Ethernet cards from Chelsio for servers and storage systems. Chelsio provides the highest 10GbE performance available. With the on-board hardware that offloads TCP/IP processing from its host system, the Chelsio card lets its host gives more CPU cycles to applications. The result: the system gets increased bandwidth, improved overall performance, and reduced message latency across connections.

Fibre Channel Support
For high bandwidth, best latency and performance, the Open-E NAS Enterprise version supports Fibre Channel HBA´s of Emulex and Qlogic. Fibre Channel is the standard connection type for connecting high speed storage devices.

RAID Interface Support
The Open-E NAS Enterprise solution can support most hardware ATA / SATA / SCSI RAID controllers of:
- 3ware
- Adaptec
- ICP Vortex
- Intel
- LSI Logic

More information you will find in our Compatibility List for RAID Controllers

Email Notification
Open-E NAS can be configured to send email alerts to the system administrator in case of problems with the Open-E NAS server.

Console Tools
The Open-E NAS management console allows managers to monitor the status of the network, drivers and hardware, as well as to view information about memory usage. They can also control the Ping function, time settings, and DNS and DHCP configuration. Through the console, administrators can also change the language in which they run Open-E NAS.

Log Function
Open-E NAS allows the storage administrator to transmit error logs or system logs to Open-E to aid in diagnostics and troubleshooting.

LCD Panel Support
Open-E NAS Enterprise supports the LCD panel (Pyramid LCD Display) as an optional display. Therefore, you don't need a monitor for configuring your NAS server manually.

No individual client or server licenses are required
With Open-E NAS Enterprise, it doesn't matter how many users you have on your network, whether there are 5, 50, 500, or more: You pay the same price for Open-E NAS Enterprise, and you just pay it once.

Is dit een reclame post ofzo?

Sorry, maar een topic dat alleen bestaat uit een dergelijke copy/paste van een datasheet is niet echt de bedoeling. Als je nou een aanzet voor een discussie zou geven zou dat al acceptabel zijn; dit is echt te mager.
