The FlexStor-NAS™ 1600qz 3Gbps SATA RAID NAS server is a high-availability NAS appliance that incorporates storage capacities of 8,000GB (8TB) to 16,000GB (16TB) with the latest RAID and NAS technologies. High performance features include single or dual Intel Quad-Core Xeon processors, up to 16GB system memory, and dual 10/100/1000 copper gigabit Ethernet connectivity. An optional high-speed 2,400GB (2.4TB) 10,000RPM storage capacity is also available.

This fault-tolerant data storage comes in a convenient, space-saving 3U Rackmount chassis with hot-swappable drives and trays, redundant 800 Watt hot-swappable 1+1 power supply, and an advanced cooling system. Your data is protected with your choice of RAID 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6 and JBOD across sixteen hot-swappable SATA disk drives on a high-performance 3Gbps SATA RAID controller.

Installation and setup are a breeze, allowing the FlexStor-NAS 1600qz to be up and running in about 15 minutes after it is unpacked from the box. Additional software, including backup client or server applications, may be loaded on the NAS appliance via its integrated DVD-ROM drive.

FlexStor-NAS Servers are powered by Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 64-Bit operating system. Windows Storage Server allows the FlexStor-NAS to be used as a file server, domain controller, application server, web server, name server, print server, streaming media server, and more!

Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 includes Remote Desktop and an intuitive browser-based management interface, which allow system administrators to remotely manage the FlexStor-NAS Server from anywhere in the world. It also includes Volume Shadow Copy Service which makes storage and back up easier, while reducing demands on system administrators. Volume Shadow Copy technology enables you to retrieve old copies of deleted files right from your Windows desktop.

Not only is the FlexStor-NAS 1600qz great as a stand-alone network-attached storage device, but it is also highly expandable as well. Optional single or dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controllers allow the FlexStor-NAS 1600qz to be connected to external Ultra320 SCSI-attached RAID subsystems to vastly increase your available fault-tolerant storage capacities. An external tape backup device can also be connected to this SCSI controller for disaster recovery.

Or for even higher throughput, choose the optional 4Gb Optical Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters available with either single, dual or quad-ports -- allowing you to expand the FlexStor-NAS 1600qz with multiple Fibre Channel-Attached RAID subsystems scaling up to an additional 100+ TeraBytes of storage.

Whether you are building your company's storage network from the ground up, or just need to add more storage to your existing network, the FlexStor-NAS 1600qz NAS Storage Appliance is the solution for you!
