The FlexStor-NAS™ 1603q Ultra320 SCSI RAID NAS is a high-availability NAS server that incorporates storage capacities of 1,168GB to 4,800GB (4.8TB) with the latest NAS and RAID technologies. High performance features include single or dual Intel second-generation Quad-Core Xeon processors, up to 16GB fully-buffered system memory with error correction, 15,000RPM spindle speeds, and dual copper gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

This fault-tolerant data storage comes in a convenient, space-saving 3U Rackmount chassis with hot-swappable drives and trays, redundant 650 Watt N+1 power supply, and an advanced cooling system. Your data is protected with your choice of RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 across sixteen hot-swappable Ultra320 SCSI disk drives, on a high-performance multi-channel Ultra320 SCSI hardware RAID controller.

Installation and setup are a breeze, allowing the FlexStor-NAS 1603q 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 via its integrated DVD-ROM drive.

FlexStor-NAS Servers are powered by Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 64-Bit operating system. Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 is a dedicated file and print server based on Windows Server 2003 that is designed for dependability, seamless integration, and best value in networked storage. Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 integrates with existing infrastructures and supports heterogeneous file serving as well as backup and replication of stored data. Windows Storage Server is also an ideal solution for consolidating multiple file servers into a single solution that enables cost reduction and policy-based management of storage resources.

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 1603q Ultra320 SCSI RAID NAS 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 1603q 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 1603q with multiple Fibre Channel-Attached RAID subsystems scaling up to an additional 100+ TeraBytes of storage.

Whether you are building your company's network from the ground up, or just need to add more storage to your existing network, the FlexStor-NAS 1603q Ultra320 SCSI RAID NAS Server is the solution for you!
