The FlexStor-NAS™ 4020qz 3Gbps SATA RAID NAS server is a high-availability NAS appliance that incorporates storage capacities of 30,000GB (30TB) to 40,000GB (40TB) with the latest RAID and NAS technologies. High performance features include dual Intel second generation Quad-Core Xeon processors, up to 16GB fully-buffered system memory with error correction, and dual copper gigabit Ethernet connectivity. An optional high-speed 6,000GB (6TB) 10,000RPM storage capacity is also available.

This fault-tolerant data storage comes in a convenient, space-saving 8U Rackmount chassis with hot-swappable drives and trays, redundant 1300 Watt 3+1 power supplies, and an advanced cooling system. Your data is protected with your choice of RAID 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6 and JBOD across fourty hot-swappable SATA disk drives on high-performance 3Gbps SATA RAID controllers.

The FlexStor-NAS 4020qz provides two RAID Certified 36GB 10,000RPM WD Raptor disk drives mirrored at RAID 1 specifically for the operating system. These disks and RAID controller are completely independent of the data storage array.

Installation and setup are a breeze, allowing the FlexStor-NAS 4020qz 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 4020qz 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 4020qz 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 4020qz 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 4020qz NAS Storage Appliance is the solution for you!
