StorageWorld : Data Storage, RAID, SAN, NAS, Disaster Recovery & Backup

Discovery StorageWorld - Network Attached Storage

There is a seemingly countless number of network attached storage solutions from every vendor in the business. From simple JBOD volumes ready to attach directly to the LAN, to intelligent independent RAID LAN servers, to hybrid LAN/SAN servers, there is an apparent NAS solution for every configuration and requirement. Differentiating between products can be a time consuming but extremely important task.

For a general overview of NAS systems, our technical section holds some information you may find useful under General Introduction to NAS

StorageWorld 150GB NAS Server The StorageWorld 150GB NAS Server is a fully fledged NAS file server unit that specialise in storing and retrieving files from an array of disks to which they are connected. All the software required to run the server resides in flash memory, rendering these systems entirely self-contained. This ensures that the server will always boot when there are no disks attached to it, or in case of a major disk failure. Ethernet Support 10/100Mb/sec port for network growth and load balancing. SCSI Support StorageWorld NAS systems support two identical SCSI drives, each supporting an internal RAID configuration. The enclosure contains two 75GB drives in a mirrored configuration (RAID Level 1). Disks may be organised into volumes to store and retrieve user data. Embedded OS Embedded operating system - fully embedded NAS environment. Web Browser Admin Installs in minutes, simple point & click GUI for setup, monitoring, and administration. A volume is a logical organisation of storage that includes one or more disks.
JBOD (Just a Bunch of Drives - No RAID) RAID Level 1 (Mirroring)
Each volume has one file system that organizes user data in directories and files.
