20 NAS 1000s Administration Guide
Product Manageability
The NAS 1000s ships with the following utilities and features that ease the administration
tasks associated with managing the system:
â– The Rapid Startup Utility is a user friendly configuration utility that ensures easy
configuration.
â– The WebUI is a simple, graphical user interface (GUI) that helps with administration
tasks.
Product Redundancy
The NAS 1000s is specifically designed to perform file serving tasks for networks, using
industry standard components to ensure reliability.
Other industry standard features, such as redundant array of independent drives (RAID) and
remote manageability, further enhance the overall dependability of the NAS 1000s.
To ensure redundancy and reliability, the hard drives installed in the NAS 1000s are configured
so that a single drive failure will not cause data loss or system failure. The NAS 1000s is
configured a with dual boot capibility. When powered on, the NAS 1000s can boot using a
primary OS or a secondary recovery OS. The primary OS resides on drive 0 and is mirrored
on drive 1 while the secondary OS resides on drive 2 and is mirrored on drive 3. If the primary
OS becomes corrupted and un-bootable, the secondary OS is available for data backup prior to
using the Quick Restore DVD to restore the system to the factory default state.
The data volume is configured as a RAID 5 volume across all four drives. This ensures
redundancy in the event of a drive failure and the data volume is accessible by both the primary
OS and secondary OS.
Product Scalability
The NAS 1000s offers optimized performance for a growing environment. Storage capacity
can increase as a business grows without downtime or compromised performance. Internally
the NAS 1000s can grow up to four data drives. With four 250GB disk drives storage capacity,
it can grow up to 1TB of raw storage.
