Network
Attached Storage (NAS) separates storage resources between network
and application servers so as to simplify storage management and improve
reliability, performance and efficiency of a network thereby increase overall
productivity of an organization.
A NAS device attaches directly to an existing LAN. A file
system is located and managed on the NAS device with data being transferred
to clients via industry- standard network protocols (TCP/IP) using industry-standard
file-sharing protocols. Such data-management capability or "intelligence"
of a NAS device allows true data sharing among clients with uniform networks.
The Orion NAS is optimized for the Pre-Press and Image
Design application, of which the benefits include:
Seamless Compatibility
The Pegasus NAS is fully-compatible with major operations and fine-tunes
for image-processing applications.
Superior Performance
The Orion NAS is designed with the Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth
which delivers SAN-like performance.
Increased Data Availability
Various RAID functions and embedded NAS backup functions guarantee always on-line data access and scheduled backup.
User Friendly Management
Web browser-based management interface and multiple language support makes the Orion 820SR easy and user friendly.
It is also great for security market applications in regards to network
video storage (recording or backup save) for a NAS supporting Net-DVR (network
digital video recorder) system or a NAS supporting Video Sever. The benefits
include:
1. Video data safety.
The RAID level setup gives mission critical users data protection against
any failing hard disk. And, the redundant power supply design (some models)
insures no interrupted system operation.
2. Storage expansion.
Increased archiving (recording or backup save) capacity from multiple hard
disks or multiple NAS systems for longer time video data storage.
3. Hot-swappable drives.
In case of any one of the hard disks failed, it is hot-swappable without
turning the NAS system down or stopping recording mode of a DVR or video
server. |
