2.5-inch SATA, 8-bay, Intel Atom-based, QNAP SS-839 Pro Turbo NAS

QNAP Systems, Inc. introduces the SS-839 Pro Turbo NAS, the world's smallest 8-bay, Intel Atom network attached storage solution supporting eight 2.5-inch hard drives or solid state disks (SSD). Targeted at business users who require a storage solution of high performance, stability, scalability, low noise and low power consumption, the SS-839 Pro adopts low power Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz CPU, disk on module (DOM) architecture, and 2GB DDRII memory. The total storage capacity of the NAS is up to 4TB. It also features 2 eSATA and 5 USB ports for storage expansion and external storage backup. With ultra silent and excellent energy-saving design, the power consumption of the NAS with 8 hard drives installed is about 34W, which is almost 60% less than general 8-bay, 3.5-inch NAS. Moreover, the SS-839 Pro is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX operating systems. It offers abundant software features such as built-in iSCSI application (up to 8 iSCSI targets) with Thin Provisioning, Online RAID Capacity Expansion, Online RAID Level Migration, AES 256-bit volume-based encryption, Wake on LAN, automatic policy-based IP blocking, network share status report, instant SMS and email alert, BT download, Touch-N-Go RAID configuration by the LCD panel, scheduled power on and power off (max 15 schedules), 2 Giga LAN ports, 4 IP cameras for network surveillance, etc.

"The SS-839 Pro is the 8-bay variation of QNAP's previously announced SS-439 Pro Turbo NAS. It is also the smallest 8-bay NAS in the current market with up to 4TB storage capacity. The NAS features low operation noise and low power consumption. When running 8 hard drives, the SS-839 Pro consumes almost 60% less electricity than a general 8-bay, 3.5-inch SATA NAS. It is definitely an ideal storage solution that largely reduces the electricity expenses of the business users", says Celia Lee, Product Manager from QNAP.

The SS-839 Pro is a powerful server of diversified features, e.g. network server, FTP server, web server with built-in phpMyAdmin, Joomla, MySQL/ SQLite, editable php.ini, printer server (up to 3 printers), etc. The exclusive QPKG software expansion feature enables the users to add more software applications to the NAS server such as setting up their own mail server by XDove or web page or online communication system with the customers by WordPress. Moreover, the users can make use of the Surveillance Station (network surveillance) with maximum four IP-based cameras for office security monitoring.

Boosts Network Traffic Speed

Dual 10Gbps SFP+PCI Express Server Adapter

10 Gigabit Performance Boosts Network Traffic
The PLANET ENW-9800 dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet server adapter is an optimal solution for Ethernet applications by providing strict low-power budgets and small form factor. It offers simple integration into any PCI Express x8 server slot via two SFP+ connectors. The onboard controller featured on the ENW-9800 integrates embedded technology and a 10GbE MAC into a single chip that offers up to 10Gbps of network throughput. PLANET Network solution greatly reduces the TCP/IP packet processing tasks of the servers CPU by performing enhanced data-handling algorithms, thereby providing nearly 10Gb line speed performance with the simplicity of a conventional Network Interface Card (NIC).

Next Generation Server Adapter for growth and expansion of networking environments
The ENW-9800 is a PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed to address high-performance system application requirements. With the innovative PCI Express Bus Architecture, the ENW-9800 provides better performance than the network cards based on 32/64bit PCI architecture. It provides the best solution for one of the major issues of Server Farm Networks - communication speed. Ten times faster than existing 1000Base-SX/LX solutions, using the PLANET ENW-9800 to connect your servers and workstations guarantees extremely high throughput and excellent signal quality.

Key Features
* Two SFP+ connectors
* PCI Express x8 Host Bus interface
* 16K Jumbo Frame
* IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN
* IEEE 802.1p CoS traffic priority
* SNMP RMON Statistics
* Low Power Consumption
* Microsoft, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris OS
* Virtual NIC support
* Lower CPU utilization - reduce CPU usage and enhance throughput

Application
Server NICs

With ten times performance of existing Gigabit transmission, the ENW-9800 can easily act as a server NICs of your networks by wiring to the backbone Switches. With one PCI Express interface design, the ENW-9800 is right for the main board with PCI Express now and future.


Network Surveillance System: QNAP VioStor-8040U-RP NVR and VioStor-8040 NVR

QNAP Security unveils the high performance 8-bay chassis VioStor-8040U-RP NVR and 8-bay tower VioStor-8040 NVR network surveillance systems featuring Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz CPU, 2 GB DDRII memory, 8 hot-swappable hard drive bays for up to 16TB storage capacity, 40-channel recording from IP cameras, megapixel recording (up to 8 megapixels) and other advanced features such as RAID 0/1/5/6/5+spare/6+spare, Online RAID Capacity Expansion, and Online RAID Level Migration. The VioStor-8040U-RP NVR and VioStor-8040 NVR support M-JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264 video compression and are compatible with the IP-based cameras and network video servers from AXIS, ACTi, Arecont, Canon, Cisco, D-Link, EDIMAX, ELMO, EtroVision, GANZ, iPUX, IQeye, LevelOne, Linksys, MOBOTIX, Panasonic BB/ BL/ i-Pro, SANYO, SONY, TOA, TOSHIBA, TRENDnet, VIVOTEK, and Y-CAM, etc.

The VioStor-8040U-RP NVR and VioStor-8040 NVR adopt Intel Core 2 Duo high performance CPU and are able to achieve up to 300Mbps throughput, which is on top of other embedded NVR brands in the current market. Both NVR supports H.264 video compression which delivers small-sized and high quality recording. Also, over 24 IP camera brands and 300 IP camera models are supported. The users can freely select their camera combination for simultaneous monitoring on one NVR. The NVR is an excellent option for central monitoring and recording of numerous network cameras in a large-scale surveillance system."

The QNAP VioStor-8040U-RP NVR and VioStor-8040 NVR are standalone systems that can be set up in 6 steps without any software required on the PC. The NVR users can use the unique multi-server monitoring feature to monitor up to 120 IP camera channels from multiple QNAP NVR servers. Also, the NVR supports dual screen display and diversified display modes, allowing simultaneous monitoring from up to 42 channels. Complete recording features are provided, e.g. schedule recording, alarm recording, alarm recording schedule, motion-detection recording, pre-alarm, and post-alarm recordings. Other features including intelligent data search by timeline and event type, DDNS, dual Giga LAN for network failover, load balancing, and multi-IP settings. Moreover, the VioStor-8040U-RP NVR is featured with two power supply units and hot-swappable redundant power design. A failed unit can be replaced without shutting down the system, which guarantees high system stability and continuous system operation.
