Specifications

1. Active Directory (AD) Support

ctive Directory is a directory service integrated to Windows 2003 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), featured with single

management interface for managing items collectively and supports assigning different directory access privilege, which avoids

excessive operation and lowers IT maintenance cost.

New generation QNAP NAS with Windows 2003 AD has the following features:

Supports quick and direct import to an organization’s internal Active Directory basic structure, and lowers software installation and

management cost by automatic con guration procedure.

Centralized user and user group safe mode to simply assigning directory access right; supports  le resource access in the whole area.

Secure access to system data.

2. Network Fail-over / Load-balancing / Multi-IP Setting

ith the NASWare Advanced Edition and 2 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, QNAP’s NAS series can be set up either on Fail-over or Load-

Balancing mode. Should one of the network connections comes to a halt, the other will immediately spring into action to ensure

network connection and data availability. Load-balancing diverts any over-loading data  ow in one network to the other in order to improve

network ef ciency and increase the data transfer rate. The improvement is particularly noticeable on mass data storage systems

Fail-over

The Fail-over function offers a more reliable network

environment -should the main network connection fail

due to hardware or network problems, then the back-

up network will automatically replace the failed one.

Once the network problem has been solved, the main

network connection will function normally.

1. When the system is turned on, the Primary network

interface will be used for main data transmission,

while the Secondary network interface will remain on

stand-by mode.

Multi-IP Setting

Multi-IP Setting supports network environment of

multiple IP. NAS can be shared among different

LAN areas of different domains within a company, as

these areas remain separate.

Load-balancing

The use of Load-Balancing increases system

performance. Data  ow can be evenly distributed over

the two network interfaces to balance network loading.

If one of the network interfaces fails due tohardware

or network problems, then data transmission will be

automatically switched to the other normal interface.

2. If, for whatever reason, the Primary network interface disconnects, the

Secondary network interface will automatically connect to the Internet and the

Primary network interface will be turned on to stand-by mode.
