NAS + iSCSI Combo Solution
The Turbo NAS can serve as a NAS for file sharing and iSCSI storage concurrently.
Flexible Management
The Turbo NAS supports multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) and iSCSI targets. LUNs
can be flexibly mapped to, unmapped from, and switched among different iSCSI targets.
Secure Deployment
Designed with CHAP authentication and LUN masking, the advanced ACL (Access
Control List) offers the capability to block unauthorized access from the initiators.
Designed for Virtualized and Clustered Environments
Compared with a high cost Fibre Channel SAN, the Turbo NAS is an affordable
system that can be deployed as a storage center for virtualized and clustered server
environments, such as VMware and Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster.
SPC-3 Persistent Reservation Supported
The built-in iSCSI service supports enterprise-level features such as SPC-3 persistent
reservation for clustering in VMware and Windows Server 2008. The IT administrator
can set up Microsoft Failover Cluster environment, use Cluster Shared Volume for
Hyper-V, and execute virtual machine live migration between Hyper-V hosts.
Advanced MPIO and MC/S Supported
With the support of MPIO (Multipath Input Output) and MC/S (Multiple
Connections per Session) on the Turbo NAS, users can connect to the iSCSI
targets on the Turbo NAS using two or more network interfaces from their
server with failover and load balancing. Furthermore, with MC/S settings better
data transmission performance is achieved.
The unique "Virtual Disk Drive" adds flexibility to expand the capacity of the Turbo
NAS. By using the built-in iSCSI initiator, the Turbo NAS can connect to other iSCSI
targets on the network and turn them into virtual disks, which become multiple
single volumes on the Turbo NAS. Up to 8 virtual disks can be stacked.
iSCSI LUN Snapshot/Backup
Server virtualization reduces IT expenditure yet provides flexible server management.
Adopting a proper data protection and disaster recovery for virtual machines has
become vastly important. The Turbo NAS has taken iSCSI LUN backup/restore to a
whole new level with snapshot technology. The IT administrator can use the LUN
snapshot to back up contents in the LUN to various storage destinations, including
Windows shared folders via SMB/CIFS, Linux shared folders via NFS, or local shared
folders on the Turbo NAS.
Instant SMS, Email and Windows Live Messenger Alert
Configure the SMTP server, SMS server, and Windows Live
Messenger account settings on the Turbo NAS in order to receive
instant system warning or error messages via email, SMS, and
Instant Messages.

S.M.A.R.T. & Advanced Hard Drive Health Scan (HHS)
Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.)
helps the IT administrator monitor hard disk status. Moreover,
the Turbo NAS supports Hard Drive Health Scan (HHS) for disk
checking and bad blocks scanning.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Collect the information, warning, or errors of the Turbo NAS
and send warnings to up to 3 SNMP servers for centralized
management and real-time monitoring.

Scheduled Power on/off
Create schedules to automatically turn on, turn off, or restart the
Turbo NAS. Up to 15 schedules can be set.
Comprehensive Event Logs
Detailed logs of file-level access to the Turbo NAS via Samba,
iSCSI, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, and SSH, and networking
services accessed by online users can all be recorded.
Wake on LAN
Enable this option to power on the Turbo NAS remotely by
Wake on LAN. Wake on LAN helps the administrator manage
the NAS conveniently.

Switch
The Turbo NAS supports multiple bonding modes: Balance-rr (Round-Robin),
Active Backup, Balance XOR, Broadcast, IEEE 802.3ad, Balance-tlb (Adaptive
Transmit Load Balancing), and Balance-alb (Adaptive Load Balancing).
Load Balancing
TThe LAN ports of the Turbo NAS can be configured in load balancing mode for
bandwidth aggregation to boost file transfer speeds. It works with managed
Ethernet switch with 802.3ad configured.
Failover
The LAN ports of the Turbo NAS can be configured in failover mode which
allows the Turbo NAS to sustain the failure of one network port and provide
continuous services.
Multi-IP Settings
The Turbo NAS can be deployed with multiple different IP settings for sharing
among different workgroups in two different subnets.
10 Gigabit Ethernet
Network Ready
The TS-x79 Series Turbo
NAS has an optional 10 GbE
network card which can be
added to fulfill demanding
applications that require
high bandwidth.
