The server also supports TCP/IP, CIFS, NFS, HTTP, FTP, and AppleTalk protocols.
The PCI expansion slot can be leveraged for enterprise needs to connect to Direct Attached Storage (DAS) and/or tape devices.
The Fastora NAS-104AW utilizes Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 which features simple management and a low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) to assist data centralizing and backup.
It strengthens data protection by providing OS failover, Mirroring, VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service), and more.
The VSS makes backup data readily available to clients, even with recovery version options, which ensures that data is being used more flexibly and efficiently.
For IT administrators, the Fastora NAS-104AW can work with their current business investments.
These include server management infrastructures, such as the Virtual Disk Service, Distributed File System (DFS), and Storage Management Service.
Axiomtek has specially bundled the Fastora NAS-104AW with a powerful backup utility - ExBoot, the backup and instant recovery software.
ExBoot allows outstanding backup capability with the whole system and instant external bootup, solving the difficulties of downtime and allowing the continuous run of applications on the NAS.
"Considering the data growth and different demands of NAS usage for SMB customers, the Fastora R and D team is devoted to developing the best, yet affordable data storage solutions with value-added features on a WSS platform," the Business Development Manager of Axiomtek, Aaron Lung, commented.
"With the ExBoot backup software, enterprise data is double protected.
The Fastora NAS-104AW features high-performance functionalities, but at a much more cost-effective price, and is indeed the perfect data protection engine for data centers and distributed computing environments for SMB's.
We believe our products are the right fit for any market." The Fastora NAS-104AW server is available now.
