Finding out if your backup and restore systems are working well is much more difficult than just knowing how long the backup process takes. Meeting the baseline requirements is a prerequisite for properly evaluating your system to determine if it is performing well or needs to be redesigned.
QNAP has got very interesting monstrous NAS-s for working with large amounts of data. The storage system under consideration today with a head unit for 24 3.5-inch hard drives makes it possible to pack 384 TB of data into one system and do without expansion shelves at all, which may be quite enough for the needs of a small enterprise.
Many specialists of small organizations clearly understand the advantages of ZFS and can justify to the management the savings from software LZ4 compression and deduplication when buying a new storage system, but there were no inexpensive solutions for this file system. But a holy place is never empty, and QSAN decided to combine in one device everything that we love in Linux and everything that we value in ZFS.
In this article, we will explore the capabilities of a local mail server that you can configure on your Synology NAS, test the speed, and look at anti-spam methods.
In this article, we're going to find out if a digital content company needs a fast 10 Gigabit NAS accelerated by SSDs? We will explore new technologies for working with SSDs and conduct tests in real applications.
No matter how beautiful IOPS the manufacturers promise us, no matter what synthetic tests show, the real speed of a typical virtual machine depends on how your server is configured and how the application itself works. Let's explore the impact of different types of caching on Synology NAS.
The amount of data stored in the world not only continues to grow, but is growing faster than predicted. It was expected that the share of data stored on flash and solid state drives would increase, while the amount of data stored on hard drives and tape would decrease. However, today it is clear that all three technologies continue to evolve simply because they require a lot of storage capacities.
Synology now has a free solution to back up and restore all of its infrastructure, including virtual machines, desktops, Windows servers, and NAS. We tested all its features, measured the speed and evaluated the pros and cons of this package.
This 2.4 TB hybrid hard disk for servers is interesting because it supports non-volatile write cache and has a 16 GB NAND read buffer. We tested it to see how the cache accelerates applications, whether WCE is set to 1, and to see if it is economical to use hybrid drives.
If in 2017 we backed up ourselves to the cloud, then starting from 2018 we back up the cloud to ourselves to protect our calendars, mail and contacts from blocking any messengers, disconnecting accounts and others misfortunes. Synology has a great tool for backing up Google and Microsoft services, which we'll test. Since we use such business-friendly products as Office 365, Google Drive and Calendar, Gmail and Shared Folders in G-Suite, we need to make sure that this data is safe.
With this storage system, you can create a 2-node Failover Virtualization Cluster in one box. This model is designed for video surveillance, for installations on hundreds of IP cameras, for storing hundreds of terabytes of data and for analyzing video recordings. We tested it using the Macroscop software.
If you need to move hundreds of terabytes of data between enterprise data centers, science has come up with nothing better than copying them to hard drives, loading them into the trunk of a car and carrying them like any other cargo. Even large integrators with When moving data centers, HDDs are packed in cardboard where, according to their own words, the disks are systematically dying. Orico has cases for different tastes: from 1 to 20 discs, you can be sure that they are safe.
