Artificial intelligence is marching to the masses, and now NAS has the ability to recognize faces and classify objects in the video surveillance system. Now you can configure and send alerts for security guards, automatically open locks or use IoT algorithms depending on who exactly is in the camera's field of view. Many corporate buyers of Synology NAS are choosing these video surveillance solutions because, since time immemorial, the company has provided a simple and effective security ...

In small companies, NAS can significantly reduce infrastructure costs. Those who decommissioned servers yesterday by moving resources to the NAS are canceling their subscriptions to the software that QNAP performs out of the box today. And now the time has come when QNAP swooped down on the sacred: the reservation of virtual machines. In 2019, the world market for backup and data recovery software, according to estimates by Allied Market Research, amounted to $ 9.3 billion. An article of ...

This model is the only NAS of its kind that achieves Active-Passive fault tolerance not only for file protocols, but also for embedded software, including video surveillance, virtualization server, backup and containers . The ink hasn't dried yet in our review of the dual-controller iSCSI storage we are already testing Synology a logical continuation of the two-controller series of storage systems from the same manufacturer: a full-fledged NAS, made according to the fault-tolerant Active- ...

First dual-controller storage from Synology, marketed as iSCSI storage for virtualization hosts. We will test how quickly it switches between controllers and how it recovers back. Perhaps since Synology released its first rackmount NAS, at all press conferences the company has been asked when will they release a 2-controller solution? The manufacturer himself explained for a long time that the company has a High Availability solution for organizing NAS into a cluster, that in the modern ...

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. QNAP has got very interesting monstrous NAS-s for working with large amounts of data. The model under review with the long name TS-2483XU-RP is a data storage ...

This switch has no competitor with the same number of ports and support for 2.5 G Base-T and 5GBase-T. We tested this model for compatibility with existing network cards and cables, as well as measured performance. When purchasing a modern 10-Gigabit NAS, you will probably ask yourself the question: what should I connect it to? Regardless of whether your server has 10 GB network ports or you will add them with expansion cards, you need to decide whether you will use a copper cable (twisted ...

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. I recently had a discussion with a colleague about laying a Category 7 copper cable in a quartet for a 10 Gigabit network with a 40 Gigabit scope. It’s not an easy idea, I’ll tell you, to drag a cable a penny thick along the baseboards and through the wall, and it also bends very ...

Testing the top-end enterprise-class NAS from QNAP, we ask two questions: what acceleration will we get using the technology of data distribution over layers (Tiering) for each invested dollar, and whether we can use the built-in hypervisor in this storage system, set up a full-fledged remote desktop, with 3D graphics for working in 3D Studio Max and Sketchup. Modern storage systems are primarily software functions aimed at storing, protecting and distributing information. I would like to ...

With the release of a dual-socket storage system with 24 SSD drives, Synology announced: here is our product on which you can build fast high-availability systems and hyper-converged virtual systems, where storage and server are combined in one device. It is one of the fastest NAS devices to go on sale today. Promised performance - up to 500K IOPS in 4K Random Read, minimum power consumption like two light bulbs, horizontal and vertical scalability, including available expansion components. We ...

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. Toshiba, a major manufacturer of flash drives and hard drives, forecasts only 10% of corporate data will be stored on SSDs in the year, although it seems that all storage manufacturers have forgotten ...
