Stacking of Zyxel XGS2220 series switches: testing features
Switch stacking technology allows you to combine several physical switches into one virtual switch, combining their switching matrices and simplifying port management from a single stack web interface. One of the most popular functions of the stack is to combine ports from different switches into common lagging groups to get a fault-tolerant network that can withstand the breakdown of N-(N-1) switches. I want to draw attention to the fact that modern Zyxel combines support the connection of up ...
QNAP TS-262 - Little hero of a small office
This model shows that even a small 2-disk desktop NAS can pleasantly surprise with storage capabilities: up to 4 NVME SSDs and up to 16 hard drives when using cards and expansion shelves. The ability to configure layer-by-layer storage and run applications in containers in a compartment with a 2.5-gigabit network makes it an excellent choice for a modern office with remote access and Wi-Fi 6.
I already described the concept of a modern office in which all employees work remotely and only ...

Discovering the features of QNAP QGD-3014 - a hybrid of a PoE switch and a NAS
A very unusual NAS, which the manufacturer himself considers to be Smart Edge switches. It has a built-in PoE switch for 16 ports, as well as 2.5-Gigabit Upstream interfaces and a software architecture with isolated network spaces for video surveillance.
Usually, the infrastructure of video surveillance systems in buildings is hidden in telecommunication cabinets, installed in isolated rooms, away from prying eyes and ears. However, not every company can afford a dedicated space for NVR ...

Storage and backup of virtual machines on QNAP NAS
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 ...
Synology UC3200 Review: affordable dual-controller iSCSI storage
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 QSW-1208-8C: 10GBe switch review
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 ...
Aquantia AQtion AQC107 vs Intel X550-T2 - comparing 10G interfaces in iSCSI and CIFS file operations
Aquantia network chips are increasingly being distributed as an expensive home or low-cost business solution for 10-Gigabit networks. We compared the company's youngest chip with Intel's flagship network card when working with file operations, and the results were amazing.
The young company Aquantia was not known to anyone 2-3 years ago, and today its network controllers have become a passport to the world of 10-Gigabit networks for thousands of gamers around the world. This brand entered ...
