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 ...

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 ...

You are very lucky if you used the NAS's of this company only for storing files: you will easily find a replacement for yourself. It's much worse if your business is actively tied to DSM services, including those related to virtualization, video surveillance, backups and fault tolerance. After the events of February 2022, Synology was one of the first to file for divorce and leave the Russian market. This means that any other market is not immune from the fact that the company does not fall ...

A simple inexpensive NAS that has Plex, Owncloud, Nextcloud services, supports Docker, cloud management and its own backup system for Windows and Linux clients. It can work absolutely silently by turning off its fan. Terra Master is a relatively new brand in the market of data storage systems for home and small businesses. The company started its journey in 2014, and unlike most of its rivals, it did not focus only on NAS, but immediately offered models and DAS families with a Thunderbolt ...

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 ...

Think of devices that monitor production equipment in a factory, or a video camera that sends real-time recording from a remote office. As long as there is only one device, it is quite easy to transmit them over the network, but with the growth of their number, there are already problems with delays. We recently wrote about how the oil and gas industry uses IoT to place hundreds and thousands of sensors on its facilities. With so much input data transmitted by all these multiple IoT devices, ...
