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 ...

Server fans play a key role in maintaining the temperature at an optimal level. They operate at high speeds to ensure sufficient airflow within the server system, thereby cooling it. Most server fans are designed to operate at different speeds, which significantly enhances their efficiency. This means that when the server system is under load, the server fans operate at higher speeds to increase cooling, and when the load is light, the speed decreases. The main function of server fans is to ...

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 ...

The Nebula cloud Controller from Zyxel allows you to create VPN scenarios with Multi-WAN, in which you do not even need to specify gateway addresses and connection parameters. Lazily clicking the mouse, everything is configured and monitored by itself. We are considering how it works. Until now, for many network administrators, VPN tunnels present difficulties, especially when you simultaneously implement both client access to the node and communication between offices. It's not easy enough ...
