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 ...

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 ...

Now customers have the opportunity to use ZFS in entry-level storage: now you can combine deduplication and SAN connection via FC, configure caching of Cloud storage on a local disk, and synchronize backups between cloud services. Plus, you can mine cryptocurrency directly on the NAS. In the 2020s, QNAP could no longer avoid using a file system with Copy On Write support: yes, three years ago they had a powerful 2-controller machine based on the FreeBSD kernel in their arsenal, but the lack ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today we are looking at one of the most advanced managed switches on the market. Not so long ago, Zyxel built support for the nebula cloud management system into its professional devices, which allows you to configure and maintain the network on the site simply, and most importantly - remotely.
