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.

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 ...
QSAN XN8012R Storage Review: Virtualization + ZFS Onboard!
Many specialists of small organizations clearly understand the advantages of ZFS and can justify to the management the savings from software LZ4 compression and deduplication when buying a new storage system, but there were no inexpensive solutions for this file system. But a holy place is never empty, and QSAN decided to combine in one device everything that we love in Linux and everything that we value in ZFS.
