FlashNAS FN-1200 Series

FlashNAS FN-1200 Series serves as 1U "gateway" with storage-based FlashDisk RAID or as a “appliance” with server-based EcoStor RAID using a single Intel LV5128 dual-core processor that runs Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008 R2. It supports volumes to 256 TB and enables flexible and easy deployment of FlashDisk arrays to multiple servers and hundreds of users over your existing LAN infrastructure. FlashNAS serves files to any Windows, Unix and Mac OS-X client without added hardware, software or rebooting the client.

Up to 336 TB with Snapshots, Speed, De-duplication and Intuitive GUI

FlashNAS scales to 336 TB of storage with one fully loaded FlashDisk VX-3400 disk array for primary and secondary storage. FlashNAS let you create frequent, scheduled snapshot backups to protect data and provide rapid data restores using Windows Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS). For maximum performance, FlashNAS is optimized for file serving and is 30% faster than a standard Windows Server. Redundant failover FlashNAS configurations are available for using Microsoft high availability software.

FlashNAS offers built-in data de-duplication featuring Single Instance Storage (SIS) that saves typically 35% of the storage space by eliminating duplicate files - linking them instead of storing them multiple times. To simplify management, FlashNAS has an intuitive, web-based GUI that simplifies storage management. It supports 64 point-in-time snapshots per volume, folder based quotas, native support for Windows, Linux and UNIX environments and file sharing across multiple operating systems.

FlashNAS includes: Support for both block and file storage using iSCSI target mode; Digital Archive automated hierarchical file migration to lower cost storage; Support for PC and MAC clients for media, research, education and collaboration; Optional CA WANsync for local and remote real-time, one-way, bi-directional and many-to-one replication.

Economical

Priced to compete with any quality NAS, the FlashNAS is a great value since it is configured for use in environments where the storage and servers are important to the enterprise. It supports hundreds of active users - without Client Access Licenses (CALs) - for big savings. The entire integrated solution of FlashNAS and FlashDisk storage and accessories are supported under a single warranty and service contract. The standard warranty includes 24x7 call center support and next day on-site service. Four hour response service is also available as an option.

Included functionality:
Shadow Copy Service	Restores deleted or corrupted files within minutes using Shadow Copy of shared folders. Stores up to 64 point-in-time copies per volume and provides the ability to recover previous versions of files.
Storage Manager	Optimize storage resources by setting quotas at volume, directory, and user levels. Also provides a File Filtering Service to enhance security and optimization of data. Storage usage reports are created to monitor resources.
Distributed File System	Build and manage a single, hierarchical view of multiple file servers. DFS simplifies management of data on multiple distributed servers and enables Windows Powered NAS software to automatically redirect users to data replicas in case data becomes unavailable. DFS provides replication and load balancing capabilities.
File and Print Serving	Deploy a dedicated file server to address growing storage requirements. Data protection features and support for multiple file protocols is an ideal solution for heterogeneous file serving. Integration with Active Directory services enables data security and ease of management.
FlashNAS Options
Gateway Storage	FlashDisk VX Series 1U/2U/3U enclosures with external RAID controllers. Provides capacity to 336 TB per array, uses 2.5” and 3.5” disk drives
Appliance Storage	EcoStore 2U JBOD enclosures that utilize FlashNAS internal PCIe RAID controller
CA WANsync	Provides data protection to remote FlashNAS
CA WANsync HA	Provides manual, scheduled and automatic failover to remote FlashNAS

	Quota limits enable IT administrators to allocate storage to departments as needed.
	FlashNAS provides traditional file sharing services - and can also present volumes as iSCSI targets accessible to all network servers with proper security privileges.
FlashNAS Storage Management
	FlashNAS provides shared file storage.
