Description

• Cross-platform sharing with antivirus

  The TS-421U supports SMB/CIFS, NFS, and AFP protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, Linux/UNIX networks. User accounts and shared folders can be created via the user-friendly web-based interface without IT expertise. The integrated antivirus solution for the TS-421U ensures business continuity by offering detection against the latest viruses, malware, worms, and Trojan horses.

• Shared folder aggregation

  Access the shared folders of other servers on Microsoft Networking through the "portal folder" on the TS-421U. This saves the time and effort in logging in multiple servers one by one.

• ISO file archiving and sharing

  The TS-421U supports mounting ISO images of CD and DVD discs as network shares for data archiving, storage, and sharing. This feature saves the space for storing the physical discs, reduces the risk of data loss caused by disc wearing and tearing, and enhances the efficiency of data sharing on business network.

• Advanced folder permissions

  Advanced folder permissions allow users to configure folder/subfolder access to the TS-421U. With this feature enabled, users can manage the folder permissions from Microsoft Windows or the web-based management interface of the TS-421U easily.

• Well-rounded backup solutions

  The TS-421U offers the IT administrator flexible server backup solutions, including encrypted remote replication, Real-time Remote Replication (RTRR), and cloud-based storage backup. Windows users and Mac users can use QNAP NetBak Replicator utility and Time Machine respectively to back up data to the TS-421U.

• Disaster recovery solution

  The TS-421U offers users peace of mind, business continuity, and high availability of data by providing the ability to recover their data from disasters.

• Real-time Remote Replication

  Real-time Remote Replication (RTRR) provides real-time or scheduled data replication between the TS-421U and a remote QNAP NAS, an FTP server, or an external drive.

• Cloud storage backup

  Get ready to send private data to the clouds! The TS-421U supports Amazon S3, ElephantDrive and Symform cloud storage backup which have several backup modes including real-time, scheduled backup and versioning control so that the data can be restored from any point of time. With ElephantDrive cloud storage can be monitored through a web browser. An extra set of all of the data stored will always be available, so remote data recovery is quick and simple.

• Backup to external drive via USB 3.0

  The IT administrator can connect external storage devices to the Turbo NAS via the eSATA or USB ports and back up data in the NAS shared folders to the external devices. Three backup modes are provided: instant, scheduled, and automatic backup.

• MyCloudNAS access code

  While exposing the TS-421U to the Internet could raise security concerns, the MyCloudNas access code provides privacy control to make selected services only visible to authorized users.

• Global hot spare

  The global hot spare feature allows the IT administrator to share spare drives with multiple RAID volumes on the TS-421U. When a hard drive fails in any RAID volume, the global hot-spare drive will automatically replace the failed drive to prevent data from being lost. Compared with a local spare drive, the Global Hot Spare function offers more efficient use of spare drives.

• Eco-friendly and energy-efficient

  The TS-421U features green technologies to protect the environment and save electricity bill. The smart fan monitors the system temperature of the TS-421U and automatically adjusts its speed to ensure quiet operation and power saving. The hard drives can be set to enter standby mode after a period of idling to reduce power consumption and extend hard drive lifespan. Scheduled power on/off feature provides flexibility to only allow the TS-421U to operate in designated time and therefore minimize power usage.
