The IQN104 is an easy-to-use multiprotocol storage system offering both NAS and iSCSI data access in one solution, with a flexible RAID Level option providing the versatility of primary and near-line storage using affordable SATA Hard Drive. These advantages facilitate IT departments to better consolidate their storage, reduce costs and increase efficiency with either maximizing performance or reducing cost per Giga Byte. In addition to distinct cost advantages the open architecture of Linux OS enables a degree of flexibility that cannot be matched by a dedicated Microsoft product. Capabilities such as native RAID functionality, heterogeneous client support, optimized file system and superior diagnostics mean that Linux based NAS solutions are often the best choice for existing and future network file sharing requirements.

With more critical data than before, organizations are looking to replicate and mirror data offsite as precaution against disaster and in some cases to meet regulatory requirements. Unfortunately most solutions are extremely costly leaving smaller and medium organizations without a safety net for their equally vital data. The IQN104 IP-storage appliance provides organizations with a robust disaster recovery solution:
‧ Multiple snapshots in sequence, which can be used to back-up or retrieve data.
‧ Remote mirroring allows block device replication of logical volumes.
‧ Remote replication, every write from the application is sent to the local disk system, which
　 sends it to the remote storage system.

The core of our NAS system is the RAID functionality that ensures uninterrupted operation in case of disk failure. The OS provide a very flexible and robust RAID capability: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50 & 6 – In addition the appliance has integrated support for 3Ware RAID controllers with an on-board processor for real hardware RAID, improving availability.
