Demand for storage space on school, colleges and universities networks is increasing by a factor of 4x each year.
Schools, colleges and universities are making increasing use of ICT in teaching and learning. Numbers of computers are growing fast, ICT is now being used across the whole curriculum and users are carrying out more sophisticated tasks.
As the number of files on the network increases, so do there sizes, as students work with multimedia files, presentation software, and graphic rich software. As a result ICT educators face several challenges, the main being maintaining and improving the performance of their ICT given their budgetary limitations, the growth of ICT use and the logistics of data storage and management.
Traditionally as a network reaches its limits the reaction has been to add more servers, or to plug in external storage devices, without addressing the needs of the network as a whole. Both solutions are short-term and expensive, often reduce network performance and introduce under utilized new technology.
Majentaonline offer schools, colleges and universities an answer that is cost-effective, makes best use of existing equipment and is future-proof. Using the latest technologies in NAS (network attached storage) data server from Netgear, Thecus and Qnap, including multimedia servers, Mejentaonline will save you time and money. By ensuring that your network data storage functions efficiently, reliably and accessible via multi OS platform network ie Windows, Mac, Linux or Unix. We can implement a solution that's right for your needs both today and in the future. See our suggestion Thecus N7700 and Netgear Pro.
Thecus N7700 up to 10.5TB Storage
Stackable Storage and iSCSI Ready The N7700 supports iSCSI initiators, which allows servers to access it as a direct-attached-storage device over LAN or Internet with excellent transfer speeds. With this capability, users can centrally manage and deploy storage for their entire network. In addition, the N7700 is also stackable, enabling users to connect their unit with up to five additional N7700s and manage them via a master system. With iSCSI and stack ability, expanding the capacity of application servers is both quick and easy.
Speed Without Compromise Equipped with a PCI-e interface, the N7700 provides even faster response and more concurrent connections. Also, with built-in compatibility with external modules, the N7700 can execute and run multiple applications at the same time, allowing it to handle a whole lot more than mere file storage.
RAID Expansion and RAID Level Migration The N7700 features RAID capacity expansion and RAID level migration, which means that users can add larger hard disks to available slots and join an existing RAID volume. The N7700 will automatically rebuild your RAID array and increase your storage capacity.
Multiple File System Support To meet upcoming standards and ensure maximum compatibility and flexibility, the N7700 offers support for ext3 and ZFS file systems. Users can select the system that they require and create the needed capacity for different applications. Never has there been a NAS unit this powerful and flexible.
Version Control and Remote Replication The N7700 is also equipped with Nsync, Thecus' remote data backup application. With Nsync, users can have the N7700 automatically upload files to an external storage device at a designated time. The N7700 is also capable version control via a snapshot function with the ZFS file system, allowing users to efficiently create and restore remote backups. For users, the result is total data security and peace of mind. NETGEAR ReadyNAS Pro up to 9 TB
