NAS at a Glance
Network Attached Storage
Utilizes a TCP/IP network to share data
Uses file sharing protocols like Unix (NFS),
Apple (AFP) and Windows (CIFS)
Storage Appliances utilize a strippeddown OS that optimizes file protocol
performance

How does a NAS work ?

Public or Private Ethernet

NAS Solution
NAS is the perfect solution for anyone who
wants to share, store, and protect their data
centrally

Before
Data stored locally.

After

Demand of Storage
Storage is always needed since data is growing
Ability to access, control, and protect the data is what
defines a personal cloud.

Limited Storage Capacity

Mobile devices offer limited storage capacity
Data is being kept in large local devices, network
storage, and cloud storage

Adoption of Cloud-based Storage

Exponential growth in cloud storage.

Quick adoption from 2011-2012

Cloud Service Providers

Is Your Data Safe on the Cloud?

Data security doubted.
Who is the owner of the cloud storage, you or the service
provider?
Access your files without your consent?

July 17 2012 Dropbox was

hacked and a number of users
were getting spam at the email
used for their Dropbox accounts.

December 2012 Instagram can

now sell your photos.

Costly Third Party Services

Is cloud storage affordable?
Amazon S3: 1TB$1140 Yearly
ElephantDrive: 1TB$1030 Yearly
Dropbox: 500GB$499 Yearly

All You Need is NAS, Your Personal Cloud

Your data in your control
Mass storage
The capacity of your cloud depends on your hard drives.
A single 4TB hard drive can store tens of thousands of digital
photos, music, and videos.
Affordable cost

Simultaneous access from different platforms

The multimedia files and documents can be accessed from
Windows, Mac, mobile phones, and tablets.

Easy instant sharing

The files can be shared by email or SMS or by sending
hyperlinks from PCs and mobile devices.

What is Hardware-Assisted
Locking?

VAAI OFF

Hardware Assisted Locking enables

granular locking of block storage devices
rather than entire LUN locking in SCSI. It
provides a much more efficient means to
avoid retries for getting a lock when many
ESXi hosts share a single datastore.

ESXi Host 1

Benefits:

ESXi Host 3

Permits the QNAP NAS to scale to more

VMs and more ESXi hosts w/o
performance penalty

Effective usage:

1. Create a virtual machine (VM1) on the

ESXi host 1, and use IOmeter to
generate I/O load on iSCSI datastore.
2. Create 16 virtual machines (VM2 to
VM17) on another ESXi host 2 and
perform the virtual machine power ON
operations simultaneously.
3. Record the throughput of the VM1.

Supports Microsoft ODX in Windows 2012

What is ODX?
Similar to VMware Full Copy
function, the Microsoft Offloaded
Data Transfer (ODX) enables the
QNAP storage to make full copies of
data within the NAS without needing
to have the Windows hosts read
and write the data.

Benefits:
Reduces the loading of Windows
