Best-in-class Storage Efficiency, Performance and Data Integrity

(1)

Integrating NAS (network-attached storage) and IP-based SAN (storage area network)

functionality into a unified solution, ZyXEL’s new UNS2700 and UNS2300 Unified Network Storage are tailor-made for a wide variety of business storage applications including private cloud, server virtualization, data backup and disaster recovery. The ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 are 2U, 12-bay Unified Network Storage with 10-Gigabit connectivity (UNS2700) and support for 4 TB hard drives. They are designed with enterprise-class features like the ZFS file system, thin provisioning, data deduplication and SSD caching to deliver rock-solid data integrity, ultra-fast RAID building times and best-of-class storage efficiency. They also provide multiple backup options with local and remote data replication, and cloud backup with Amazon S3. Designed with the most advanced hardware and software features within their class, the UNS2700 and UNS2300 Unified Network Storage are the most ideal storage solution for small- and medium-sized businesses.

Benefits

Rock-solid data integrity

Businesses that have ever lost important files or experienced data corruption know that their storage solutions’ file systems need improvement. Featuring the industry’s most resilient ZFS file system, the ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 Unified Network Storage offer much better data integrity than competitors in the same class. These ZyXEL Unified Network Storage are designed with a focus on data integrity. Their ZFS file system can detect silent data corruption (errors that go unnoticed in other files systems) and repair corrupt data on the fly with its self-healing architecture. Combining proven technologies, such as copy-on-write transactional model and 256-bit checksums, the ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 deliver end-to-end data integrity at all times and protect businesses against costly data loss.

Ultra-fast RAID building times

The long hours in building new RAID arrays or adding new storage to servers can be very stressful, especially in business environments where demand for storage is large. As the competitive business landscape pushes forward the need for faster application deployments and the capacity of hard drives continue to grow, businesses need a solution that provides faster storage deployment times to stay competitive and to lower deployment overhead.

The ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 Unified Network Storage utilize advanced ZFS technology to deliver ultra-fast RAID building times that put competitors to shame. Compared to other solutions that use legacy file systems, the UNS2700 and UNS2300 offer significant performance improvements in building new RAID arrays, recovering from outages, and replacing hard drives. For example, it takes merely 1 minute for a UNS2300 to build a RAID 5 array with six (6) 1 TB hard drives, while a competitor running on a legacy file system will take over 3 hours to complete the same task. With the ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300, users can literally have the storage up and running in less than 10 minutes.

Extraordinary storage efficiency

The ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 Unified Network Storage provide enterprise-class features like thin provisioning, data deduplication and compression, and SSD caching to optimize disk utilization and storage efficiency.

• Thin provisioning allocates storage capacity dynamically, which maximizes the utilization of available storage and minimizes wasted storage space. The result is much improved disk utilization and more flexible resource management.

• Data deduplication and compression allow businesses to get the most out of their available storage space. It reduces data volume and eliminates duplicate copies of repeating data. This function allows the ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 to save up to 90% storage space*1_.

• SSD caching can vastly improve deduplication and synchronous write speeds to provide faster data backup, database and NFS applications. Each storage pool supports up to 4 SSDs for read cache and 2 SSDs for write cache. Test results show that SSD caching boosts data backup throughput with deduplication enabled by up to 210% and synchronous write IOPS (input/output operations per second) by up to 310%.

Complete backup solution

The ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 Unified Network Storage offer a complete backup solution to fulfill every backup demand of small- to medium-sized businesses. They provide multiple backup options including local file and volume cloning, remote file and volume replication, as well as cloud backup and disaster recovery with Amazon S3. To form a complete backup solution, these ZyXEL Unified Network Storage support Apple Time Machine, a total of 4,096 snapshots, and comes with Acronis Backup & Recovery Server OEM.

Advanced data protection

In addition to the more commonly supported RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10, the ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 Unified Network Storage offer more advanced data protection options than competitors with support for RAID 50 and RAID 60. RAID 50 is a RAID 0 array striped across the distributed parity of RAID 5, and RAID 60 combines RAID 0 with the distributed double parity of RAID 6. With support for RAID 50 and RAID 60, the ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 offer both better performance and better protection against drive failures than competitors within their class.

Additionally, the ZyXEL UNS2700 and UNS2300 come with McAfee’s award-winning VirusScan Enterprise for Storage to provide continuous protection for storage data and to prevent malicious files from spreading in the system. Together with advanced data integrity features and multiple backup options, the
