eRacks/NAS12

Here is a great economy-size data storage server solution for small to medium size companies that may not require larger amounts of disk space but do wish to have all the high-end power and cloud capabilities that come with our higher-end storage servers.

The eRacks/NAS12 Network Attached Storage file server requires only 2U on the datacenter rack and holds 12 hot-swap drive bays.  With eRacks Systems implementation of HGST 14 Terabyte hard drives with quote or HGST 12 Terabyte hard drives normally, the unit now can store up to 168 Terabytes or 144 Terabytes of networked raw storage space.

eRacks/NAS12 comes with Multiple Redundant High-efficiency Power Supply option.  The unit is a true green solution due to lower power usage by HGST hard drives.

As always, your server purchased from eRacks Systems will come pre-installed and ready-to-use, with your choice of open source operating system and software.  Customers can have other motherboard configurations as well.  Please contact us for details.

Green

The HGST drives are enterprise-class, high-reliability, helium-filled "Green" drives, which use less power while providing more data storage space.  Choosing these drives make eRacks/NAS12 a truly a greener solution.

Archival

The Seagate or HGST Archive SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) drives are for archival applications which have a typical usage profile of writing mostly new data (or journal-style data "At the end"), rather than re-writing existing data - hence the choice of these drives is more well-suited for Archival applications, or Near-Line Storage or Cold Storage.  

Pre-configured

As always, the unit comes pre-installed with your choice of open source operating system and software, and pre-configured to your needs and instructions - simply put any special provisioning or partition requests in the "notes" field when you place your order or request a quote. 

Cloud-Ready

For virtualization, we can install OpenStack, CloudStack, our own lightweight oVirt™ virtualization, or your choice.

Scale-out

For network storage / SDS (Software-defined-storage), we can install Ceph, DRBD, Samba, DLNA, NFS, etc. - you name it, we'll install it for you.
