The Solution

Considering our cumulative goals, we added QSAN XCubeNAS network attached storage to our system services lineup. We chose QSAN again as the powerful file management function of File Manager can effectively improve file sharing capacity and maintain the school’s evolving demands for high availability and efficiency.

The Benefits

The inbuilt Fast RAID Rebuild function of QSAN is tailored for intelligent system optimization; it can quickly repair abnormal hard disks without being time consuming, maintaining high standards of availability and stability. All the functionalities were designated from a user friendly perspective.

QSAN’s convenient utilization of the XInsight centralized management software to gather data of all QSAN products to the main server enables browsing of information about each device, including storage pools, logical volumes, hard disks, etc. and generate a detailed performance data log of up to one year’s worth of operations. Through this data, we can more quickly grasp the current status of all devices to predict and solve potential problems.
