Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 NAS-7450 overview
The reliable and high-performance business-class network storage, PLANET NAS-7450 is a 1U
4-Bay rack-mountable unified network storage system designed for those seeking reliable and
affordable server virtualization and file storage. The network storage unified architecture supports
both NAS and IP-SAN applications and solves numerous data management problems with a single
system. Integrated data protection and offsite replication features make managing complex business
storage environments affordable.
The NAS-7450 provides advanced RAID configurations including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 functions.
The HDD space in use can easily increases up to double with RAID-0 or real-time data backup to
prevent data lost with RAID-1. The basic RAID function will ask user to install two hard drives in the
same model when storing data, however, it also supports hot-swap design so that a failed drive can
be replaced by hot swapping without turning off the server. Besides, the best-in-class RAID on the
NAS brings users a higher level of data security by allowing one more hard drive failure than other
NAS with similar functions.
The NAS-7450 is equipped with the Intel Celeron processor, and it is a powerful 4-Bay network
attached storage (NAS) server, which is designed to provide a cost-efficient and easy-to-use solution.
It supports advanced user management functions such as private HDD space and login account. It
not only shares HDD space, but also positions as the central management device managing each
user of the device. With the NAS-7450, business-class office or home users will get a simple yet
effective way to expand the client side or the network data storage.
