SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
In this part, it will cover the detailed specification summary of all important
components that make up the Acer Altos NAS 700 Appliance.
ACER Altos NAS700 Appliance Features
High density computing in a competitive world calls for a server that can keep
up and still stay cool in a rack. It's your life in the business fast lane that insists
on reliability, performance, and space to move.
The Altos NAS 700 appliance is based on the ACER ALTOS G710 server that
offers excellent storage scalability with its 8 slots. For applications needing high
performance and high availability, the Altos NAS 700 Appliance uses an Intel
Xeon processor. High capacity and high-speed network enabled, this is an
appliance to be reckoned with. With the two on board Gigabit LAN adapters it
is also the perfect choice as a network file server.
• Provides high level of business continuity through a set of high availability
and fault tolerance. The Altos NAS 700 snapshot copy and TimeMark
®
protects where data from “soft-errors” such as accidental deletion, file
corruptions, and virus attacks. The Altos NAS 700 snapshot copy creates
scheduled or on-demand point-in-time snapshot copies of data volumes-
“TimeMark
®
”. TimeMarks contain only data changes and therefore do not
take up a significant amount of disk storage space. Up to 4 TimeMarks can
be maintained and used for fast backup and data recovery.
• Reduced storage TCO (total cost of ownership) through increased
server/storage resources utilization and simplified storage management.
Through providing simultaneous access to both file and block-level
applications, Acer Altos NAS 700 enables a consolidated storage platform
that can serve storage to any application servers from database, messaging
applications (Microsoft
®
Exchange, Oracle
®
, Lotus
®
Notes, Sybase
®
IBM
®
DB2, SQL servers to web servers and file servers under a central console. As
storage is consolidated and centralized, the capacity can easily be shared
and reallocated among applications servers, minimizing the amount of
unused capacity and the management of the storage resources is greatly
simplified.
• Lower TCO simplified and accelerates backups.
Altos NAS allows existing 3
rd
party backup software to backup remote
server’s disk over IP or FC at speeds up to 2 gigabits per second. Application
servers’ performance is increased through the elimination of overhead
associated with backup/restore operation and any additional processor
load on the application server because all data movements and backup
command are controlled by the Acer Altos NAS with no impact on the
application servers. Furthermore, since only one copy of backup software is
