- Productivity Enhancing Efficiency with Deduplication and ADS
- Single-Instance Storage (Dedup)
The N16910SAS runs on ThecusOS 7.0, which provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate. The control panel has five main categories: Control, Privilege, Storage, Services, and Backup, all of which let users control various aspects of this NAS. Network connectivity is achieved via two RJ45 ports, allowing your stored data to be shared with users throughout the network, including mobile devices, using services such as T-OnTheGo and PLEX Media Server.
This NAS also serves as a centralized backup target for computers in your network. Using the bundled Acronis True Image backup software, users will be able to back up all of their data, or pick and choose their most important files and folders. Also supported is a variety of RAID modes, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, each of which provides performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both. For those who do not require RAID support, JBOD is also supported. Select RAID modes also support how-swap, hot spare, RAID level migration, RAID expansion, and AES 256-bit volume encryption.
For those who need to connect external peripherals to this NAS, it has been built with four USB 3.0 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, two PS/2 ports, one HDMI port, one DVI port, one VGA port, five 3.5mm audio jacks, and one S/PDIF jack. One PCIe x8 slot, one PCIe x4 slot, and one PCIe x1 slot allows for peripherals such as 10GbE cards, and overall device power is provided using dual redundant 500W power supplies. If you need to expand the overall device storage, up to four D16000 JBOD units can be daisy-chained using the SFF-8644 port. Included is an accessory bag, an Ethernet cable, a power cord, and sliding shelves. Protection is provided by a limited 5-year warranty.

Package Contents
Software Functions:
Improved Networking
- BranchCache
BranchCache can help you optimize Internet usage, improve performance of networked applications, and reduce trac on your wide-area network (WAN). - NIC Teaming
NIC Teaming, also known as load balancing and failover (LBFO), allows multiple network adapters on a computer to be placed into a team for bandwidth aggregation or trac failover to prevent connectivity loss in the event of a network component failure. - SMB Multi-channel
SMB Multichannel enables le servers to use multiple network connections simultaneously. It facilitates aggregation of network bandwidth and network fault tolerance when multiple paths are available between the SMB 3.0 client and the SMB 3.0 server.
Data Access & Protection
- Work Folders
A new feature that facilitates the BYOD (bring-your-own-device) scenario by enabling users to access work les from their personal computers and devices. Organizations retain centralized control over their data and can specify device policies such as encryption and lock screen password. - DFS Replication
Enhancements include increases in scalability, the ability to do database cloning and corruption recovery, a Windows PowerShell module, a new WMI provider, faster replication on high bandwidth connections, and recovery tools for conicts. - Failover Clustering
Failover clusters provide high availability and scalability to many server workloads. These include server applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server, Hyper-V, Microsoft SQL Server, and le servers. The server applications can run on physical servers or virtual machines.
Enhanced Scalability
- Storage Spaces
Storage Spaces delivers Software Dened Storage (SDS). Easily group multiple hard drives into a storage pool and protect data in the pool, without the need to understand RAID. Storage Spaces enables cost-eective, highly available, scalable, and exible storage solutions for business-critical deployments. - Data Deduplication
Controls data growth by removing duplicate data. Allows the server to eciently store, transfer and backup less data.
Server Virtualization Deployment
- Hyper-V
Windows Server Hyper-V oers a scalable and feature-rich virtualization platform that helps organizations of all sizes realize considerable cost savings and operational eciencies. Using Windows Storage Server 2016 Standard, you can take advantage of new hardware technology, while still utilizing the servers you already have. - OEM Appliance OOBE (out-of-the-box experience)
Enhancements include added support for four-node cluster deployments and a wizard for creating a domain controller within a Hyper-V VM that can be used to deploy a turnkey cluster-in-a-box.
Storage Protocols
- iSCSI Target Server
Improvements to iSCSI Target Server include support for VHDx (VHD 2.0) virtual hard disks for capacities of up to 64 TB. iSCSI Target Server also now supports SMI-S, enabling end-to-end provisioning using System Center Virtual Machine Manager. - SMB
Improvements to the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol include better SMB Direct performance, automatic rebalancing for Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) on scale-out le servers, shared VHDx les, Hyper-V Live Migration over SMB, SMB bandwidth management, detailed event messages, and more.
