The process of burning file to disk is now easy and smooth with Data Burn module.

Antivirus

Thecus' innovative hardware helps prevent failures. But sometimes you have to protect the NAS against itself. Adding an antivirus to the already comprehensive software bundle will provide the necessary software protection by scanning the files on your NAS and defending it against possible threats. McAfee is the world's largest dedicated security technology company and shares Thecus' spirit of dedication and quality. By establishing a strong partnership with them, Thecus will allow users the benefit of McAfee's powerful software on their NAS entirely for free.

The private and public clouds meet with Thecus' new DropBox, Amazon S3 and ElephantDrive cloud backup functionality! Guard your data with RAID at home and an additional level of protection in the Cloud. Just drag and drop files into the folder on your NAS and access them on any computer or mobile device with DropBox, Amazon S3 or ElephantDrive.

HDMI Output

Make your NAS into the ultimate multimedia hub! The N4510U PRO HDMI output allows you to connect your NAS directly to your TV for device management.

USB 3.0 Connectivity

The next generation of connectivity is here with speeds 10x faster than USB 2.0. Whether connecting digital cameras and smart phones, backing up large external hard drives, or extending the capacity of your NAS, USB 3.0 will make sure it's done in no time at up to 5 Gbit/s. Backwards compatibility adds the connectivity of a world full of USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices to get the best combination of speed and universal access.

When it comes to data management, Thecus NAS truly let you have it your way. Create multiple RAID volumes each supporting different RAID modes including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD for your own balance of performance and data protection. Should a hard drive malfunction occur, changing one is simple thanks to online RAID migration and expansion, hot spare, and auto rebuild.

Multiple File Systems

This is the unique combination that keeps Thecus users ready for whatever the future holds.�

Case studies

Doris, the CEO of a design startup, has watched as her dreams became reality and then some. Starting out small with renovations and interior design projects for friends and family, she found her approach of revitalizing the past to be a hit. The word spread and now she found herself at the head of 20 employees expanding to new premises in a month. Given the continuing growth of her business and the storage needs of hundreds of large Photoshop files, Doris has decided to invest in a rack system. Because of the N4510U Pro's vast array of software (such as Data Burn, which allows Doris to conveniently burn copies of her designs onto discs for clients, and a free copy of Acronis True image, for storing her employees work securely on her home NAS) and hardware features (for example the HDMI output, which means easy design sharing on the office HDTV), she confidently commits to her first of three Thecus® rackmounts.

It's coming to the end of the year and Michelle, an IT specialist, needs to improve the performance of her network with a limited budget. She's sure she could get the performance she needs out of an Intel® Core™ powered NAS, but the economical goals set by her manager don't allow for it. After reading some positive review of its predecessor, Michelle decides to add another Thecus® NAS to her company's IT infrastructure. She knows that with the N4510U PRO's iSCSI Thin-Provisioning, overheads will be kept low, there will be reduced energy consumption and heat generation, and that all the while she'll be clocking in higher data transfer speeds. Thanks the unit's VMWare certification, Michelle can also make the most of virtualization technology. Through this, she can ensure even greater energy efficiency, as well as improved system consolidation and simplification. And to top off all the savings Michelle has been able to make, she proudly finishes her quarterly report with a note that the system came bundled with a free copy of McAfee antivirus.

Getting the most out of your NAS

What sets Thecus® products apart from other similar devices, besides years of experience and numerous world firsts in the storage industry, are the modules (apps) that expand the functionality and extend the applicability of their NAS. Since the recent unveiling of the App Center this August, Thecus® has consolidated a database of over 200 frequently updated official and third-party modules. By sharing nearly double the number of modules as their nearest competitors, Thecus® users can be sure that they're getting a device with growing versatility and continued relevance in an ever-changing world.
