AccuNAS AN8L12

The AN8L12 is a performance tuned Windows/MAC/Linux files sharing NAS server 4x Gigabit server for high capacity share data storage. Much more advanced than most 8-bay share + iSCSI towers on the market, the AN8L12 utilizes the power of Intel CPU and 8GB of DDR 4 memory, to provide exceptionally fast performance. With increased CPU processing power, the AN8L12 is capable of providing enterprise-level features such as iSCSI initiator and target support, snapshot with scheduling, and real-time folder-to-folder replication. Along with built-in RAID 5 and 6, the AN8L12 provides enterprise-class features that are normally not included in product of such price range.

Note: Sans Digital recommends the use of enterprise hard drives when in use with any RAID controller applications. Standard desktop or green desktop drive may not be supported and may compromise RAID system stability and performance. For more information on the difference between RAID and desktop hard drives, please see the Western Digital knowledge base. For a list of compatible RAID Edition SATA hard drives, please CLICK HERE.

Dual Gigabit and RAID Hard Drives Protection
AN8L12 is designed with simple setup and easy maintenance features in mind. Features such as installation wizard for easy implementation out of the box, convenient web-based management for local or remote configuration, 4x 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports supporting teaming and fail-over redundancy plus RAID protection for your data storage making the AN8L12 a very robust yet easy to use Windows/MAC/Linux file sharing server system.

Feature Rich Data Storage - Built-in Snapshot, Folder Replication and iSCSI
In comparison to other products in the market, AN8L12 is bundled with many enterprise level advanced features without  the additional cost. For example, iSCSI target support for iSCSI applications, iSCSI initiator support for future data storage expansion, folder to folder replication, scheduled or on-demand volume snapshot and local tape backup support just to name a few.

iSCSI Support for VMware 
To take advantage of centralized storage for all virtual machines in VMware ESX or Vsphere, the AN8L12 can be uses as a focal storage point for the VMWare ESX or ESXi sever hosting multiple virtual machines.  Utilizing the AN8L12 as an iSCSI target storage system for the VMware ESX/ESXi server, the AN8L12 is ready for your VMware storage virtualization needs.
