    Thecus N2800 Receives Bang for the Buck Award by eTeknix UK 

    Powerful and speedy 2-bay NAS with USB 3.0 and HDMI output

     

    08/29/2012 – The Thecus® N2800 NAS is small yet powerful. The unit takes advantage of the latest Intel® Atom™ CPU with 2GB of DDR3 RAM to ensure fast response. Some elements to showcase include HDMI output for media playback, USB 3.0 and 2-bays for the ability to reach up to 8TB of storage capacity! eTeknix tests and reviews the nifty Thecus® N2800 and results shows success!

    Highlights

    - Local Display
    - LED status screen
    - HDMI and USB 3.0
    - File copy to NAS
    - HD playback & record

    Local Display

    With the release of the new ThecusOS 5.0, users have the ability to directly display their Thecus® N2800 to a HDTV. Local Display module simply eliminates the need to utilize a computer or notebook to manage data on a screen. Simply attach your Thecus® NAS to TV via HDMI, connect mouse and keyboard to NAS via USB and start navigating. In addition, users are even able to contact to their NAS via mobile device: Hippo Lite and Valence mobile

    LED status screen

    The N2800 has a front LED screen that provides easy monitoring; users are able to view NAS status with just a glance. It shows “activity LEDs for both drives, LAN and WAN connections, USB and the SD card reader.”

     

      HDMI and USB 3.0

     Innovative I/O such as HDMI and USB 3.0 enhances the user experience, even the small 2-bay N2800 includes these I/O. HDMI goes hand in hand with local display, in fact, users are able to display HD movies, listen to music, browse photos and even watch live TV (with a TV-Tuner) with third-party multimedia players.

     Superior file copy to NAS 

     Testing file copy to NAS is significant when comparing NAS results. For the Thecus® N2800, results are staggering. The little 2-bay N2800 pushes the limits when it comes to showing off transfer speeds, without signs of holding back.

     

      “Typically we find RAID0 to be the drive configuration that achieves the best result in this test scenario; however we are surprised to see JBOD pushing the performance for a 2 bay device at 130.3 MB/s.”

     HD playback & record

     HD playback and record is tested and benchmarked at 96.70MB/s under JBOD, results show that the N2800 delivers pure performance. 

     

      “The HD playback and record test now put the drive under the same single record and playback tests as before, but now at the same time. This will factor for the quick changes needed to switch between reading and writing two large blocks of data across the network to the device.”

     Conclusion

     The Thecus® N2800 is a simple entry NAS that doesn’t skimp on performance and features. Benchmark results show that transfers speeds topping over 130MB/s is noteworthy. As eteknix simply puts it, “Bottom line, the N2800 offers up a great range of features for the first time user in a simple, compact system that packs an impressive performance punch for a device of its size, and this has truly made it worthy of awarding it our bang for buck award.”

    Huge increase in ICO fines for data breaches 

    Data watchdog is turning up the heat with nearly £2m in fines over last year

    Data protection watchdog the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has revealed a sharp jump in the number of penalties handed out for breaches of the Data Protection Act.

    For the year up to June 30, the ICO issued 68 warnings of one form or another, up 48% from 46 the previous year, the figures revealed.

    The ICO has also increased the frequency and amount of fines it has handed out. During the specified time period it handed out 15 fines totalling £1.8m, well up on the six fines totalling £431,000 handed out the previous year.

    Over the last year the ICO has taken a much tougher approach to companies breaching the data protection act. In April 2012 it handed down the first financial penalty to an NHS organisation, fining the Aneurin Bevan Health Board (ABHB) £70,000 after a report containing sensitive information about a patient was sent to the wrong person.

    It also broke its own record for the largest fine handed out, penalising Midlothian Council a record £140,000 for repeated breaches of the data protection act. The breaches involved the disclosure sensitive personal data relating to children and their carers to the wrong recipients on five separate occasions.

    The ICO also fined Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust £375,000 after hard drives containing sensitive patient information were stolen and subsequently sold online. The Trust is appealing the decision and argues that it was the victim of a crime.

    In June this year Belfast Health and Social Care Trust was fined £225,000 for a serious breach of the data protection act and the subsequent failure to notify the authorities.

    John Thielens, Axway’s chief security officer, said the increase in action from the ICO is long overdue. “The ICO has finally started to step up to the mark and shown its teeth. After all, what’s the point of being given the power to make a difference for the better if you’re not going to use it?”

    Mark Dunleavy, Managing Director at Informatica, added that businesses need to ensure they have robust security procedures in place.

    “The ICO is turning up the heat against data breaches. With more warnings and fines issued for data security lapses than ever before, the writing is on the wall for businesses that are failing to keep their data under lock and key. Rather than relying on the ICO’s external deterrents, organisations can bypass this vulnerability altogether by implementing more sophisticated tools to take total control over their valuable data assets,” he said.

    “Technologies like data masking put the control back in the hands of businesses by allowing them to flexibly establish parameters that protect against data breaches in the first place,” Dunleavy added.

    The study into the figures was carried out by Syscap, provider of financial assistance to the education sector. CEO Philip White said: “It’s clear that the ICO is starting to take a much more proactive stance in penalising data lapses, so this is something that business owners need to take very seriously.”

    “Businesses need to make sure that the correct safeguards are in place in order to secure their data, or they could be at risk of hefty fines in the near future,” he added.

    Wave Systems EMBASSY Remote Administration Server- SC Magazine Review 

     

    Deploying full hardware-based encryption throughout the enterprise can be a tricky feat in many environments. This is where the EMBASSY Remote Administration Server, or ERAS, from Wave Systems shines the brightest. Administrators can use this product to quickly and easily manage many types of both hardware- and software-based encryption throughout the enterprise. The EMBASSY Remote Administration Server can directly interface with Opal-based self-encrypting drives and SafeNet ProtectDrive, as well as Microsoft BitLocker. This provides ultimate flexibility in encryption options both on the hardware front as well as software.

    This product came to us already installed on a test server, so we cannot comment much on installation itself, but we can say that the server must have a connection to the Windows domain controller and a Microsoft SQL Server backend. After installation, all administration was done through a Microsoft Management Console snap-in. We found this to be an easy and effortless way to administer the system, as it felt quite natural to system administrators when working in Active Directory. Since this product interfaced directly with Active Directory, there was no need to scan the network for machines as they were already there in the directory tree and configurations were passed on with just a simple click of the mouse.

    As for functionality, as we stated before, this product is pretty much focused on providing an easy way to deploy and manage hardware and software encryption across all of the endpoints in the environment. However, for those looking to step it up a bit, this tool can pair nicely with the Safend Data Protection Suite from Wave Systems. This suite adds a lot of functionality, including full security policy templates for International Bank Account Number (IBAN), payment card industry (PCI), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), among many others.

    Documentation included a full administrator guide for the EMBASSY Remote Administration Server. We found this to be well-organized. It also included a high amount of detail and clear configuration instructions and examples along with many screen shots and diagrams. We would have liked to have seen some installation documentation, but none was provided.

    Wave Systems offers customers a single level of 24/7 phone- and email-based technical support as part of an annual software maintenance agreement. Customers also have no-cost access to an online knowledge base, but that is really the extent of the web-based assistance.

    Over £300 reduction on the Thecus N12000 

    Origin Storage are now offering a massive £300.00 + saving on the Thecus N12000 12 Bay  Enterprise NAS Storage server , as well as offering this saving on the bare unit the discount also applies to the 12TB, 24TB & 36TB Vesrions, offering exceptional value for such a well rounded system,  which offers an Intel Xeon X3470 2.93GHz processor, 8GB DD3 SDRAM, iSCSI 3 support, up to 48TB of storage and a unprecedented  5 Year warranty

    As well as the massive savings Origin Storage is also offering a £50.00 Play.com voucher for every Thecus N12000 unit purchased.

    Want more Info…. see whay PC Pro had to say about the N12000

    As Thecus’s venture into the large enterprise NAS market continues, there is more and more evidence that they are doing it right. After other excellent reviews across the world, the N12000 received a recommendation from one of the well respected electronics publications PC PRO. Dave Mitchell tested the N12000 in his high-tech lab and got stellar results, earning the N12000 5 out of 6 stars and his seal of approval.

    Thecus’s support for SAS drives gives them a leg up: “Despite the proliferation of small business NAS appliances, only Thecus has made any effort to support SAS drives. It went on the offensive with the excellent N7700 and now ups the ante with its rack mount N12000 – the first in this sector to support the latest 6Gbits/sec SAS drives.”

    The hardware is sturdy and innovative: “The N12000 is a solidly built system, with a sturdy flip-down panel hiding the drive bays, the power and reset buttons, and an OLED display and control pad. It also hides two USB 2 ports, with four more at the back…The motherboard design has allowed Thecus to be imaginative with features. Rather than use a riser it has three low-profile PCI Express slots, with the first occupied by a dual-port USB 3 adapter. One of the motherboard’s SATA interfaces has been cabled out to the back using an eSATA header card.”

    A wide range of functionality is as vital as performance: “IP SAN features are good. Thecus supports thin provisioning, which lets you create high capacity virtual volumes that start small and have blocks dynamically allocated as they grow in size. Performance is excellent, with Iometer reporting a high raw read speed of 110MB/sec for a 50GB target.”

    Acronis’ supplies first-rate backup options to protect your data: “For backup, the price includes five copies of Acronis’ Backup and Recovery 10 for Windows Servers. Once you’ve created a vault on the appliance, backups of selected disks or volumes on the server can be run at daily, weekly and monthly intervals…Along with g ood data restoration features, Acronis provides plenty of disaster recovery tools. You can create a boot disk and enable the Startup Recovery Manager feature, which adds an option to the boot-up sequence allowing the server to run a recovery environment for bare metal restores.”

    Thecus is making big strides in the market: “By combining plenty of business related features with a decent server backup package, the N12000 moves Thecus into the big league for network storage. The 6Gbits/sec SAS drives deliver fine performance, it’s 10-Gigabit ready and it looks [like a] good value too.”
