qNAS Tower Servers
Cross-platform, Multi-Terabyte NAS & iSCSI storage


qNAS Series 5 Data Storage Server

This deskside Tower server provides an entry point for customers looking for fully featured but lower capacity storage.

These systems do not have the Redundant power supplies of the larger systems but you do get all the software features and hardware RAID is a smaller and quieter system.

All qNAS systems use Open-E software. Open-e DSS V6 provides superior performance, security, and scalability at a fraction of the cost of alternative storage offerings. Advanced features include Data and Volume Replication, Volume Snapshot, Automatic Failover for iSCSI Volumes, WORM and NDMP. The versatility of DSS V6 also allows users to combine NAS systems with iSCSI SAN systems.

Single Intel Xeon E5520 Quad-Core CPU (2.66GHz)
3GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
