Product description
The DNS-1200 ShareCenter Pro 1200 is part of D-Link Green, D-Link's program for providing eco-friendly alternatives without compromising performance: if the hard drives are not used in a configurable period of time, or data is not being transmitted, the ShareCenter Pro1200 will enter stand-by mode to save power. The silent fan will adapt its speed depending on the hard drives temperature. Additionally, the scheduled on/off function allows the device to be automatically switched off when it is not in use.
Product features
- File sharing
The D-Link ShareCenter Pro 1200 integrates a NAS file server which takes full advantage of the accelerated performance provided by iSCSI. Files can be shared across the network or over the Internet via FTP or an intuitive web file manager, to users with the appropriate credentials. - iSCSI for IP networks
iSCSI offers exceptionally fast access performance thanks to block-level data transfer. iSCSI targets appear as a local drive on a client PC. Operations such as configuration, provisioning, and backup can be handled by the administrator in the same way they would be for directly attached storage. The cost/GB of storage is significantly reduced by utilizing existing Ethernet technology, with no need for separate host bus adapters. - Multiple backup options
The D-Link ShareCenter Pro 1200 offers several backup options which allow administrators and users to control how, when, and where their data is stored. Remote backup will copy your files to a remote NAS over the Internet for extra data protection, and volume snapshots can backup a whole volume in a few minutes in contrast with traditional backup schemes that can take hours. - Advanced security
Account management features include the ability to manage users/groups and read/write permissions. Create users, groups, and iSCSI targets with password authentication. Additionally, VLAN tag support combined with AES encryption keeps files secure. iSCSI implements a Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) to guarantee secure access to the storage system. - RAID for performance and redundancy
The D-Link ShareCenter Pro 1200 features 5 Serial ATA (SATA) disk drive bays supporting large hard drives. Admins can quickly deploy a network storage solution using inexpensive SATA disk drives, and depending on storage needs, can add more drives as they go. Additionally, S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) disk diagnostics help to ensure data integrity. - Green features save energy
The D-Link ShareCenter Pro 1200 provides eco-friendly alternatives without compromising performance: if the hard drives remain inactive over a consideration period of time, the D-Link ShareCenter Pro 1200 will enter stand-by mode therefore providing significant energy-savings by reducing power or cutting power to unused ports. Additionally, the low noise fan will adapt its speed depending on the hard drives temperature and the scheduled on/off function allows the device to be automatically switched off when it is not in use.
