D-Link has announced the release of a unified storage system which offers small and medium businesses a multitude of options for managing and securing data on their networks. The D-Link ShareCenter Pro DNS-1100-04 tackles the ever-increasing need for data consolidation and sharing.

The D-Link ShareCenterPro systems offer considerable benefits over convention NAS devices and help to eliminate the worry of over or under-buying storage capacity through the use of virtual disks. Additional benefits include support for virtualization, flexible storage allocation, extensive backup options, in addition to simplified provisioning and centralized management. Most importantly, ShareCenterPro systems can function as a NAS, while simultaneously acting as an external iSCSI storage device for application servers such as Exchange, SQL, and Apache.

Using an array of virtual disks, a master ShareCenterPro can connect to other iSCSI targets on the network which are then seen as multiple discreet volumes within the system. When storage is maxed out for a particular volume, administrators can simply add another ShareCenterPro to the network to augment the available free space.

ShareCenterPro systems are reinforced with dedicated hardware acceleration engines and high-performance core processors for heavy daily business applications. Backup time can be greatly reduced through a convenient Volume Snapshot feature which captures a disk image at a specific point in time, enabling immediate restoration whenever needed. Likewise, provisioning and management is straightforward, trivializing the often arduous process of transferring and replicating data.

As always, D-Link ShareCenterPro systems implement D-Link Green™ technology which assures significant energy savings over conventional NAS devices. Scheduled power on/off settings allow administrators to control when the device is active, and hard drive hibernation can be used to reduce power consumption when the NAS is not in use. Green Ethernet also optimizes power usage based on dynamic detection of cable length and link status. The D-Link ShareCenterPro DNS-1100-04 is a 4-bay unified storage enclosure that supports up to four standard 3.5” SATA hard drives.
