Long before the 3U rackmount N16000, Thecus was already the leader in household and SMB storage solutions, with products across the board that have consistently won awards for performance, quality, and stability. With an advanced UI, built generation by generation with steady improvements in functionality and ease of use, the natural next step was to go big.

“Thecus is getting into the enterprise NAS market in a big way,” said Florence, General Manager of Thecus Technology. “Our large enterprise NAS are on the cutting edge of storage technology and offer the power and advanced security features that Thecus customers have come to expect.”

The N16000 sticks with Thecus’s proud tradition of industry leading performance set by products such as the N4200 and the N7700PRO. Employing top-of-the-line hardware to bring unprecedented speed to support major data operations, whether it be huge database processing for your company or supporting hundreds of employees data needs. The N16000’s Intel® Xeon® X3480 Quad-Core processor clocked at 3.06GHz is one of the most impressive server processors on the market today, powering only the highest-end electronics. To utilize this advanced hardware to its full extent, we’ve implemented a 64-bit operating system to make sure you get all the power that this machine is capable of. It also supports the next generation of hard drives with 6G SATA/SAS technology, so the fastest disks will always be at your disposal. All of this performance is for dealing with up to 48 Terabytes of data capacity across 16 disks, more than enough for the demands of even the largest businesses.

"Storage companies are able to deliver new levels of intelligence and performance into NAS solutions with Intel Xeon X3480 processors," said David Tuhy, general manager, Intel Storage Group. "The energy efficient performance of the Intel processor provides key building blocks to deliver a solution that offers anytime, anywhere access to data.”

As an enterprise-class NAS, the N16000 needs to be on line and accessible at all times. High Availability (HA) is the most sophisticated system for keeping your data safe and within reach at all times. By running two parallel NAS, HA allows constant synchronization between the two. RAID can protect you from losing data, but HA protects you from even a momentary loss of access. The value of HA really becomes apparent when disaster strikes and one NAS experiences a problem; all traffic is channeled to the second NAS with no break in service or data loss whatsoever. From there it is a simple matter of hot-swapping out the damaged disks and letting your Thecus NAS automatically rebuild its RAID partitions; before you know it, you’re back under the protective wing of HA. The N16000’s advanced, yet incredibly simple, data protection system takes advantage of all the latest developments to keep your data on hand at all times. With this kind of power and safety, the N16000 looks to raise the bar and set a new industry standard for enterprise-class NAS.

Intel Xeon for Blazing Speed
Harnessing the power of Intel’s Xeon X3480 processor and an overwhelming 8GB of cutting-edge DDR3 RAM, the N16000 can handle anything and everything at full speed. There are no bottlenecks or speed bumps.

Enterprise Size for Enterprise Tasks
With a whopping 48 terabytes of data capacity, you’ll never go wanting again. No matter whether you are providing a public server for a massive workforce or compiling a company’s worth of HD video, your NAS will always be hungry for more.

SATA III and SAS 6G for Ultra-Fast Transfer Speeds
The N16000 features support for internal hard drives with SATA III and SAS 6G. This top-of-the-line connection transfers at speeds up to an amazing 6Gbit/s. It is also backwards-compatible with SATA II, so your old disks can be swapped in and out without a hitch.

High Availability (HA)
For the first time, your data is completely free of delays in access. Regardless of the situation, HA actively keeps your data on two separate, identical NAS. If one needs maintenance, the other will dutifully rise to the occasion without as much as a blip in service. Whether rain, shine, or Armageddon, your data will always be there.

Rock-Solid Security
The N16000 safeguards your data with all the RAID modes you could possibly need for an Enterprise server, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, and JBOD. Changing damaged hard disks is also a breeze with its built-in hot-swap, hot-spare, online RAID migration and expansion, as well as auto-rebuild capabilities. And if you need even more protection, there is also AES 256bit RAID volume encryption available.

10Gb Ethernet and Future Expansion
The future is right around the corner, and the N16000 is leading the way. With its furiously fast 8-lane PCI-e slots, the N16000 can accommodate a number of emerging technologies, including 10Gb Ethernet. The N16000 is ready for 10Gb Ethernet, and will be ready for whatever else comes next.
