Tandberg Storagecab 4000 1.6 TB

Tandberg Storagecab 4000 1.6 TB ... need to share files in heterogeneous environments. The StorageCab 4000 Series delivers high-capacity, easy to use enterprise-level features and high data density in a compact form factor.

The new Tandberg StorageCab solutions are developed and designed to be used as a central mass storage system in small and medium sized network environments. StorageCab solutions are integrated as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system into the topology of an existing network.

Two 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet-interfaces are available for the network. The system utilizes the TCP/IP-protocol and can be easily integrated into Windows-, or Unix/Linux based platforms. The Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) support enables connectivity to IP targets and IP SANs.

The StorageCab 4000 solution contains up to four hot swappable serial ATA hard disks. This rackmountable units in just 1U with the robust mechanical design and the high-quality components contribute to the operating reliability as well as the monitoring of the individual components and the internal operating temperature.

Using the VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Services) feature of Shared Folders, deleted or corrupted files can be restored within minutes, instead of the hours it can take to restore from tape. Built on VSS, this feature can store up to 64 point-in-time copies per volume and allows end users to recover previous versions of files.

StorageCab4000 can be also used as a Network Backup Appliance (NBA) using optional Veritas Backup software with the internal HDD. Data contents on other servers or other StorageCab4000S can be backed up to the HDD volume of the NBA for faster backup. Dual onboard NICS can be used to streamline network traffic for I/O requests by both clients or backup.

With the optional SCSI controller (StorageCab 4000S) a tape drive, autoloader or library can be directly connected to the NBA to enable migration of the disk based backup volume to tape for offsite storage or vaulting without negatively affecting file serving operations. Tandberg's line of tape backup solutions provides a single point of contact for technical support of StorageCab hardware and software and tape components.
