QNAP Security today announced its digital network surveillance (NDVR) server VioGate-340 is adopted by the Chinese Culture University (CCU), Taiwan to set up a large-scale emergency alarm system. In an area of nearly 111 hectares, 55 surveillance servers and 42 emergency alarms are installed to enhance the campus security. The VioGate-340 NDVR supports GPIO devices and the emergency alarms are connected to the servers. When an accident occurs, the victim can press the emergency buttons which will beep and glow in red instantly. The server will be triggered to send voice and SMS text messages to alert the security guard and the campus security centre. At the same time, the monitoring screen of the server displays an electronic map and switches to show the camera image of the location where the accident takes place for the system administrator to watch the accident spot closely. The exclusive management software VioGate Master is provided for collective monitoring of the surveillance cameras in the campus. The system administrator can select to view any camera channel connected to any VioGate server from anywhere on the web-based GUI. The electronic map (Emap) provides the best graphical management of the monitoring locations and the alarms. By uploading the Emap, the administrator can easily indicate the location of the cameras and the emergency buttons. When an alarm device is triggered, the camera channel where the event occurs pops up on the monitoring interface to display the real-time image and alert the security guard instantly. "QNAP's NDVR surveillance system plays an important role in safeguarding the facilities, students and staff in the CCU campus from libraries, dormitories, faculties, halls, and sports complexes etc. The entire system runs 24x7 and supports instant alert to the system in 2 seconds and sending SMS text messages in 7 seconds, allowing the security guard to respond to any accidents in the campus in time", said Peace Kuo, Senior Product Manager from QNAP Security. The digital network surveillance (NDVR) and network surveillance (NVR) solutions from QNAP are highly scalable surveillance systems that enable flexible integration of the analog-based and IP-based cameras. They support the widest range of the network cameras from Axis, Panasonic, Canon, Sony, Sanyo, D-Link, Arecont, Mobotix, IQeye, GANZ, Vivotek, ACTi, Toshiba and LevelOne etc. and are compatible with GPI devices for event handling. The Linux OS is embedded on the surveillance system which guarantees lower chances of virus attack or hacking compared to PC-based solution. The recording data can be saved on the built-in hard drives or to a remote storage location (e.g. QNAP NAS). For further information of QNAP NDVR and NVR solutions, please visit www.qnapsecurity.com.

QNAP Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce our TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS wins the 'Editor's Choice' from techPowerUp.com and 'Golden Tachometer Award' from Benchmark Reviews for its high performance, excellent hardware design and rich features. The TS-509 Pro is designed for small business to enterprise users who require performance, features, capacity, and manageability. In the ATTO benchmark test run by techPowerUp, the TS-509 Pro showed an impressive result and the author quoted 'it seems the TS-509 Pro can burst smaller amounts of data extremely fast. Smaller is relative here though, 350MB files fly. When transferring DVD images speed settles at around 60MB/s. Still a lot better than most of the competition.' The test results from Benchmark Reviews showed that the TS-509 Pro delivered the best read and write performance in both single disk and RAID 5 configurations. 'It handily outperformed the closest competition we compared it against in our benchmark tests. With tremendous read-from bandwidth peaking around 64.0 MiB/s (mebibit per second; 100 MiB / Mebibyte = 104,857,600 bytes) for a 1 Gibibyte file (1 GiB / Gibibyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes), and actually improving to 68.3 MiB/s in write-to performance, the Turbo Station proved itself to be a real top-performer', commented the editor. The hardware design and the software features of the TS-509 Pro are highly appreciated in both reviews. According to techPowerUp, 'the TS-509 uses far more powerful hardware which improves performance over the previous generation a lot' and 'the firmware has already proven to be full featured, solid, and easy to use.' Powered by Intel Celeron 1.6GHz CPU and 1GB DDRII memory, the 5-bay hot-swappable TS-509 Pro provides unique DOM architecture with embedded fail-safe dual OS. The Linux OS and applications of the NAS are embedded in the flash DOM that higher stability is guaranteed. The two Gigabit LAN ports can be configured as Failover, Load balancing, or serving two different subnets.

Supports AES 256-bit volume-based encryption, built-in iSCSI target service and more QNAP Systems, Inc. today unveils the new firmware version 2.1.0 for the high performance TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS to support iSCSI target service and a number of security solutions, e.g. AES 256-bit volume-based encryption, automatic policy-based IP blocking, instant SMS alert, and the powerful Surveillance Station for live video monitoring and recording of up to 4 network cameras. The new firmware of the TS-509 Pro has brought a number of benefits to the business users, specifically cost-effective and flexible storage expansion as well as secure data protection. The built-in iSCSI target service with Thin Provisioning on the NAS enables the server administrator to create up to 8 iSCSI devices for expanding the storage capacity of the existing application servers on the network, e.g. database server, mail server, or configuring the NAS as the backup destination of these servers. To meet the demand for high security data protection of the business users, the TS-509 Pro now supports AES 256-bit volume-based encryption. The encrypted disk volumes of the NAS must be unlocked by the encryption password to be accessed, which eliminates the fear of confidential data leakage if the hard drives or the NAS were stolen. "The high performance and rich features of the TS-509 Pro are widely recognized and awarded by the worldwide media. By upgrading the NAS to version 2.1.0, the administrator can make use of the Thin Provisioning feature of the iSCSI target service for flexible allocation of the storage space to the application servers regardless of the actual storage capacity of the NAS. When more storage space is required in the future, the administrator can increase the storage capacity of the NAS by Online RAID Capacity Expansion or re-allocate the disk space assigned to the application servers. The TS-509 Pro is an ideal cost-efficient IP-SAN (Storage Area Network) solution for the business users," said James Wu, Product Manager from QNAP. New features supported by the TS-509 Pro firmware version 2.1.0: - AES 256-bit volume-based encryption to enhance secure data protection - Up to 8 built-in iSCSI targets with Thin Provisioning feature for flexible storage expansion or backup destination of the application servers on the network. - Automatic policy-based IP blocking to prevent unwanted intrusion or hacking - Instant SMS/ email alert upon system errors or warning - Surveillance Station, monitoring and recording from up to 4 network cameras - Volume status report - Advanced FTP write-only access - SSL secure certificate - Syslog server - USB UPS function upgrade For the firmware download and further information, please visit http://www.qnap.com/download.asp.
