Seamlessly share large files from multiple location within the network

With TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series, you can share large files within the network with cross-platform support for versatility and access restrictions for security.

Functions for more efficient use of hard disk capacity

1. Storage Pools

This allows a system administrator to group multiple physical disks together and manage them as a single disk, without the constraints of the physical hard disks' capacity or configuration.
For example, a virtual disk can be created from a combination of TeraStation™ drives and an external hard disk connected to the USB port, enabling the user to freely configure unallocated storage capacity on the combined physical hard disks, without regard to the remaining disk space on any individual physical hard disk. This also allows replacement or addition of physical hard disks as needed.

2. Thin Provisioning

Disk virtualization allows the user to create a virtual disk with greater capacity than the actual disk size. This function allows the user to allocate the virtual disk size in line with expected future capacity and add only the required hard drives as they are required, thus holding down the costs of initial investment while maintaining high disk utilization.

Expand your existing server's storage capacity with iSCSI

The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series can be used as an iSCSI storage array, allowing you to expand the storage space of your existing server. Since this can be done through the LAN network, installation location can be flexible.

Increase storage capacity for virtual server environment with iSCSI

The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series can be used as additional storage for virtual server environment.
By mirroring two TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series, system with greater redundancy can be created.

HDD replaceable with optional hard drive cartridge

The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series uses cartridge type tray for easier HDD replacement. HDD can be quickly replaced by lifting the lever and sliding the cartridge out from the slot. No need to remove screws.
OP-HDS, an optional hard drive cartridge for TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series can be used for replacement.

Efficient account administration with Active Directory support

The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series uses the account information registered in the Active Directory server to control access to files and folders stored on the unit. This means that it requires no separate account management. In addition, the server can accommodate an unlimited number of registered users and groups, so it can be used even in large-scale environments. Active Directory centralizes management of account information, which vastly reduces the work of setup and administration, even with systems using multiple units.

Group administration function provides flexibility and rigorous security

Read-only and read-write attributes can be set for the individual folders and files residing on the unit. You can also restrict access to shared folders for groups and users individually for secure, efficient data management.

Quota function allows setting of users' available capacity

File server resource managers can set and manage the amount of storage capacity, in folder and volumes.
Managers can also set NTFS quotas*, providing users and groups the appropriate amount of disk space while preventing any one user or group from making excessive use of the hard drive.

*Volume must be formatted for NTFS

Frees up wasted disk space by deleting duplicate files

Function: Data Deduplication — Single Instance Storage (SIS)

These TeraStation™ models include a "data deduplication" function that eliminates wasted disk storage capacity. The function saves disk capacity by detecting duplicate copies of data files in different folders and automatically deleting blocks containing the same data found in other blocks.

*Supported for Standard Edition only

Increase security by restricting the types of files that can be saved

Function: File Screening

The TeraStation™ WSS 5000 Series also features a "file screening" function. This function allows administrators to predetermine the file types, extensions, and other information for files that may be saved to the TeraStation™ or specified folders, and prevents files that don't meet these criteria from being saved. Files can be sorted by file type, making it easier to search files and manage servers.

Prevent data from being leaked, even if the TeraStation™ is stolen

Function: Disk Encryption (BitLocker)

Using the TeraStation™ WSS 5000 Series encryption settings allows you to encrypt data automatically as it is written to the drive. This means that even if the hard disk is removed and taken away, the data cannot be read with another computer or TeraStation. In addition, you can assign passwords to shared folders with files residing on the TeraStation so that only users with the password can access the files.
* When the encryption settings are used, files are encrypted and cannot be read on other devices. However, files that are not assigned passwords can be read on the encrypted TeraStation without a password.

Operations continue even if PCs and mobile devices are disconnected from the network

Function: Offline Files

The TeraStation™ WSS 5000 Series supports the "Offline Files" function provided with Windows 8/7/Vista/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2012/2008/2003. This function enables folders and files to be accessed, even when the NAS is not connected to the network (offline; updated files are synchronized between the computer and TeraStation™ upon reconnection to the network)

Two different network segments can be connected using two LAN ports

The TeraStation™WS5000R2 Series is equipped with two LAN ports, enabling access from each segment to be managed separately. Unrelated divisions are prevented from connecting to each other's networks, while being allowed to access the data stored on their own folders in the TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series.

No need to purchase individual Client Access License (CAL)

Regular Windows® Server OS requires Client Access License (CAL) in each clients in order to access the server OS. With the Windows® Storage Server 2012 R2, which is installed in this TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series,there is no need to purchace individual CAL to access the server OS. This helps reduce the initial cost of installing a server in your office.

DFS replication allows you to save data to a remote location via the network

The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series supports "DFS Replication", which allows you to back up files to a TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series in a different location via the network. Backing up data to a remote location via the Internet protects your data, even when there is a breakdown locally. Even if a natural disaster or other such major problem occurs at the head office, the backup data in the remote locations allow to recover data.

*Difficulties in backing up may occur in some network environments. We recommend that the system be evaluated and verified in advance.
*Use of this function requires Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 R2 or later. In addition, the two TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series units must be located in the same forest.

Multiple backup options available

- Replication
Replicates data between two TeraStations. In the event of a TeraStation failure, simply unplug the Ethernet cable from the malfunctioning TeraStation and plug into the backup TeraStation for service restoration.

*Supported after firmware update

- Scheduled backup
Scheduled backup can be set at a specific date and/or time.

*Supported after firmware update

- Many-to-one TeraStation Backup
Backup all shared folders in multiple TeraStations on a single TeraStation

*Supported after firmware update

Added data protection with RAID 5,1,and 0 support

There are two internal HDDs equipped in the unit and features "RAID", a technology that can recognize and show multiple hard drives like a single drive and which allows the storage to be configured in accordance with the user's needs. Using RAID 1 mode, for example, if one internal drive fails, you can recover the content, There are two internal HDDs equipped in the unit and features "RAID", a technology that can recognize and Normal mode, in which the two drives are used as independent drives.

Joining Active Directory makes administration more efficient

Copies of the shared folder can be created automatically according to administrator-specified schedules. If a user accidentally deletes afile,the user himself can use Explorer or a major Microsoft Office application* to directly restore the deleted file to when last saved.

*User of Shared Folder Shadow Copy requlres th cllent computer to be running Windows XP SP2
or later.
