Dependable Data Experience

Overview

Virtualization

The XN5100 series can deploy multiple virtual machines with high IOPS

and low latency. Even under plenty of real-time access, the virtual machine

servers will not slow down.

File Sharing

The XN5100 series is designed for seamless file sharing. Multiple protocol

support enables files to be accessed simultaneously across different

computing environemnts by multiple users anytime, anywhere.

Surveillance

High-definition cameras bring higher bandwidth requirements, increased

write speeds and storage capacity. The XN5100 series meets the

performance requirements of thousands of cameras.

Backup

To protect against data loss and downtime events, QSM provides

complete array-based backup functions including local backup and remote

replication.

Value-Optimized Unified Storage for SMB

XCubeNXT 5100 Series

Each controller has two host card slots that can be configured as iSCSI, Fibre Channel,

or a mix of both besides built-in 4-port 10 GbE iSCSI (SFP+). As a result, the series

offers great flexibility with built-in 8-port 10 GbE iSCSI (SFP+) and up to 26 host

ports in a dual-controller system. In addition, the XN5126 provides massive scale-up

capabilities by connecting XCubeDAS or 3rd-party expansion units with up to 546 disk

drives or 16.7 PB raw capacity for future data growth.

99.9999% high availability design with
no single point of failure

Cache-to-flash to protect cache data in
power outage

Non-disruptive firmware upgrade
ensures continuous data service with

zero downtime

Flexible Expansion

Dual controller with built-in 4-port 10
GbE (SFP+) and maximum 26 host ports

allows direct connection to multiple

hosts without switches

Outstanding scale-up capability up to
16.7 PB

Wake-on-SAS allows you to remotely
power on / off all cascaded XCubeDAS

expansion units for power saving
Proven Simplicity - "Set and Forget" Data Services
QSM, a storage management system with intuitive GUI designs, helps to save time in

storage deployment considerably. It also delivers unified storage features including

support for a range of multi protocols (CIFS, NFS, FTP
*, iSCSi, FCP*, etc.), complete
RAID level protection, RAID EE, thin provisioning, SSD cache, auto-tiering, compression,

inline deduplication, and more. With the help of an intuitive dashboard, managers can

monitor storage status in real time.

Built-in various backup methods such as snapshot, remote replication, rsync, cloud

backup
*, etc. to help you complete data backup and data integrity. In addition, a big
leap forward, it can replicate to all QSAN storage platform to thoroughly protect your

assets.

QSM continuously evolves our security level to protect data across storage and

adhere to industry best practices. Supporting SED (Self-Encrypting Drives)
coupled
with WORM*
will keep your sensitive data safe even if the drives are lost, stolen, or
misplaced. Additionally, Windows ACL (Access Control List) and RBAC (Role-Based

Access Control) helps to prevent unauthorized access to your data.

High Availability and Enterprise Reliability

With the exponential growth of data, simplified management and scalability have

become pivotal to modern IT. The XCubeNXT series provides a complete storage

solution that accelerates data transmission and simplifies the complex management

process from construction to maintenance. Enterprises can focus on value creation

instead of operation management.
