• Unique Dual-DOM Design
  In business environment, maintaining functional operation on storage device is critical. With the unique Dual-DOM design, an extra DOM is installed to ensure continuous and flawless operation on N5500. Users do not need to worry about down-time due to unexpected system failure.
• Incredibly Easy To Use
  The N5500 features Thecus' next-generation web-based interface featuring AJAX technology, making it the easiest-to-use Thecus NAS ever.
• Three Units In One
  Flexibility is the name of the game. The N5500 is the only storage device that can be configured as a NAS, DAS, or iSCSI unit, making it a perfect fit for just about any configuration.
• Unrivaled Data Security
  The N5500 secures your data like never before. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD and multiple RAID volumes. What's more, the snapshot feature offers version control for even greater peace of mind by enabling you to easily restore previous snapshots.
• Flexible Storage Options
  Aside from supporting iSCSI initiators, the N5500 is also stackable, allowing you to control multiple N5500 units from one master system for added flexibility. In addition to this, you can choose from a selection of file systems, including EXT3, XFS and ZFS, which enables the N5500 to adapt to virtually any type of network.
• Total Network Performance and Reliability
  Because accessing your data is as important as securing it, the N5500 comes with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports with 802.3ad link aggregation for excellent data throughput. You can even select load balancing or failover, depending on your network configuration, to ensure maximum uptime and data availability.
