Promise Technology VessRAID 1840i+ VR1840I+EHE Leaflet

VessRAID 1000i series provides iSCSI and NAS¹ combined features which enables users to 

do file and block-based data transaction on the network.  iSCSI allows SCSI protocol to 

operate over TCP/IP and it’s getting popular in various IP-based applications as you can 

leverage existing network infrastructure to achieve SAN connectivity.  NAS devices are easy 

to deploy and ideal for file sharing over the network.  Files on NAS are transparent to users 

and applications, and its access convenience greatly reduces users’ learning curve on how 

to download and upload data to the storage.  With iSCSI and NAS support, VessRAID leads 

user to explore broader storage applications and possibilities. 

Network Video Recorder (NVR) is an IP-based digital video recording system designed to 

operate  24/7,  365  days  a  year  with  non-stop  A/V  recording.  This  application  demands 

reliable,  scalable,  and  consolidated  storage  with  simplified  management  capability.    In 

a latest upgrade of NAS support, VessRAID 1000i series now offers a wide interoperable 

and  flexible  solution  to  ease  the  archiving  complexity  among  heterogeneous  recording 

platforms in a networked surveillance environment.  With the upgrade users have more 

options to manage their storage provided by the VessRAID iSCSI system.  The integration 

and management becomes less of an issue and you get the benefits of a either SAN or NAS
