GNS-4001

The LevelOne GNS-4001 4-bay Network Storage 

is designed specifically for home offices, small 

businesses and workgroups. Never before has there 

been available a centralizing management of Network 

Attached Storage (NAS) system with a space-saving 

footprint and large capacity that gives user the 

benefits of a big-time data centre without big-time IT 

department needed. By utilizing iSCSI network storage 

server storage and supporting ISO file for a great deal 

to do monitoring of storage, backup, archiving, and 

file sharing. GNS-4001 is suitable for IP Surveillance 

that can easily be implemented as network storage or 

as a supplement to your primary backup and recovery 

device.

As the data value and volume of business data 

continue to rise, corporations need

high-performance storage solutions which are secure, 

reliable, and easy to manage. Our NAS provides both 

iSCSI service and network storage solutions which can 

be easily utilized in different business and enterprise 

applications such as backup center, disaster recovery, 

file sharing, virtualization and video editing storage.

The NAS offers the following comprehensive RAID 

(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) levels 

and fault-tolerant disk configurations: 0 “striping”, 

1 “mirroring”, 5 “parity”, 5+hot spare, 6 “double 

distributed parities”, 6+hot spare, 10 “RAID 1+RAID 0”, 

10+hot spare, single disk and Linear Disk Volume i.e., 

JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks). In addition, it supports 

Hot-swapping, SmartSync for data replication, RAID 

bad sector recovery, and Disk Server. All these features 

enhance maximum data protection against hardware 

failure.

Apart from the data sharing service provided by 

NAS, you can also set up a video surveillance system 

for your business via the built-in iSCSI functionality. 

Video surveillance is much cheaper and no longer 

complicated these days. Depending on your existing 

network topology, if you have network cameras 

and an IP CamSecure Server already placed, then all 

that is required is to configure an iSCSI target disk 

volume on the NAS for the video surveillance system 

and to install an iSCSI initiator on the IP CamSecure 

Server which will communicate with the iSCSI target 

automatically.
