TerraMaster presents iSCSI Manager for virtualized computing

TerraMaster, a professional brand that specializes in providing innovative storage products for homes, businesses, and enterprises, announces the release of the TerraMaster iSCSI Manager, which allows for virtualized computing with TerraMaster NAS devices. The TerraMaster iSCSI Manager, a new feature of the TerraMaster TOS 5 operating system, allows the creation of multiple iSCSI targets and LUNs. You can meet your storage space requirements across a variety of virtualization environments by customizing the available capacity, permissions, and connections via a graphical interface.

The TerraMaster iSCSI Manager provides an excellent balance of performance and flexibility in LUN storage space configuration strategies. The ability to customize available capacity, permissions, and connections via a graphical interface assists managers in meeting storage space requirements across a variety of virtualization environments.

TerraMaster iSCSI Manager Features

1. Flexible management of iSCSI disks

Supports mounting multiple iSCSI LUNs from a single iSCSI target. The iSCSI disk mounted on an iSCSI target can be unmounted and remounted on another iSCSI target.

2. Custom ISCSI Target IQN

Using iSCSI Manager, you can create multiple iSCSI targets on the TNAS, each with a unique IQN for easy identification. To increase access security, you can enable authentication or mutual authentication for each iSCSI Target.

3. Customize network management policies

To improve network utilization efficiency, the iSCSI Target’s network can be separated from the networks of other services by designating a dedicated network interface and channel. To improve the iSCSI Target’s transfer efficiency, the maximum fragment size in terms of bytes transmitted and received can be limited.

4. Designed for virtual environments

VMware and Windows 2008 environments are supported. TerraMaster NAS solutions have low construction costs due to their high efficiency in virtual environments.

5. Multiple session connections

To adapt to a variety of complex virtualization application scenarios, the TerraMaster iSCSI Manager allows users to enable multiple session connections from one or more initiators for each iSCSI Target.

6. Balance performance and flexibility
7. Using the TerraMaster iSCSI Manager, multiple LUNs can be created and mounted to a specific iSCSI Target. It provides storage space utilization flexibility by providing Thick provisioning and Thin provisioning configuration strategies for LUN storage space.

8. Safer protection

Snapshot technology allows snapshots of LUNs to be taken to prevent data loss.

9. Access control

All connected initiators in iSCSI Manager have read and write permissions for LUNs by default. Managers can also tailor access permissions for each initiator to meet the organization’s specific requirements.

10. Low-capacity write protection

TerraMaster iSCSI Manager includes a low-capacity write protection function to safeguard LUNs.
