Lenovo N4610 Product Manual page 3

The N4610 that is running Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 includes the following features and benefits:
An affordable and reliable unified network-attached and block-level storage solution with the
following features:
Reliable storage servers that are built on the proven Lenovo ThinkServer hardware platform.
Drive trays that are common with ThinkServer servers.
A common set of ThinkServer memory, storage, and network connectivity options.
Advanced hardware-based RAID configurations for protecting critical data.
A dedicated and optimized file and print server. Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 has all function
unrelated to file serving removed (while keeping essential infrastructure services for easier
deployments), which helps increase reliability and lower the overhead on the server's processor.
Flexible installation and deployment:
Flexible configuration options enable customers to finely tune their storage server hardware to
meet cost and performance needs.
The storage servers can be configured remotely via Windows Server Manager, which makes
them ideal for branch office, department, and store deployments.
Easy integration into your existing IT infrastructures:
Integrates easily into Active Directory environments.
You can use your existing backup tools and antivirus software on Windows Storage Server to
protect your investments.
Files can be shared across heterogeneous file system environments and different operating
system platforms through the integration of SMB and NFS protocols.
Compatible with existing Ethernet infrastructure.
Easy to use and manage:
Factory-integrated, pre-configured, and delivered to the clients with Microsoft Windows
Storage Server 2012 R2 preinstalled.
All storage tools are integrated into a single interface of Windows Server Manager.
Centralized administration and unified user experience in managing stand-alone storage
servers.
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO):
Lenovo storage servers are a cost-effective storage consolidation solution in a network
environment and enable centralization of storage and storage management.
No extra licenses are required for users, which can help to significantly reduce Client Access
License costs.
Fast data recovery:
Built-in data "Snapshot" technology. Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) provides enhanced
data protection through high-fidelity backups, rapid data restores, and data transport.
By using the VSS for Server Message Block (SMB) File Shares feature, deleted or corrupted
files can be restored within minutes, instead of hours.
