1. Advanced Module Management
Extend the functionality of the N4100+ with a variety of homebrew applications. The N4100+ supports third-party modules with just a few mouse clicks – a unique feature only from Thecus.
2. Save Power and Lower Costs The N4100+ comes with highly configurable power options, allowing you to schedule on/off times, and even schedule your hard disks to spin down for lower total cost of ownership.
3. Stream Your Media Why confine your media to one PC? Let it out with the 4100+’s DLNA-certified media server. Connect easily to DLNA certified digital media adapters and devices for easy network media streaming. And with its built-in iTunes® Server, you can enjoy your favorite music from any iTunes-compatible device on your network.
4. Manage Your Downloads Optimize your bandwidth usage with the N4100+’s Download Scheduler. Finish BT, HTTP, or FTP downloads during off-peak hours for full access to your bandwidth at times when you need it most. What’s more, you no longer have to leave your PC on, which means even greater cost savings.
5. Work Wirelessly With its built-in USB ports, the N4100+ can support USB wireless dongles for easy wireless access to your data. USB printers and USB storage devices are supported as well for unmatched flexibility.
6. "Blurb" from www.thecus.com -
"The N4100+ is powered by a 600MHz Intel® 80219 CPU for exceptional data-processing capabilities. Its four hard drive bays accommodate four 3.5” SATA hard disks for up to 4TB of storage. RAID modes including RAID 0, 1, 5, and JBOD allows N4100+ users to select the level of data protection they want while optimizing performance. RAID management features such as auto rebuild, hot swap, and hot spare ensure minimal downtime, while two Gigabit Ethernet ports ensure that users can get at their data quickly.
Small-to-medium businesses will love the N4100+. In addition to its RAID capabilities, the N4100+ also allows users to remotely access their files via FTP or its web-based interface. Multiple OS support makes it easy to integrate the N4100+ into virtually any network, and a 30% power savings mean a lower total cost of ownership when compared to a full PC. To ensure proper data backup, the N4100+ comes not only with the Thecus Backup Utility, but also Nsync, an application that enables users to have the N4100 automatically upload files to an external storage device at a designated time. Designed for SMBs to enhance data security, Nsync takes the guesswork out of data backup.
Users at home will also find the N4100+ extremely handy. The N4100+ comes with Mediabolic Media Server, which will allow N4100+ work with DLNA Certified media players. Its built-in iTunes® Server allows users to stream their entire music libraries throughout their homes, while the Download Manager enables BT, HTTP, and FTP downloading during off-peak hours – all without a PC! The Print Server shares a single printer with every PC on the network, and third-party module support lets users extend the functionality of their N4100+ even further."
