· Wireless connectivity - frees people to work where they want · Compact design - save space without losing performance or scalability · Modular design - expand your network as needs change · Cutting-edge IDE RAID technology - for reliable data security and excellent performance · Easy to manage - state-of-the-art management tools, including proactive web-based monitoring |
|
This option is ideal for small file/print server systems in SOHO environments that don't yet have a LAN, or for large systems in public spaces such as corporate meeting rooms, hotels, and airports, where access to the Internet is available. |
|
A wireless LAN system can be built simply by inserting an optional wireless LAN card. The initial cost is thus reduced, since there is no need to purchase a separate access point. |

Customers are looking to save space because space is money. With the Magnia Z300 the compact size makes this possible. Whether customers choose the micro tower or high-density server in a rack, the Magnia Z300 combines performance and scalability in a form factor that will accommodate any budget. Servers are not really seen. They are expected to be working all the time behind the scenes to maintain a company's productivity. You can be sure that the Magnia Z300 will maintain productivity and be hard to spot due to its size. |
|
The Magnia Z300 concept is made up of 3 units: The system unit (which can work independently from the other two units), the external hard disk unit, and the external IO back-up device bay unit. |
|
Up to two external hard disk units and up to two IO back-up device bay units can be attached directly to the system unit. |
|
This kind of modular concept allows a customer to spend money when necessary. The customer still has the flexibility to expand their network when more HDDs or back-up devices are needed, but has more control over when the money is spent. |
|
Due to the space-saving concept of the Magnia Z300, it was important to integrate RAID functionality into the base unit. |
|
We believe that IDE will play an important role in the entry/workgroup market segments in future. This is demonstrated by the fact that IDE hard disks are growing fast in capacity and provide hot-swap capability (SCSI-like capability) at a reasonable price. The price/performance relationship is also good. IDE in a RAID 0.1 configuration provides the performance that customers are looking for without the high price tag that comes with SCSI. As customers separate the OS from other applications used, the 2 internal hot-swap IDE drives provide the necessary performance while giving the customer the option of using an external hard disk unit with SCSI for the performance that they expect. Toshiba is promoting new technologies in the server segment that reflect customers' needs for exceptional performance with a price tag that won't make a huge dent in their budgets. |

It is not mandatory. A setting for using the wireless access point function without MAC address registration is available. The wireless access point provides a filtering function that rejects access by any unregistered client whose MAC address is not registered. For security reasons, use of this filtering function is recommended. |
|
In both wired and wireless environments, the issue of security/people hacking into the network needs to be considered. With wireless LAN technology, the first step is 64-bit/128-bit encryption to provide the initial level of security. Generally, a WEP key that encodes the wireless data and MAC address filtering that restricts client access are used to provide security. VPN solutions are recommended for additional security. |
|
The Magnia Z300 automatically collects the MAC addresses whose access to the access point is rejected. The MAC address can be registered by selecting the client from the list of collected MAC addresses. |
|
Up to 4,096. |

The Magnia Z300 comes with HarnessEye/Web. This is a management tool developed by Toshiba. |
|
· Multi-platform management: Both Windows and Linux machines can be monitored with the same software. · Multi-server integrated management: Multiple servers and PCs can be monitored simultaneously. · Web-based monitoring from the remote management console. |
|
Status view and failure notification are available even when the OS is not running due to system lock or crash. · Hardware status view --- acquired sensor information - System unit: temperature in chassis, voltage of power supply, fan rotation, CPU temperature, CPU voltage - External hard drive/device bay unit: voltage, fan rotation · Failure notification - failure detected by BMC (in addition to the sensor information above) - CPU not detected, POST error, OS boot failure, OS down |
|
Yes |
|
Yes. The failure is notified to the remote console, and the dump can be generated remotely. |
|
HarnessEye/Web notifies the system administrator proactively of hardware failures directly to a management console, as well as by e-mail to a mobile phone or e-mail account. HarnessEye/web is comparable with other management tools on the market in terms of functionality and performance. Toshiba will release snap-ins for other industry standard management software. |
|
The following HDDs are supported: · IDE HDD: 20 GB to 76 GB · SCSI HDD: 18 GB to 73 GB |
|
The system unit supports IDE RAID (RAID 0.1) as standard and HDD hot-swap. The external hard drive unit supports SCSI RAID and up to 8 hard disk drives. |
|
The chassis and the motherboard are designed by Toshiba. |
|
The Magnia Z300 has the following reliability features to support its server role: · Multiple processors (max. 2 CPU) · ECC memory (max. 3 GB) · IDE RAID controller as standard · Hot-swap HDD (max 2 x 76 GB) · 64-bit PCI · Out-of-band server monitoring as standard · External hard drive unit provides HDD hot-spare as well. · Supports Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, Redhat Linux 7.x |
|
Usage as an NT workstation is not being considered at the moment. It will be considered in accordance with market requirements. |
|
Up to 4 (system units, external hard drive units and external device bay units can be mixed.) |
|
2 units (system units, external hard drive units or external device bay units) can be installed in the 2U-height 19-inch rack. The maximum installable number of units depends on the specification of the rack. Toshiba is investigating the installation of more units in the 2U space. |
|
The HDDs are hot-swappable and can be easily changed from the front. When installing memory or a CPU, just remove the top cover and power supply unit inside. |
|
The fan and power supply are not redundant. According to the failure statistics gathered by Toshiba, the failure rate of fans and power supplies is very low. Therefore the Magnia Z300 does not support fan and power supply redundancy. |
|
The following OSs are supported: · Windows 2000 Server · Windows 2000 Advanced Server · Windows NT Server · Redhat Linux 7.0, Turbo Linux 6.1 |
|
The standard warranty is 3 years on-site. Warranty extensions are available. |
