The newly listed EonNAS Pro 810 is the newest member of the Puan EonNAS Pro family, the hardware core is fully upgraded, the new Intel Atom processor is replaced, and 2 additional USB3.0 interfaces are added.

With system software based on the Open Solaris operating system and the ZFS archival system, EonNAS PRO 810 provides storage-pool disk Management, iSCSI block access, snapshots, remote replication, and other data protection features, in addition to basic shared file access, as well as compression, Multiple upgrade storage applications such as duplicate data deletion.

New generation Intel Atom processor platform

Since the end of 2011, Intel launched the new generation of Atom processor code-named Cedar Trail, the original to carry the previous generation of Atom platform (code-named Pine Trail) as the mainstream of entry-level Nas, then set off an update hardware core trend, have upgraded to Cedar The trail platform D2700 and D2500 series processors, and Puan is about to launch EonNAS Pro 810, which is one of them.

The previous Puan EonNAS Pro Series, with the exception of the core i3 processor in the top 850, the remaining entry-level models, such as 200, 500, and 800, are Intel Atom D525 processors with lower-end, but from the following 210, 510 and 810, Puan began to switch to the new Atom D2701 processor.

Compared with the Atom D525, the Atom D2700 series is also 1MB two cache, dual core and 4 threads architectures, but 32nm process, the frequency from 1.8GHz to 2.13GHz, and the use of a higher frequency to support 1066MHz DDR3 memory, And the power consumption is lower.

As far as our tests are concerned, the performance gap between the new and old platforms is not significant, with the Intel D2701 processor EonNAS Pro 810, which is slightly more iops than the previous generation's 800 models, and the rest of the performance is roughly similar.

Support for full enterprise storage application capabilities

Puan EonNAS Pro focuses more on enterprise-class storage applications than peer products, although no other product supports an array of multimedia or mobile device applications, but it provides a very complete enterprise storage application, especially from the underlying ZFS archive system, As a result, most desktop NAS do not have disk compression, data deduplication and read-write function.

One read-and-write is a new feature, when you create a shared folder, you can choose to enable a read-only feature for the data clip so that the file written to the folder will be read-only, not deleted or modified, and can be used to hold sensitive, unmodified enterprise data.

Environment under test:

Install 8 7200 Turn SATA drives. All hard drives are cut into 1 RAID 5 disk areas and are directly connected to the test platform via the GBE port.

Test Summary:

We tested the EonNAS PRO 810 transmission performance in iSCSI and CIFS two transmission modes, and against the performance of the EonNAS Pro 800. In the transmission rate, because the main bottleneck is in the transmission port bandwidth, so also with 2 groups of GBE port of the new and old two products, performance is roughly equivalent. In terms of IOPS, the new EonNAS Pro 810 has a high performance processor that can improve 10~15% around.
