Solution
After discovering QuTScloud , ITOne started running a QuTScloud instance in VMware vSphere and used passthrough to an SAS controller that provides thirteen physical drives (configured by SSD, SAS and SATA drives) dedicated to QuTScloud. ITOne tested this appliance with QuTScloud for data sharing using CIFS and at datastores in vSphere through NFS/iSCSI.
Result
As soon as ITOne started managing company data on a VM with QuTScloud, they found that it was very easy to manage, and the performance was incredible – reaching 150-200 Mbps to an NFS datastore in their lab environment. They used passthrough to manage an external SAS enclosure and everything also worked well. QuTScloud also surprised them as the user experience is near-identical to QNAP's QTS NAS operating system, and the feature-rich QTS apps they are familiar with were also available. ITOne is convinced that QuTScloud has big potential for providing customers with efficiency improvements considering its performance, easy management and affordable licensing.
