[chobahan]

Hello Guys,

just search a interesting thing from Thecus.
They are selling their new products with dual dom.
What and Why is this for?

dose it mean less of quality or better protection?
any common?

cause, there are already many 5bay NAS player. and Thecus is the 1st one release N5200 2 years ago. Is this new feature really something?

I sent email to [email protected], they said this is for better data protection.

If this machine can make my data double protection, then I will get one at my office.
But I am also concerning how is the reliability.

Dual DOM Supports for Dual Protection
The most advance and useful of N5500 is Dual DOM implemented. In the normal circumstance, it has no need to have this feature involved. But with irresistible cause like power cut or human error by accident occurred especially during system booting stage, this will become the great feature to prevent system down time.
Practically while it happened, system will try to recovery the DOM 1 from DOM 2 first. If it is unachievable then system can boot from DOM 2. And all of this procedure can be operated by LCM. NOTE The Dual DOM in DOM1 is default master and FW upgrading will only execute in DOM1 unlike DOM2 is ‘Read only” initially. Any circumstance occurred, while DOM2 successes recover DOM1. The FW will be version of DOM2. Therefore, it may need to upgrade to the version of DOM1 it has. If DOM1 can not be recovery from DOM2, then system will boot up from DOM2. The original configuration in DOM1 may need to setup again with DOM2 operation. 117
