Sept. 26, 2007 - PRLog -- Taipei, Taiwan, QNAP All-in-one NAS now offers a different choice of reliable network storage, data protection, as well as genuine hassle-free web server setup.

The leading network-attached storage (NAS) provider QNAP Systems, Inc. today announced the built-in phpMyAdmin and MySQL / SQLite support for the Web Server function of All-in-one NAS series. Especially designed for web enthusiasts, workshop, and small business users, QNAP supports preinstalled phpMyAdmin database management tool to simplify web server setup and installation to a large extent. This new feature provides users with highly convenient and flexible server setup, and also enables those who are not familiar with Linux environment to establish their own web server at great ease. QNAP TS-109 and TS-209 series adopt embedded high performance 500MHz CPU and 128MB DDRII memory. They are the 12-in-1 multi-functional NASes for highly reliable network storage and data backup and also a new choice to host web servers.

The featured built-in PHP web server (version 5.2), MySQL (version 5.0) and SQLite dual database, editable php.ini, and multiple DDNS support of the QNAP NAS series provide an easy-to-manage and high performance web server platform for home and SMB users. According to the CEO of QNAP, Mr. Meiji CHANG, "The embedded systems are power-saving and compact. Their computing power has also been enhanced increasingly. We believe it is going to be a new trend that more and more users will use embedded systems to host their web server, and this will replace part of the usage of PC servers." Many outstanding applications are available in the open source communities of Linux. These applications can be used to create blogs, forums, on-line shops, etc. More importantly, they are developed by PHP and MySQL or SQLite, free to download, and the web-based interface is very simple to use. However, installing these applications on Linux OS can be too complicated for beginners. "We hope that every user can enjoy these powerful applications and establish their web servers easily. Therefore, QNAP announced this enhancement for All-in-one NAS series. We’re very glad that our TS-109 and TS-209 series are able to satisfy their needs", said Mr. CHANG.
