Redundant power supplies deliver high reliability, and NETGEAR’s RAIDiator operating system ensures stability. Integrated data protection and offsite replication features make managing complex business storage environments affordable.

• The ideal platform for first-time server virtualization projects
• Highly affordable and reliable 1U 4-bay rack-mountable unified network storage with redundant power supplies

• Cross-platform support for Windows®, Macintosh® and UNIX®/Linux systems
• Support for both database and server virtualization applications

Store

Centralize data from multiple local systems into one single storage device, reducing management overhead and instantly increasing reliability. Capacity can be added with zero downtime, and ReadyNAS supports file sharing and server virtualization applications like Microsoft Hyper-V™, VMware® or Citrix XenServer™.

Share

Serve files to Windows, Macintosh and Linux/UNIX users simultaneously. Access data no matter where you are — from multiple computers, on the road, or in an alternate office location. Consolidate and eliminate file servers while hosting virtual machines at the same time. Elegantly manage capacity across your servers and clients all at the same time.

The ReadyNAS Remote feature means drag-and-drop over a secure connection between any computer and your ReadyNAS. No more firewall, VPN or awkward Web-based remote access solutions.

Protect

Successful businesses understand that lost information means lost revenue. Multiple layers of protection are built into every ReadyNAS, including drive fault tolerance, redundant power supply, online backups (snapshots), and secure offsite replication to another ReadyNAS system. A ReadyNAS revolutionizes backup and recovery times and can replace tape completely, making offsite replication and backup a complete, affordable and timely reality for small business users. And support for Symantec agents makes integration with existing backup software simpler and faster.

The ReadyNAS Vault option automatically preserves multiple archive copies in a datacenter. This centralized, set-and-forget choice means no more dedicated servers, licenses or failed jobs, and captures as little or as much as you choose. Recovery can be done from any network location and is as simple as using a Web browser!

ReadyNAS Vault:

Embedded Online Disaster Recovery

ReadyNAS Vault software connects ReadyNAS systems to an enterprise-class Web-based storage infrastructure. You determine what you want protected and ReadyNAS Vault automatically and securely copies it offsite. ReadyNAS Vault software is tightly integrated into ReadyNAS storage systems, so you can confirm results, make changes, and recover files, even for multiple systems, from any Internet location.

Device-integrated Cloud Backup

Other backup solutions require a server and agents to be installed, managed, maintained, and licensed, but ReadyNAS Vault is built right into your storage. Differential backups, de-duplication and compression are all automatic, and management requires only a Web browser. Cut down costs while increasing reliability, all without adding complexity.

Web-based Management

Check transfer history, modify configurations, change scheduling and select backup sources from any browser-based location in real-time. No more waiting on email for logs after the fact, and multiple systems can be managed from a single login.

Continuous Data Protection Options

ReadyNAS Vault can watch for changes in real-time and provide immediate protection for new or modified files. Alternatively, backup jobs can be scheduled to run at specific intervals so that your data is moved offsite when it is most convenient for you. Advanced configuration options for bandwidth consumption and system usage provide you with complete control. ReadyNAS Vault automatically maintains multiple versions, providing numerous recovery points.

Recover Data Quickly

Browse to the files you need and replace them on your ReadyNAS with a click. No need to restore from tapes, no concerns about software versions and no media management hassles – just browse and replace. Large amounts of data can be replaced by shipped CD, DVD or even a ReadyNAS.

Secure

128-bit SSL transfer connections ensure that your data is kept private and secure during transmission and 256-bit AES encryption delivers additional protection while it sits on cloud storage systems.
