Easy Deployment and
Management
With an easy web browser interface and setup wizard, ReadyNAS can be
configured with minimal effort — saving you valuable time. Traditional
file servers can take hours to configure and, even once up and running,
don’t have built-in system monitoring and email alerts. Available with
ReadyNAS, automatic alerts give you the peace of mind that things are
running smoothly because if trouble should arise, you will be notified.
RAID
Supporting hardware accelerated RAID (Redundant Array of Independent
Disks) levels 0, 1, 5 and ReadyNAS’s own X-RAID™ technology, ReadyNAS
ensures full data redundancy with protection against hardware failure –
something previously only available in high end servers. If one drive
fails, the data volumes can still be rebuilt with the remaining drives.
Without RAID, once a failure occurs, you risk losing all of the data
stored on the drive.
X-RAID Technology
ReadyNAS’s patent pending X-RAID technology automates the volume
expansion for you as you scale from 1 HDD to 4 HDD. Most NAS devices on
the market aren’t future-proof. You can’t add or replace disks for
larger capacity. ReadyNAS allows you to start with one disk, then add
the additional drives over time, without reconfiguring the system and
shuffling the data. Additionally, as disk capacity becomes larger and
cheaper, you can replace all four disks, oneby- one, while X-RAID
automatically manages the RAID details for you.
Backup
A sound backup strategy is important and relying on manually copying
your important files is tedious and error-prone. With the help of EMC®
Retrospect® backup and recovery software, you can set automatic backups
of all of your network clients – whether they are Windows, Mac or Linux
– to your ReadyNAS. Additionally, ReadyNAS includes an integrated backup
manager that enables one-button backup from your NAS appliance to
external USB HDD for offsite rotation, or to remote servers, if needed.
File Serving and Media Streaming
ReadyNAS is a single centralized source for all of your digital data.
The variety of digital devices and hard drives that currently house the
data in your home and office can make locating a particular file quite
arduous. ReadyNAS can bring all of that data together for fast and easy
file serving to multiple clients simultaneously. If it’s video or other
high-definition media you are working with, you can use your ReadyNAS
for streaming to multiple devices at the same time.
Advanced System Design
The industrial design and ultra compact form factor of the ReadyNAS
makes it perfect for any home office or small business. Standing only
eight inches tall and five inches wide, it can fit in any entertainment
center or on any desk without taking up much space or making much noise.
ReadyNAS also offers low power consumption and a special energy-saving
mode that allows you to automate startup and shutdown.
