Local value-added distributor, Duxbury Networking, has released a family of six-bay, small form factor desktop network attached storage (NAS) solutions targeted at small to medium size enterprises (SMEs).
The Netgear ReadyNAS Pro series consists of a range of a scalable storage solutions designed to enable SMEs to centrally store, protect and share significant amounts of critical business data across a variety of different platforms.
“The ReadyNAS Pro series was conceived with the needs of the growing SME in mind,” says Armand Steffens, a business development manager at Duxbury Networking. “The series is powerful enough to provide centralised network storage for up to 200 users.”
Housed in a compact desktop form factor, the ReadyNAS Pro products support up to six SATA I or SATA II hard drives via six lockable, hot-swappable disk trays. Three USB 2.0 ports enable the connection of USB drives or printers.
There are three NAS solutions in the series.
The most powerful member is ReadyNAS Pro 6TB RNDP6610 which provides up to 6TB of network attached storage enabling users across the LAN or WAN to store, backup and share digital data from a combination of Windows, Macintosh and Linux platforms.
ReadyNAS Pro 3TB RNDP6310 and ReadyNAS Pro 1.5TB RNDP6350 provide 3TB and 1.5TB of storage capacity respectively.
Additional features of the ReadyNAS Pro series include support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and auto-expandable X-RAID2 to provide robust data protection against single disk failure. To ensure high availability to stored data, dual redundant Gigabit Ethernet ports are provided for failover protection.
