Ideal for supporting up to 40 concurrent users
for Gigabit speed file backup and file serving, ReadyNAS 2304 meets
the needs of data-focused small businesses for on-premise storage
and backup with remote collaboration combined with cloud backup to
Amazon AWS, Google Drive or Dropbox as a few examples. It provides
new capabilities and a 50 percent performance increase over the
previous-generation, the ReadyNAS 2120, the current bestselling
entry-level rackmount business-class NAS from NETGEAR.
With ReadyNAS 2304, businesses achieve a level
of data protection that is unmatched in the realm of SMB storage.
ReadyNAS 2304 runs the latest version of the groundbreaking
ReadyNAS operating system, the innovative OS 6.7, which enables a
wide set of business features. ReadyNAS OS safeguards data through
five levels of unrivaled file protection, seamless, zero-cost
ReadyCLOUD® file sharing, and full data protection with ReadyDR®
block-level backup and disaster recovery.
In terms of hardware, ReadyNAS 2304 is a 1U rack mount form
factor, 4-bay NAS appliance with capacity up to 40TB for supporting
up to 40 concurrent business users. It has a faster and more
powerful 64-bit Dual Core Intel® Celeron® processor for 2.0GHz of
processing power, 1.5 times the previous model. It features two
Gigabit Ethernet ports (1GbE), three USB 3.0 ports, for additional
data storage and transfer.
“ReadyNAS Rackmount 2304 represents a
significant upgrade in terms of storage features and performance
available for small businesses, at an incredibly cost-effective
price point for the number of users supported,” said Richard
Jonker, vice president of SMB product line management for NETGEAR.
“Network managers can sleep soundly at night knowing their
mission-critical data is protected against human error, hard drive
and system failures, viruses and malware, and natural
disasters.”
Bigger Files, More Secure Sharing Across
the CloudToday’s emphasis on cross-office collaboration
and team work with remote offices pushes for increased file
sharing, faster data access, and more secure storage. Video
streaming and conferencing have become a part of daily business in
even small companies. As a result, file sizes are regularly growing
from kilobytes to megabytes to gigabytes, as businesses move to 4K,
3D, CAT files, large slide presentations, and large H264 video
files.
Architects, creative agencies, movie studios,
CAT/CAD designers, and research labs manipulating large files can
find their appropriate storage solution with the ReadyNAS 2304,
along with businesses, schools and universities sharing data across
remote offices and branch offices.
Yet not all data can be sent to the cloud due to
its sensitive nature, for regulatory issues, for bandwidth issues,
or for the need for immediate access in the case of high file
utilization. This has created the need for hybrid private clouds
with on-premise storage, making ReadyNAS 2304 with ReadyCLOUD
access an ideal storage solution for organizations where sensitive
data is at the core of the business — healthcare, education and
financial institutions, government agencies, notary and legal
offices, retail chains and small telecom providers.
Data Protection and Cloud Backup through
ReadyNAS OS 6.7 ReadyNAS 2304 is powered by the latest
version of the industry-leading ReadyNAS OS, which enables a
complete, reliable and cost-effective backup platform. It is also
Virtual Memory System (VMS)-ready, a capability expected to be
available later in 2017.
- All-Inclusive Backup and Recovery: ReadyNAS OS
automatically installs ReadyDR™ (Disaster Recovery) to ensure
business continuity with minimal downtime in any catastrophic
event. ReadyDR performs incremental and scheduled block-level
backup and restore to a second compatible ReadyNAS, ensuring LAN
replication of even the largest backup files and databases.
- 5 Levels of Data Protection: BTRFS File System
Flex RAID protection against disk drive failure; real time
anti-virus, incremental backup copies with unlimited snapshots to
protect against human error; bitrot protection against media
degradation; and the easiest-to-set-up replication for ultimate
disaster recovery available in a NAS today.
- Public Cloud Sync: ReadyNAS OS 6.7 offers new
enterprise-level capabilities such as automatic bi-directional
synchronization between any ReadyNAS model and public cloud storage
services including Amazon AWS, Amazon Cloud Drive, Dropbox and
Google Drive. It provides an ideal hybrid cloud solution for small
businesses to back up and synchronize on-site storage to the cloud
storage, and vice-versa.
- Private Cloud: In addition to supporting
connections to commonly used public cloud services, ReadyNAS offers
NETGEAR ReadyCLOUD® for an instant, VPN-based private cloud for
local and remote data access for file sharing, without additional
costs. Its versatile sync and remote management capabilities enable
employees to enjoy the same unified interface regardless of
location.
