Cloud Options in enhanced ReadyNAS OS
The RR4340X is powered by the  version 6.7 of the ReadyNAS OS, which enables a complete, reliable and cost-effective backup platform, starting with its BTRFS File System with five levels of data protection:

• Flex RAID protection against disk failure while maximizing drive capacity utilization

• Incremental backup copies with unlimited snapshots to protect against operational error 

• Built-in, real-time anti-virus solution 

• Bitrot protection against media degradation; and 

• Easy-to-setup cloud-managed replication 

ReadyNAS makes hybrid cloud solution for small business ensuring the cloud and local storage are synchronized. ReadyNAS OS 6.7 helps tbackup on-site storage to Amazon S3, or backup Amazon S3 storage to the on-site storage. It supports automatic bi-direction synchronization between any ReadyNAS model and the data storage offered by public cloud services with businesses such as Google Drive, Amazon S3, Amazon Cloud Drive, and Dropbox.

The ReadyNAS OS also supports a Docker app so that software developers, businesses, and computing enthusiasts can quickly build, run, test, and deploy distributed Docker container applications In addition to supporting connections to these commonly used public cloud services, ReadyNAS ReadyNAS 4360X offers ReadyCLOUD for an instant, secure VPN-based private cloud for local and remote data access for file sharing, without additional costs. Its sync and remote management capabilities enable employees to enjoy the same unified interface regardless of location. ReadyNAS OS (version 6.6 and above) automatically installs ReadyDR, a backup solution for mission-critical data for SMBs requiring minimal downtime in any catastrophic event. It performs incremental and block-level backup and restore to a second compatible ReadyNAS, ensuring LAN replication of large backup files and databases.

ReadyNAS OS expands capacity of ReadyNAS 3312 and 4312
