Asustor AS6212RD 12-Bay Rackmount NAS

Asustor Inc. announced the AS6212RD 12-bay rackmount NAS, an addition to their series of Braswell based NAS devices.

It is equipped with core specifications that are ready to meet the requirements of demanding enterprise environments while providing excellent performance and smooth multitasking. The four built-in USB ports provide for agile applications, allowing businesses to maximize the use of existing equipment and resources.

AS6212RD features twelve disk bays and supports high capacity HDDs on the market (10TB) allowing for the creation of large storage spaces.

Businesses that require high capacity storage can maximize the use of disk bays by utilizing firm’s MyArchive cold backup technology to achieve unlimited storage. MyArchive disks can be used to archive data, freeing up storage space on existing storage volumes. Users can plug in MyArchive disks back into the NAS any time that they need to access the archived data. Additionally, for users who want to add storage capacity without having to expand their RAID storage volumes, MyArchive technology can be used, providing a low cost option to meet increasing storage demands.

The AS6212RD comes built-in with the ADM OS which features an easy to use interface allowing IT staff to carry out their duties efficiently. Simple wizards are provided which guide users to complete configurations in a few simple steps.

From backup configurations to network security management, ADM provides the type of flexible functionality that allows IT staff to simplify their work and enhance productivity.

Furthermore, ADM provides a variety of RAID configurations, providing enterprises with secure data protection. In regards to hardware, disk tray locks are provided which prevents the disk trays from accidentally popping out, offering an additional layer of protection.

“A premium device perfect for enterprise, the AS6212RD combines remarkable software with stable, yet high performance hardware,” said Johnny Chen, product manager, Asustor. “The dual built-in power supplies ensure continuous operation in the event of sudden power outages, giving administrators sufficient time to decide on proper contingency measures. We are confident that the AS6212RD will become a new enterprise favorite.”
