Highly Reliable Systems Revealed NetSwap 600 ($1,799 )

Highly Reliable Systems, Inc. have revealed their upcoming NetSwap 600 rack-mounted computer backup NAS system featuring six disk bays capable of RAID-10 configuration with built-in VM support and remote management tools.

Designed to replicate with other backup appliances as well as public cloud storage, NetSwap 600 utilizes hardware-based encryption and disk redundancy to securely store server data.

NetSwap 600 NAS is a 2U rack-mounted purpose built backup appliance powered by an Core-i3 processor and DDR3 RAM, complete with an integrated Xen Hypervisor for creating DR VMs and capable of block-level AES-256 data encryption. NetSwap 600 works well with Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools such as LabTech, Kaseya, N-able, and several others to provide the most reliable backup solution available. For hardware level monitoring, NetSwap products provide TCP/HTTP network file based methods. Company’s own Windows-based NetSwap Dashboard client allows remote monitoring of device status, including: HDD presence, mirror status (eg: degraded, rebuilding, etc), and other useful events.

NetSwap 600 includes GbE network attachment, expandable to 10GbE, with support for CIFS network shares, NFS Linux/Unix/Vmware shares, or iSCSI block level drive access that allows transfer speeds of up to 1,620GB/hour (10GbE) or up to 360GB/hr using GbE. The NetSwap 600 computer backup NAS system features replication with other High-Rely NetSwap appliances, as well as rsync targets. In addition, NetSwap will replicate with popular cloud vendors such as: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, DreamHost DreamCloud, and Dropbox.

Integrated Watchdog circuitry monitors NetSwap 600 for even reliability, notifying administrators when a alert occurs. High-Rely’s knowledgeable U.S.-based support team is available for help requests, and a large collection of technical guides are published for self-service tasks. Each NetSwap backup NAS may be paired with an optional dynamic support contract for up to three years, adding advance replacement service on hardware components and covering shipping costs to and from the High-Rely service center.

NetSwap 600 is expected to launch in Summer 2015, for $1,799 MSRP. It is available only through channel partners.
