NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo for Consumers

ReadyNAS Duo enables consumers to store and securely share digital media throughout the home network and across Internet

NETGEAR, Inc. has launched the ReadyNAS Duo 500GB Gigabit Desktop
Network Storage (RND2150), ReadyNAS Duo 750GB Gigabit Desktop Network
Storage (RND2175) and ReadyNAS Duo 1TB Gigabit Desktop Network Storage
(RND2110) solutions, the first members of the award-winning ReadyNAS
family of network-attached storage solutions designed to meet the
digital storage needs of today’s connected home.

ReadyNAS Duo brings
the award-winning, patent-pending storage technology of the
business-class ReadyNAS NV+ down to consumers who demand secure data
protection, scalability, and ease of operation, in an intelligent,
affordable network storage solution that enables consumers to
centralize, organize and share all digital media in the home with
best-in-class performance, scalability, versatility, and data
redundancy.

ReadyNAS Duo, which supports up to two SATA hard
drives, utilizes powerful embedded software that enables users to
centrally and securely store and access digital media on the home network. By simply connecting any USB-enabled digital camera
to the front-mounted USB port, ReadyNAS Duo quickly and easily copies
the photos and makes them available to computers, PDAs and other
network-enabled devices in the home or across the internet. In addition
to the users’ personal stored digital audio and video content, ReadyNAS
Duo also provides integrated support for BitTorrent enabling users
to download digital entertainment content directly to the ReadyNAS Duo
and stream all stored audio and video content through a media adapter
(such as the NETGEAR Digital Entertainer HD) into a home entertainment
center without requiring any of the network computers to be on and in
use.

To protect valuable digital media, ReadyNAS Duo, when
equipped with the optional second drive, automatically mirrors all
digital data to protect against data loss due to a disk failure. In
addition, Continuous Data Protection (CDP) backup
further ensures the security of a users’ data by monitoring the data
for changes and automatically saving it as it changes on the computer.
Easy-to-install and use, the self-managing and monitoring ReadyNAS Duo
comes complete with a Setup Wizard to get the NAS configured quickly on
any home network, is administered via a graphical web browser-based
interface and conducts automatic online firmware updates. ReadyNAS Duo,
which performs periodic checks to insure data integrity and safely
shuts itself down in the event of any detected abnormalities, offers
password protection to restrict access to data where needed.

The ReadyNAS Duo, which works equally well with Windows Vista
machines and Macintosh clients, incorporates unique Apple technologies
such as Bonjour and AFP as well as a desktop widget to facilitate
monitoring and accessing the ReadyNAS. The Duo has been designed from
the ground up to support the needs of graphic arts and photography
professionals who prefer the Macintosh platform. Once a file is saved
on the ReadyNAS, it can be easily transferred and shared between
Windows- and Macintosh-based machines.

The NETGEAR family of ReadyNAS(TM) Duo 2-Bay Gigabit Desktop Network
Storage solutions are smart network attached storage servers that
combine robust file serving, support for access by multiple operating systems, and data redundancy with out-of-box ease of deployment and web-based management.

Featuring an integrated Gigabit Ethernet interface for fast data transfers, the ultra-compact
ReadyNAS Duo enables users to centrally store music, photos, data
files, and videos to make the transfer and sharing of digital data
across the network fast and easy. ReadyNAS Duo provides seamless
clientless support for Windows, Macintosh, Linux/Unix
clients, as well as FTP and HTTP support, enabling it to integrate
easily and seamlessly into any network environment. ReadyNAS Duo
supports all popular streaming
media protocols such as UPnP AV, iTunes and Logitech Squeezecenter
enabling users to stream audio and video files directly into the home
entertainment center without the need for a separate networked computer.

The NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo is packed with high-end storage server features including hardware accelerated X-RAID, ensuring full data redundancy with protection against hardware failure, hot-swappable hard disks, built-in backup
manager, system monitoring and automatic alerting capabilities. In
addition, ReadyNAS Duo supports UPnP AV multimedia access, an iTunes server, HTTP/S remote access, FTP/S transfers, SSL and ACL security, and multiple USB ports.

ReadyNAS Duo, which supports up to two SATA drives, provides users with
up to two terabytes (2000 GB) of raw storage, making it an ideal
solution for the growing data storage needs of consumers in today’s connected homes. As users’ data storage
needs grow, ReadyNAS Duo enables Plug and Play expansion for easy
migration to the business-class ReadyNAS NV+ Gigabit Desktop Network
Storage solutions. NETGEAR’s ReadyNAS products incorporate
patent-pending X-RAID
technology to automate the data redundancy process to provide the
ultimate protection for the consumers’ valuable digital data.

The NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo, which comes with NTI Shadow Backup Software to automate data backup
from networked computers, is backed by a three-year hardware warranty
and will be available in late Q1 2008 via leading retailers, direct
marketers, e-commerce sites and value added resellers, at a retail
price in the U.S. starting at $499 including one five hundred GB drive.
