PowerBay DataBank 4 Bay NAS Hard Drive
Designed for data security

The PowerBay NAS system allows documents to be safely shared across a network and on the Internet. It offers two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB 2.0 ports for connecting an external USB and printer device, 256 bit AES encryption for data security, and fast mirroring of data via eSATA.

It can be used perfectly as a file server, offering multiple Access Right settings, FTP/HTTP Download/backup, UPS support, Apple support AFP 3.1 for Mac OS9/X and Macintosh Time Machine. It is also compatible with Windows Server 2003 /2008 Active Directory service. It provides multiple RAID configurations (0, 1+spare, 5, 5+spare), including RAID 6 for reliable backup and recovery of data.

In RAID 6 mode, even if a second HDD fails during the rebuilding process, the data can still be saved – something that cannot be done in RAID 5. And via LAN replication it can be used as a real time backup system, copying all files to another NAS through the external LAN port. Using VPN routers, data can be backed-up to a NAS placed in a different location, ensuring that your data is safe no matter what disruption occurs at your main work site,” says Kai Miroschnik, Business Development Manager HDD Verbatim EUMEA.

PowerBay Single Unit
Perfect tape alternative

Being introduced by Verbatim at the same time is the DataBank PowerBay Removable Hard Drive System, a single-bay solution that can be used in combination with the PowerBay NAS or as a standalone replacement for tape systems. The single bay PowerBay Removable Hard Drive System is also available in stores now.

Connected via eSATA or USB, the PowerBay Removable Hard Drive System offers fast backup and storage of data onto removable cartridges. By using multiple cartridges, businesses can use the system to backup and archive data at different time points.

The PowerBay single-bay solution can be used as a great alternative to tape backup products. It offers direct access to HDD technology, delivers a better performance than tape and lets you keep backup data sets for example on a weekly or monthly basis,” says Miroschnik.

Hot-swappable Cartridge System
The Verbatim PowerBay series uses a ‘hot swappable’ removable Hard Drive cartridge system with capacities of 500GB, 1TB or 2TB. It enables users with no IT expertise to easily remove and exchange protected HDD cartridges without having to turn off system power. The enclosure of the DataBank NAS and cartridge is designed to have an excellent heat radiation structure to optimise the air flow to cool down the HDDs. In addition, the rotation speed of the cooling fan in the back of the enclosure is automatically adjusted based on the temperature in the enclosure to further optimise the cooling.

Pre-installed Acronis True Image Software provides backup, restore, data protection and Disaster Recovery capabilities for PC users. All PowerBay systems work with Windows and Mac OS. The DataBank NAS enclosure model is 170x183mmx230 millimetres in size and weighs 6,7kg. The Single Bay Unit is 50x170x230 millimetres and weighs 2,5kg.
