NetSwap NS600 From Highly Reliable Systems

Highly Reliable Systems, Inc. announces the NetSwap NS600, network attached backup appliance, to complete his NetSwap product family.

With the recent update of cloud-friendly NetSwap version 2.14 firmware bringing the ability run VMs (optional utility OS), new RAID types (N-Way, 5, 6, 10) and the addition of the NetSwap Dashboard software, many customers have sought the advantages of the NetSwap platform without the use of our Highly-Removable Drives at every installation. For example, sites where smaller NetSwaps are replicating over the internet to a central location, have created a desire for a higher storage density rack tennant for a lower price on the NetSwap platform.

The NetSwap NS600 embodies these desires, stylishly. First, a capacity of up to 48TB in a 2U rack. Second, an MSRP of $1,799. When equipped with four off-the shelf 4TB HDDs, the total system cost is about $450 less expensive than an equally equipped NetSwap 400. The NS600 can go up to 48TB whereas the NC-400 is limited to 32TB presently. The NS600’s service bays are easier to install dealer or end-user supplied HDDs allowing for quick changes in capacity or performance as the need arises without the need for tools or any disassembly.

The NetSwap NS600 makes an economical and flexible target for replication jobs from other NetSwaps. The whole system can be managed with the NetSwap Dashboard (free) as seen below.

Besides allowing for control and batch operations of remote firmware upgrades, configuration backup and restores, and statuses, the NetSwap dashboard can congregate errors from all the NetSwaps and place them in the Windows event log for viewing as well as making them accessible to most RMM tools.
