NetGear ReadyNAS 2312 1U Rackmount 12-Bay NAS for SMBs

NetGear, Inc. is introducing ReadyNAS 1U 12-bay high density rackmount NAS (RR2312) solution for SMBs.

ReadyNAS 2312 is a 12-bay NAS in a 1U form factor, a design that represents a high density storage solution. It is for backup, file serving, archiving, cloud storage and IP-based surveillance video management and recording. It can be set up, monitored and managed via the company’s Insight management app for iOS or Android mobile devices.

The 12-bay design and 4 GbE interfaces of ReadyNAS 2312 offer performance and data scalability, enabling a low initial investment with growth potential.

With ReadyNAS 2312, data is protected through hybrid backup process that offers 3 options:

• A centralized computer backup works with the ReadyCLOUD PC/Mac application to backup your data to the ReadyNAS, with hourly snapshots, making sure data are up to date. It is accessible and to restore data fast, in case of loss or corruption.

• The free-of-charge DR solution, ReadyDR, protects businesses against unforeseen catastrophes by performing automated and continuous block level backup to a secondary ReadyNAS.

• With backup to the Cloud, ReadyNAS can sync your data to the public cloud of your choice, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive and Dropbox.

“The ReadyNAS 2312 is currently the market leader in dollar per terabyte ratio in NAS,” says Richard Jonker, VP, SMB product management, NetGear. “We designed this product specifically to address the growing need for large and scalable storage capacity, with emphasis on compact dimension, data reliability, and ease of management. Our early customers have told us that this is ideal for backup and surveillance video management, but also for cloud storage offers by MSPs, or archiving.“

ReadyNAS 2312 is powered by a quad core high performance Atom C3000 processor with quad GbE network interface to support up to 40 high definition, high frame rate IP surveillance cameras, while its 12-bay storage chassis, assisted by the XRAID technology from the company, enables the IT manager to add additional storage capacity seamlessly as surveillance data grows.

The design of ReadyNAS 2312 is also suited for video surveillance applications. By running ONVIF-compliant software, It can pair with the firm’s FlexPower Wire-Free IP Camera (VNC4030) and the FlexPower Base Station (VNB4000), a wire-free, battery-powered ONVIF-compliant camera, to create a complete video security solution. This presents a choice for business owners who prefer local storage over the cloud, but want the ease of indoor or outdoor installation offered by wire-free company’s cameras.
