Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems: Overview

Give your business a centralized location for storing and sharing critical information. A network attached storage device doesn't require a complicated setup process and offers a competitive cost savings when compared to advanced storage systems.

Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems support:

• Capacity: Add multiple SATA hard drives to your network storage device and push your available capacity into the terabyte range
• Connectivity: High-speed networking ports offer enhanced bandwidth, keeping the quality of your data transmissions intact even when multiple users are connected and interacting with the device simultaneously
• Operability: Network attached storage devices often require an operating system to exist on one of the attached drives. Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems incorporate the OS directly into the chassis, allowing you to mix and match (or hot-swap) drives at your leisure
• RAID: You can pair the drives within the NAS for maximum reliability; if one fails, your data will remain safe. You can also chain the drives together to work as a single, unified storage volume. While somewhat riskier, this delivers faster performance.

Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems: Features

Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems offer a range of features, including:

• Support for a variety of connection speeds, allowing you to match your network's performance needs with your pricing requirements
• Storage bays that come pre-loaded with hard drives (depending on the model), creating an all-in-one package that can be installed, plugged in, and ready for access without additional costs
• Disk-based encryption that protects your stored data from unauthorized access, and MAC-based filtering to limit connections to the device
• Internal temperature sensors that automatically control attached cooling fans, reducing the noise output of the NAS device
• RAID support-including RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, and RAID10 functionality-that allows you to decide what's best for your business: maximum speed, maximum reliability, or a compromise between the two
