File Sharing
These days, running a successful business often depends on successful file sharing-application data, virtual images, client files, email, all the digital files that make your business go. With ReadyNAS, you finally have an advanced and easy-to-use solution for centralizing, securing, and sharing those critical assets. Faster processors mean more simultaneous users can access unified storage-across PC, Mac and Linux environments. ReadyDROP and full Dropbox integration make it easier than ever to sync your important files, photos or videos across all of your webconnected devices.
Backup
Unlimited snapshots give you complete control over the past, present, and future of your data. This enterprise-class feature copies any point of time in the file system, can be manually or automatically scheduled, and can restore any version with a simple click. Other data protection innovations for disk-based storage like Real Time Anti-Virus and Encryption bring new confidence to the integrity of your data and back-ups.
Disaster Recovery
The custom-built ReadyNAS OS protects stored data with automatic RAID configuration, the continuous security of Unlimited Snapshots, and easy-to-manage Cloud Replication. By maintaining multiple copies of vital data through cloud replication, it makes it easy for you to move data offsite to protect against natural disasters and theft.
