Robust Features Coupled with Easy Management
  • Serves files easily
  • Backs up data effortlessly
  • Streams music and video quickly
  • Shares printers with ease
  • Works with Windows, Mac, and Linux

    ReadyNAS NV+ was designed specifically for home offices, small businesses and workgroups. Never before has there been available a cost-conscience Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance packed with robust high-end server features, including Gigabit Ethernet, hardware RAID, system monitoring capabilities and built-in backup. ReadyNAS couples out of the box deployment and easy management with robust file serving and data redundancy.

    Easy Deployment and Management
    With an easy web browser interface and setup wizard, ReadyNAS can be configured with minimal effort saving you valuable time. Traditional file servers can take hours to configure and, even once up and running, dont have built-in system monitoring and email alerts. Available with ReadyNAS, automatic alerts give you the peace of mind that things are running smoothly because if trouble should arise, you will be notified.

    RAID
    Supporting hardware accelerated RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) levels 0, 1, 5 and ReadyNASs own X-RAID technology, ReadyNAS ensures full data redundancy with protection against hardware failure something previously only available in high end servers. If one drive fails, the data volumes can still be rebuilt with the remaining drives. Without RAID, once a failure occurs, you risk losing all of the data stored on the drive.

    X-RAID Technology
    ReadyNASs patent pending X-RAID technology automates the volume expansion for you as you scale from 1 HDD to 4 HDD. Most NAS devices on the market arent future-proof. You cant add or replace disks for larger capacity. ReadyNAS allows you to start with one disk, then add the additional drives over time, without reconfiguring the system and shuffling the data. Additionally, as disk capacity becomes larger and cheaper, you can replace all four disks, oneby- one, while X-RAID automatically manages the RAID details for you.

    Backup
    A sound backup strategy is important and relying on manually copying your important files is tedious and error-prone. With the help of EMC Retrospect backup and recovery software, you can set automatic backups of all of your network clients whether they are Windows, Mac or Linux to your ReadyNAS. Additionally, ReadyNAS includes an integrated backup manager that enables one-button backup from your NAS appliance to external USB HDD for offsite rotation, or to remote servers, if needed.

    File Serving and Media Streaming
    ReadyNAS is a single centralized source for all of your digital data. The variety of digital devices and hard drives that currently house the data in your home and office can make locating a particular file quite arduous. ReadyNAS can bring all of that data together for fast and easy file serving to multiple clients simultaneously. If its video or other high-definition media you are working with, you can use your ReadyNAS for streaming to multiple devices at the same time.

    Advanced System Design
    The industrial design and ultra compact form factor of the ReadyNAS makes it perfect for any home office or small business. Standing only eight inches tall and five inches wide, it can fit in any entertainment center or on any desk without taking up much space or making much noise. ReadyNAS also offers low power consumption and a special energy-saving mode that allows you to automate startup and shutdown.

    4 of 5 Great concept, inferrior hardware... Friday, May 09, 2008
    A Customer from NY  

    Yes, this device is packed with advanced features, but unfortunately, extremely slow CPU will not allow you to use all of them...<p> By default, it comes with jumbo frames enabled. If your other devices cannot support it, you MUST disable it (or your transfer rates will be in kilobytes)<p> Could not use it as a print server. Everything was configured properly and test pages were going through, but every time you bring up a print screen, I would have to wait for several minutes. When printing, more offten than not, job would time out. I have Minolta PagePro 1350, behaviour *could* be different with more traditional HPs and Xeroxes...<p> Though the bandwidth is good when you have it connected via ethernet, transfer rates are ridiculously slow (<300K) if you try accessing the device via WiFi. I have Dlink G router (for WiFi and firewall) and a TrendNet Gigabit hub, to which REdiNAS and all computers are connected. When attempting to copy anythig off the device to a WiFi laptop, transfer rates are extremely slow. At the same time, transferring the same file from one of the computers connected to the same gigabit switch is running normally...

    5 of 5 Great with Macs and OS 10.5! Monday, April 21, 2008
    A Customer from New York, NY  
    What a wonderful product! Extremely easy setup, worked right out of the box. Added two more identical WD drives, and within a few hours both had been incorporated into the Xraid. However, I'm taking one point off for performance as I have full cat 6 connections from the NV+ to my iMac (through a GigE Airport Extreme) and am having some intermittent hiccups playing movies within Front Row. Netgear's (infrant's) tech support and user forums are top notch, too. Expensive, but worth it.
