With the Ready NAS Pro, you′ll receive email alerts whenever something out of the ordinary arises, such as disk failure, overtemperature condition, & fan failure, giving you peace of mind & saving money. RAID The Ready NAS Pro is designed to ensure full data redundancy without compromising the system performance. The Ready NAS Pro supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, & NETGEAR′s patent pending X-RAID2, with hot spare capability. With RAID 6, the system ensures data integrity even with 2 simultaneous disk failures. The extra disk bays provided by the 6-bay Ready NAS Pro makes RAID 6 & hot spares practical options worth considering to prevent any prolonged state in which the Ready NAS data volume is left in an unprotected state. X-RAID2 Technology X-RAID2 is the 2nd generation of Ready NAS′s proven patent-pending Auto-Expandable RAID technology. X-RAID2 automates the volume expansion for you as you scale from 1 drive to 6 drives while keeping your data online. in addition, as your storage requirement grows, you can replace your disks with larger capacity ones, & X-RAID2 automatically & incrementally expands your storage vertically." No other NAS devices in this class can do this without reformatting your disks & shuffling your data back & forth. Backup All Ready NAS systems include multiple backup layers that can be customized to fit business needs. First, protect network clients with included CDP software. Second, snapshot Ready NAS data to ensure a recovery point. Then, backup to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) drive on demand or on a schedule. Finally, secure replication between systems is standard with all business-class Ready NAS products. Ready NAS Vault Ready NAS Vault software connects Ready NAS systems to an enterprise-class Web-based storage infrastructure. This centralized, set-&-forget choice means no more dedicated servers, licenses or failed job worries, & captures as little or as much data as you choose. Recovery can be done from any network location & is as simple as using a Web browser.
