Features and Benefits
The Cisco NSS3000 Series Network Storage System provides:
●
Robust reliability: Traditional small business NAS systems require each hard drive to run its own operating
system software, making them inherently less stable. The Cisco Small Business NSS3000 Series integrates
the Linux operating system that controls the storage system into the chassis itself, helping ensure that your
business remains protected even if an individual hard drive fails.
●
Maximum flexibility: The Cisco Small Business NSS3000 Series supports a variety of data storage schemes
(Redundant Array of Independent Disks [RAID] 0, 1, 5, and 10 and “just a bunch of disks” [JBOD]) and file
systems, and allows you to link Windows-based users, Mac users, UNIX/Linux users, and FTP clients into a
single data storage system, providing a complete storage solution for virtually any business environment.
●
Advanced storage capabilities: The solution’s rich network storage features include support for the Self-
Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) monitoring system for hard disks, file journaling,
and virtualization of RAID storage systems across Cisco NSS chassis

, giving you a full suite of tools to
create a robust file-sharing and data backup system for your business.
●
Strong security: The Cisco Small Business NSS3000 Series supports a variety of security features to protect
your data and help you comply with regulatory standards, including file encryption support, Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) file-based disk encryption, virtual LANs (VLANs), and user authentication and
access control.
●
Easy setup and operation: The Cisco Small Business NSS3000 Series simplifies configuration and ongoing
status monitoring with a two-line LCD display that provides unit health status, storage status, network status,
and more.
●
Reduced costs: By integrating the operating system into the chassis, instead of individual hard drives, the
solution eliminates the need to purchase and maintain third-party licenses, upgrades, and accessories for
each hard drive in the system.
●
Out-of-the-box compatibility with other business applications: The Cisco Small Business NSS3000
Series is designed to fully integrate with other Cisco Small Business Series solutions in a single, easy-to-
manage network environment. For example, the solution provides the ideal data storage foundation for Cisco
IP video surveillance and CDP applications.
