Easy Deployment

With an easy Web browser interface and setup wizard, ReadyNAS can be confi gured with
minimal effort — saving you valuable time. Traditional fi le servers can take hours to confi gure
and, even once up and running, don’t 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 notifi ed.

RAID
Supporting hardware accelerated RAID (redundant array of independent disks) levels 0, 1,
5 and ReadyNAS’s 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
ReadyNAS’s 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 aren’t future-proof. You
can’t add or replace disks for larger capacity. ReadyNAS allows you to start with one disk, then
add the additional drives over time, without reconfi guring the system and shuffl ing the data.
Additionally, as disk capacity becomes larger and cheaper, you can replace all four disks, one by
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 fi les is
tedious and error-prone. With the help of EMC

File Serving and
Media Streaming
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 offi ce can make locating a
particular fi le quite arduous. ReadyNAS can bring all of that data together for fast and easy fi le
serving to multiple clients simultaneously. If it’s video or other high-defi nition media you are
working with, you can use your ReadyNAS for streaming to multiple devices at the same time.
ReadyNAS also provides UPnP AV support for a wide variety of digital media devices (such as
NETGEAR EVA8500 or Microsoft Xbox 360™).
