Industry-first innovation. First-class value.

Innovative, easy to use, and affordable, ReadyNAS from NETGEAR is a business solution with industry-first features to protect, manage, and store your data.

Unlimited Snapshots. Now on the desktop.

Welcome to Unlimited Snapshots for NAS. ReadyNAS gives you continuous data protection with unlimited block-based snapshots of your file system. Create and track multiple versions and restore any point of time with a single click. And admin couldn’t be easier or more flexible: you can restore Snapshot data from local admin GUI, ReadyCLOUD, or native Windows FileExplorer, and can schedule automatic or manual Snapshots.

Move it here. Copy it there. Store it anywhere.

ReadyNAS Replicate is here. So you can whip through (and manage) file-based remote replication from anywhere. Powered by the ReadyCLOUD platform, Replicate makes it simple to copy, move, and store data offsite for protection and peace of mind. Replicate is included free with every ReadyNAS device, works with existing ReadyNAS units, and offers a headache-free set-up with no need for add-on applications or licenses.

ReadyCLOUD: easy cloud-based set-up, management, and replication.

By far the easiest initial set-up in the industry, ReadyCLOUD allows you to discover and manage any ReadyNAS device from the cloud – just plug the unit into your network, log onto the internet, and set-up is as simple as clicking a button. ReadyCLOUD also enables cloud-based replication and offers simple management and remote file access capabilities.

Thin Provisioning and XRAID2 add capacity (while lightening your management load).

ReadyNAS virtualization gives you the critical flexibility to add capacity as needed—so no need to pre-determine volume capacity and quotas ahead of time. Unlike others, ReadyNAS also provides thin provisioning for all volumes created, not just iSCI volumes, making easier, smarter virtualization management a reality.

XRAID2 with ReadyNAS adds automatic—and on-the-fly—volume expansion, making overhead protection and capacity scaling both simple and powerful.

Stop risk before it starts with Real Time Anti-virus & Encryption.

In the time between scheduled scans, a virus can slow computers, invade privacy, and damage or steal data. That’s why ReadyNAS offers Real-Time Virus and Encryption—a category first. Whenever a file is written to the ReadyNAS*, the file is scanned in real-time to prevent any danger—a must-have requirement when using bit-torrent or downloading files directly from the Internet to the ReadyNAS. ReadyNAS Encryption also gives you real-time protection, encrypting files as they’re written, and taking security to the next level by storing keys on a USB dongle rather than in memory or in a file.

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. Fasters 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 web-connected 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 off-site to protect against natural disasters and theft.

Virtualization

With Unlimited Snapshots, thin provisioning, and improved iCSI support, ReadyNAS delivers a virtualization platform with next generation features at an affordable price.
