Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems: Overview

Give your business a centralized location for storing and sharing critical information. A network attached storage device doesn't require a complicated setup process and offers a competitive cost savings when compared to advanced storage systems

NEW - Cisco NSS2000, NSS2050 and NSS3000 Network Storage System Chassis

Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems support:

	Capacity: Add multiple SATA hard drives to your network
	storage device and push your available capacity into the terabyte range.

	Connectivity: High-speed networking ports offer
	enhanced bandwidth, keeping the quality of your data transmissions intact even when multiple users are connected and interacting with the device simultaneously.

	Operability: Network-attached storage devices often
	require an operating system to exist on one of the attached drives. Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems incorporate the OS directly into the chassis, allowing you to mix and match (or hot-swap) drives at your leisure.

	RAID : You can pair the drives within the NAS for maximum
	reliability; if one fails, your data will remain safe. You can also chain the drives together to work as a single, unified storage volume. While somewhat riskier, this delivers faster performance.

Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems: Features

Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems offer a range of features, including:

	Support for a variety of connection speeds, allowing
	you to match your network's performance needs with your pricing requirements

	(depending on the model), creating an all-in-one package that can be installed, plugged in, and ready for access without additional costs
	Disk-based encryption that protects your stored
	data from unauthorized access, and MAC-based filtering to limit connections to the device
	Internal temperature sensors that automatically control
	attached cooling fans, reducing the noise output of the NAS device
	RAID support—including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5,and RAID 10
	functionality—that allows you to decide what's best for your business: maximum speed, maximum reliability, or a compromise between the two
	Support on some models for an optional, redundant
	power supply to keep your network storage online and operational
