ReadyNAS: Storage Made Easy

Application data, virtual images, client files, email… the types of data central to
running a successful business can seem endless. With ReadyNAS® you finally
have an advanced and easy-to use solution for centralizing, securing and
controlling access to your digital assets. Way more than just simple unified
(NAS and SAN) storage for your company, ReadyNAS allows you to do more
than you ever thought you could aord by pairing the latest in performance
with innovative eciency technologies such as unlimited snapshots, thin
provisioning and cloud-managed replication.

needs of small business users, ReadyNAS devices utilize proprietary ReadyCLOUD™
technology for cloud-based discovery, provisioning and even ongoing management.
In addition, these new devices are virtualization-ready with iSCSI support, thin
provisioning capability and certification with VMware and Microso.
