Centralized Network Storage Server for Small Business
The Seagate® BlackArmor® NAS 440/420 is a smallbusiness-specic network storage server designed to provide
optimum uptime and data integrity for up to 50 workstations.
Hardware, software and services are combined to provide a
comprehensive solution for ensuring business continuity.
Performance that Keeps Pace with Your Business
The BlackArmor NAS 440 storage server makes no
compromises when it comes to hardware, with Seagate®
drives, 1.2 GHZ processor, 256 MB RAM and dual Gigabit
Ethernet ports, you will experience incredible performance
– including read speeds of up to 50 MB/s in RAID 5
conguration. The dual Gigabit Ethernet ports can also
be connected to your network in tandem for port failover
protection or use one for network connectivity and the other
for NAS to NAS replication.
The BlackArmor NAS 440 storage server includes four
energy efcient, reliable Seagate hard drives, which are easily
removeable without tools. Swapping a hard drive usually
involves screws, a screwdriver and a little elbow grease. But
with our unique cartridge system, you simply secure the drive
with pins attached to the cartridge and then slide the cartridge
into the drive bay. Since the drives are hot-swappable, there is
no need to shut the server down for maintenance or upgrades.
Expansion
The one front-mounted and three rear-mounted USB 2.0
ports allow you to connect external USB hard drives for
additional storage, manage off-site data rotation, easily
share a USB printer with all of your network connected
workstations or connect a UPS (uninterrupted power
supply) to safeguard from power failure.
Business-grade Protection
Software plays an important role in achieving
business continuity and with BlackArmor, you
can expect nothing less than business-grade.
To protect your critical data, our software
package provides scheduled and automatic,
incremental and full-system backup. In the
event of PC hardware failure, you can utilize
the bare metal restore feature to recover your
entire system, including the operating system,
programs and settings. The included software
also allows you to choose the level of security
that is right for your business, from individual
le to entire volume encryption. Furthermore,
the four drives can be congured to provide
your business with the optimal mix of
performance, redundancy and storage
capacity. Choose from RAID 0/1/5/10 &
JBOD conguration options.
You’re in Control
In addition to the included software, the web-based
management interface and BlackArmor® Discovery
tool are also straightforward to use. The BlackArmor
Discovery tool allows you to get up and running
quickly by displaying all of the BlackArmor NAS
products connected to your network. From the
discovery tool, with a single click, you can view or
map the shared volume to your computer, access
the web-based user interface or back up the PC
you are working from. The BlackArmor NAS 440
storage server can also be managed remotely with
DDNS, which can be congured with the web-based
management interface.
