NETGEAR ReadyNAS NV + Specifications

ReadyNAS
A New Class of Network Attached Storage
ReadyNAS™ NV+ was designed specifically for home offices, small businesses and workgroups. Never
before has there been available a cost-conscience Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance packed
with robust high-end server features, including Gigabit Ethernet, hardware RAID, system monitoring
capabilities and built-in backup. ReadyNAS couples out of the box deployment and easy management
with robust file serving and data redundancy.
Easy Deployment and Management
With an easy web browser interface and setup wizard, ReadyNAS can be configured with minimal
effort — saving you valuable time. Traditional file servers can take hours to configure 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 notified.
Complete Data Protection
You already know how important it is to backup your pictures, digital media and business files, but the
truth is, you need it to be easy as well as bullet-proof. ReadyNAS was built to facilitate your backup
strategy.
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 protec-
tion 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 reconfiguring the system and shuffling the data. Addition-
ally, 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 files is
tedious and error-prone. With the help of EMC® Retrospect® backup and recovery software,
you can set automatic backups of all of your network clients – whether they are Windows, Mac
or Linux – to your ReadyNAS. Additionally, ReadyNAS includes an integrated backup manager
that enables one-button backup from your NAS appliance to external USB HDD for offsite
rotation, or to remote servers, if needed.

File Serving and 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 office can make
locating a particular file quite arduous.
ReadyNAS can bring all of that data together
for fast and easy file serving to multiple
clients simultaneously. If it's video or other
high-definition media you are working with,
you can use your ReadyNAS for streaming to
multiple devices at the same time.
Advanced System Design
The industrial design and ultra compact form
factor of the ReadyNAS makes it perfect for
any home office or small business. Standing
only 8 inches tall and 5 inches wide, it can fit
in any entertainment center or on any desk
without taking up much space or making
much noise. ReadyNAS also offers low power
consumption and a special energy-saving
mode that allows you to automate startup
and shutdown.
