NETGEAR ReadyDATA 5200 Series
Unified Network Storage

Overview:

Product Features:

Every ReadyDATA 5200 ships with a full suite of advanced features such as block-level replication, deduplication, and thin provisioning. Add expansion to at many as 180TB and the dramatic perforce boost that comes from supporting a mix of SSD, SAS and SATA drives within a volume, and ReadyDATA redefines the concept of storage for small and medium businesses, remote offices/branch offices (ROBO), and departments within enterprise organizations.

Never before have so many features come standard on an enterprise-class storage device, especially one with a price tag that is comfortable for even the smallest of IT organizations. The ReadyDATA 5200 is easy-to-use unified storage from NETGEAR designed to address serious data management issues with a single system.

Common challenges the ReadyDATA 5200 is built to address include:

• Efficiently managing rampant data growth with technology like deduplication and compression
• Designing simple and cost-effective disaster recovery plans with free block-level replication
• Easily transitioning to virtualized infrastructures with 10GbE and virtual networking

Scalable Capacity:

The ReadyDATA family of unified storage was built with the needs of a growing business in mind. ReadyDATA 5200 is 2U, 12-bay storage that supports 1TB, 2TB and 3TB drives for a total of 36TB capacity.

Each ReadyDATA 5200 can support up to two expansion chassis (the 4U, 24-bay ReadyDATA EDA4000), for a fully populated capacity of up to 180TB. Also, new drives can be easily added while the system is running for seamless expansion on-the-fly.

Peak Performance:

For meeting the differing needs of specific applications, ReadyDATA 5200 users can mix-and match SATA, near-line SAS, SAS, and SSD drives within volumes to provide a stunning boost to performance and flexible capacity.

Dual 10GbE ports and virtual network interface support ensure that even in I/O intensive virtual environments, network bottlenecks are a thing of the past. ReadyDATA 5200 also supports industry-standard file sharing protocols including iSCSI, CIFS, and NFS.

Advanced Data Management:

With data volume growing faster than ever before, the need to find more efficient ways to store and manage data is crucial. Unlike enterprise-class storage from traditional vendors, a full set of advanced data management technologies come standard with every ReadyDATA 5200.

A few of these advanced features include:

• Thin provisioning, compression and de-duplication of both block (SAN) and file data (NAS)
• Continuous data protection with unlimited snapshots
• Block level replication over WAN managed from the cloud for disaster recovery
