Open-E Network Attached Storage NAS-R3:

As data continues to grow, and the demands of network users and applications increase, organizations are looking for an alternative to Direct Attached Storage (DAS) and are realizing the benefits of Network Attached Storage or NAS. NAS systems are computing storage devices that can be accessed directly over the network allowing data to be easily shared and searched. NAS enables multiple users to share the same storage space simultaneously and minimizes overhead by managing hard disks centrally. In terms of design, a NAS server is simply a file server optimized for file system services.

The Open-E NAS-R3 software provides the best combination of ease of management, scalability, reliability and performance in a NAS system. The NAS-R3 software is an optimized and well-tuned operating system, which turns any server into a NAS storage server in about 10 minutes. NAS-R3 delivers significant performance and ease of use to enable any organization to simplify, centralize and automate their data storage. NAS-R3 can quickly and easily integrate into any data protection strategy.

Open-E NAS-R3 Key Benefits:

• Optimized Data Throughput and Performance
• Complete Cost Effective Data Protection
• Maximum Hardware Flexibility
• Secure, Fast, Easy Management
