NETGEAR Releases ReadyNAS 2312 12-Bay 1U NAS

NETGEAR isn’t the first company most people think of in regards to high-density storage, but their ReadyNAS series has been around for quite a while. The newest addition to the series, the ReadyNAS 2312 is far from ordinary. It is an industry-first 12-bay 1U rackmount unit.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS RR2312

ReadyNAS 2312 is the industry’s first 12-bay NAS in a 1U form factor, a design that represents the highest density storage solution in the market. ReadyNAS 2312 is ideal for data backup, file serving, archiving, cloud storage and IP-based surveillance video management and recording.

The 12-bays can be connected via four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for plenty of bandwidth and failover.

“The ReadyNAS 2312 is currently the market leader in dollar per terabyte ratio in network attached storage,” says Richard Jonker, vice president of SMB product management at NETGEAR, “We designed this product specifically to address the growing need for large and scalable storage capacity, with emphasis on compact dimension, data reliability, and ease of management. Our early customers have told us that this is ideal for data backup and surveillance video management, but also for cloud storage offers by managed service providers, or archiving.”

ReadyNAS 2312 is based on the BTRFS file system and offers the complete set of business features of ReadyNAS OS, including virtualization support, RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It also supports NETGEAR’s own XRAID to protect against hard disk drive failure while maximizing drive capacity utilization; snapshot to protect against operational error; a built-in anti-virus solution; bit rot protection against media degradation; and cloud backup.
