Overview
The ReadyNAS team, the same group that first introduced the ReadyNAS
600 in January 2005 — the world’s smallest RAID 5 network attached
storage appliance at the time, X-RAID™ in August 2005 — the easiest
expandable volume technology, and the ReadyNAS NV in February of 2006 —
the ultimate shrinking of a 4-disk NAS, now introduces the next
great thing — the small, beautiful, and monstrous 6-bay ReadyNAS
Pro.
At first glance, the Pro can be mistaken
for a sophisticated AV equipment, perhaps a compact subwoofer that you
might put right next to your finest component stereo system. Swing
open the signature ReadyNAS mesh door, and six hot-swappable drive bays
greet you, waiting to be fed. There’s no mistaking this device is going
to hold a ton of data. With today’s 1.5 TB disks, you’re talking 9 TB
of raw capacity! Plug it in, and it roars to life, showing how serious
it can get about cooling and how serious it can get about keeping your
data safe. And just as you admire the beautiful blue OLED display
behind the black tint, the Pro suddently becomes stealthly quiet. You
wonder if the power had just went out, but you realize the Pro is still
on, now with the OLED graphically showing exactly where your drives are
and how much space are at your disposal.
The importance of protected storage
With everything now being stored digitally, a simple disk failure
can be catastrophic, especially with the large capacity disks that are
certainly the norm these days. And it really is not a matter of if but
when
you will have a massive data loss. Your whole family history captured
on photos and videos will be lost at an instant. Your business will
lose important documents and customer data and if you are lucky it will
only cost your company with project delays, loss revenue and
productivity. At the very worse, data loss can cost the company its
livelihood. If the data is recoverable, it can be a time-consuming and
expensive proposition. Ask yourself if your small or medium-size
business can survive this sort of loss. Understandably, there’s a
growing need for protected storage. If people don’t
know what RAID (“Redundant Array of Independent Disks”) is today, they
will find out soon enough. RAID is simply a way of pooling disks into
one big virtual disk. If one of the disks in that pool fails, the data
from the failed disk can be resurrected by the parity information kept
on the surviving disks in the pool. In simple terms, this means that if
one disk fails, access to your data is still intact. The cost of
safe-guarding your data comes at a price of one disk capacity,
regardless of whether your RAID volume consists of two drives or six
drives. For example, a ReadyNAS with six 1 TB drives will have a
protected capacity of 5 TB. With the price of disks being relatively
cheap and data loss and recovery being so expensive, it’s really
foolish not to use protected storage that RAID provides.
Pro comes with X-RAID2
The ReadyNAS Pro goes actually a step further than just
RAID. It uses an ingenious technology developed by NETGEAR called
X-RAID2™, a 2nd generation X-RAID technology that has been used in the
existing award-winning line of ReadyNAS products. With X-RAID2, you
can expand your data volume from one disk all the up to six disks while
the ReadyNAS is online. In a work environment, that means you don’t
have to tell your staff to stop working while you’re trying to
accomodate more capacity.
And once you’ve filled out all six slots and you’re
near capacity, you can continue to expand by replacing out the disks
one-by-one with larger disks, again, without needing to migrate your
data out and back again. X-RAID2 will automatically expand when as
little as two of your disks have extra capacity. Your data volume can
keep growing every time you add a larger disk after that. It’s as
simple as that — you don’t need a degree in RAID technology to do
this. For a video demo about X-RAID2, click on the image below.
Other NAS may tout that they have “online” RAID
expansion just like X-RAID, but take a closer look and you’ll see it’s
just not quite that simple. Not only are there complex RAID migration
steps involved, but they don’t
mention that if you encounter a power loss during the process, you can
say goodbye to your data for good.
With X-RAID2, you can turn off the power as many times
as you want during the expansion, and it’ll continue where it left off.
The Pro is F-A-S-T
Mind-blazingly fast, that is. When was the last time
your network drive was faster than the disk on your PC or Mac? To
properly measure the performance potential in our performance lab, we
had to utilize a large ramdisk or a RAID 0 with 3 striped disks on our
client boxes. The local disks were clearly not fast enough to push the
Pro.
With the proper setup, we clock it at 100+ MB/sec in
both directions (that’s megabytes per second), and that’s with the Pro
running in a protected X-RAID2 setting. With that type of speed, you
can be sure it can handle a boat load of users and not suffer
performance degradation like other devices would.
And just for kicks, we attempted to stream HD content
(1080P for good measure) to various PCs and Macs. Not that you would
do this, but we got 14 streams running beautifully off one Pro.
Our tests show the Pro is at least two to four times
faster than any other NAS in its class. Which means it’s a device you
don’t have to throw out and replace in a couple years. Take a look at
the Performance
section for what you can expect in various network and RAID
configurations.
Pioneer and Business Editions
Quite simply, the Pro was meant to be a business-only
product. That is until the ReadyNAS user community told us otherwise.
The feedback was overwhelming — the advanced home users really
really wanted the Pro. Well, we listened intently, as we
normally do, and we’re now offering the ReadyNAS Pro in two flavors —
the Business Edition and the Pioneer Edition.
The Business Edition comes preloaded
and properly burned-in with drives in popular configurations for the
business sector, with features such as Active Directory, snapshot,
iSCSI² and others that we deem important for the business environment.
The Pioneer Edition comes only in
diskless form, allowing the advanced home enthusiasts and SOHO
customers to load their own drives as desired. And best of all, we’ve
kept the price affordable for those who prefer to do their own
installation.
Pro Business Edition at work
The ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition is all business, and
it comes with 2 security levels suitable for environments with and
without Active Directory service. Joining into an existing Active
Directory environment is a snap, and within a few clicks, all existing
users and groups from the directory can start using the ReadyNAS.
In addition, the Pro Business Edition comes with snapshot
support.
Consider a snapshot as an instant point-in-time image of your data,
sort of like a photo you take with a camera. Regardless of the number
of files or the volume usage on the ReadyNAS, a snapshot only takes a
couple of seconds, and you can continue using the ReadyNAS without
interruption. If you inadvertantly change or delete files after you’ve
taken a snapshot, you can always revert to the version saved in that
snapshot. Just drag & drop files back from the snapshot share.
This can be useful if your files were infected with a virus and you
needed to revert back to a good copy.
A snapshot can also be scheduled to coincide with your
backups. Typical backups can take hours, so a backup of a snapshot
insures that you’re making copies of files that won’t be changing
during the backup process.
On the subject of backup, the ReadyNAS comes with a
built-in backup manager supporting a variety of file protocols,
including CIFS, NFS, HTTP, FTP, and RSYNC. And because the backup
manager runs right on the ReadyNAS, you don’t need to load a separate
backup software on your client systems.
With iSCSI² support, the Pro can act as an iSCSI target
while still working as a NAS. This allows your Exchange or Oracle
database to use a portion of your data volume for iSCSI, yet maintain
the rest of the volume for file sharing. And in environments where
Windows ACLs are required, iSCSI gives you that extra level of
compatibility.
And the Pro Business Edition allows the dual gigabit
Ethernet interfaces to be bonded for optimal performance in multi-user
environments and provide failover support in case of network failure.
As you can see, the ReadyNAS is well-suited in business
environments. In fact, you can take a look at several case studies on
how the ReadyNAS has succeeded in businesses here.
Pro Pioneer Edition in the home
With the number of computers in an average household
approaching four or more, the need to consolidate storage and backup
into one device, like the ReadyNAS Pro, is a definite appeal,
especially if that device can provide versatility beyond just file
sharing and data protection.
In the home, ReadyNAS systems are without a doubt the
choice of the AV community. Not only does the Pro provides ample
protected storage for all the digital media content, it can be used to
stream to all popular media streaming devices, often referred to as
DMAs (“Digital Media Adapters”) without the need to have you PC or Mac
powered on. The trend definitely is to use low power-consuming devices
like the ReadyNAS (more on this later) in place of general-purpose
power-hungry desktop systems for streaming.
This means devices like PS3, XBOX 360, Logitech
Squeezebox, SONOS Digital Music System, and NETGEAR’s own EVA 8000
Digital Entertainer HD can all play media files straight from the Pro.
Stream all you want — the Pro is designed to handle even the most
demanding streaming applications with ease.
And instead of cluttering the house with a printer for
each computer, you can use the built-in print sharing capability of the
Pro to share your printer(s) on your network. There’s no need to
purchase a ton of expensive ink cartridges when you can now consolidate
your printing to one or two printers. Just connect your printer to any
of the three USB ports on the Pro, and you’re set to go.
Features
The ReadyNAS Pro feature set is driven by the common RAIDiator
firmware that is used across all ReadyNAS products. RAIDiator provides
a myriad of features not found in other network storage devices. Let’s
go through some of the prominent ones.
Auto-Expandable X-RAID2
There’s really no need to understand RAID on a
ReadyNAS. The Pro comes pre-configured with X-RAID2, NETGEAR’s
exclusive automatic expandable RAID technology. With X-RAID2, complex
RAID management is a thing of the past!
For instance, let’s say you started out with one disk
and you treat the ReadyNAS as secondary storage for backups. If one
day, you want to make the ReadyNAS a primary storage, it’s prudent to
make the storage protected. To do this, you simply
secure a 2nd disk with 4 screws to the disk tray and hot-add the disk
while the system is still running (you can do this while the system is
powered off if you want). Your data on the first disk will
automatically mirror to the 2nd disk in the background while the
ReadyNAS is still available for access on your network.
Now if you’re close to reaching the capacity on your
ReadyNAS, just add a 3rd disk, and your volume expands on the fly,
giving twice the original capacity, and maintaining protection from a
disk failure. And again, if you add a 4th disk, your ReadyNAS will
triple in capacity, and so on until the 6th disk.
That’s not all with X-RAID2. If you find that you’re
close to capacity on the six disks, just replace two of the disks one
by one, allowing it to sync along the way, and just reboot the ReadyNAS
to expand the data volume. You can continue to replace each of the
lesser capacity disk and reboot to gain more capacity after that.
Media Server
The ReadyNAS can stream music, video, and photos to just about any
popular network-capable media streaming device without the need to turn
on your PC or Mac. Just drag & drop your media files to the
ReadyNAS and play them on your streaming device, whether it’s a
Playstation 3, XBOX 360, NETGEAR’s
own EVA 8000, or pretty much any DLNA-compliant device.
Small wireless music streamers have also become popular in the home,
and the ReadyNAS can be central to serving music files to these
devices. The Logitech Squeezebox, SONOS Digital Music System, and the
Roku SoundBridge are just some of the players supported by the
ReadyNAS, right out of the box.
As more and more of these thin devices start showing up, there’s no
question that the ReadyNAS makes a perfect solution for your streaming
network. There’s simply no other device out there that is more flexible
for media streaming, period.
Music Sharing with Apple iTunes Server
With the built-in Apple iTunes 7.0 server, the ReadyNAS can be used
as a large shared jukebox. With the iTunes service enabled, iPods,
iPhones, and PCs or Macs running iTunes can access the shared music
library stored on the ReadyNAS.
Unique Add-ons expands the ReadyNAS further
The ReadyNAS family has a unique add-on capability that can expand
on the current feature set. ReadyNAS Photos and the BitTorrent are just
two examples of add-ons currently available. Add-ons from NETGEAR,
NETGEAR partners, and the ReadyNAS Community are sure to keep your
ReadyNAS on the cutting edge.
Network Recycle Bin
Windows users accustomed to the Recycle Bin on their PC will love
the Recycle Bin on the ReadyNAS. If you’ve ever inadvertantly deleted a
file, you know the feeling of anxiety as you frantically search for a
backup somewhere. With the Recycle Bin option on the ReadyNAS, you can
relax, because your deleted file will be found in the Recycle Bin of
your ReadyNAS share.
Centralized Backup
If you’re looking to centralize your backups, the
ReadyNAS has a web-based Backup Manager
built right into Frontview. From there, you have the option of
scheduling backups to or from the ReadyNAS shares. You can opt to
backup from a remote site over CIFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, or RSYNC
protocols, or similarly backup the ReadyNAS share to a remote site. You
can even perform backups between the ReadyNAS and an attached USB disk
drive or to another ReadyNAS.
Programmable Backup Button
If you think we’re obsessed about backups, you might be
right. Another option for backups is through the use of the backup
button on the front of the ReadyNAS. By default, pressing the button
will backup your backup share on the ReadyNAS to the
attached USB storage device connected to the USB port right below the
button.
If you prefer, you can assign any or all of the Backup
Manager backup jobs to the Backup Button. If you press the button, all
jobs assigned to the button will run sequentially.
Alerts let you know what’s going on
Your data is important and you need to be aware of any anomaly on
the ReadyNAS. Rest assure that the email alert system will let you know
what’s going on. You will be notified when a disk fails, when a disk
overheats, when a disk encounters warning signs of failure, when a fan
fails, when a user or group reaches a disk quota limit, and when your
volume is near capacity. It’ll even alert you in case the attached UPS
is on battery. You can rest assured that ReadyNAS systems are
well-prepared for non-ideal conditions just as it’s able to function
optimally in ideal conditions.
Easy disk replacement eases the stress of a disk failure
Disk failure is inevitable, so when that time comes, you certainly
don’t want to have to fumble your way through trying to disassembling
your device. With the Pro, simply press on the latch to release the
disk tray, remove 4 screws that attaches the disk to the tray, replace
with a new disk, and insert the disk back into the chassis, all while
the unit is powered on. There’s no need to power off the chassis, and
there’s no need to worry about downtime. Once the new disk is in
place, the disk is resync’d in the background to provide full
protection from another disk failure.
Integrated with smart UPS monitoring
Ever wonder what happens when the power goes out for a little too
long and the UPS battery is drained? The ReadyNAS constantly monitors
the UPS battery level and sends alerts whenever there’s a power
interruption. And when the battery runs low, the ReadyNAS shuts down
gracefully, avoiding any file corruption caused by unwritten cached
data. Just use a UPS from the ReadyNAS compatibility list, connect the
USB monitoring cable to the ReadyNAS, and everything else is taken care
of automatically.
Definite advantages to file system journaling
The ReadyNAS journals each write request to the data volume, meaning
it constantly keeps track whenever writes occur. What does this do? In
case of an unplanned power outage, the ReadyNAS is able to bypass the
bulk of the file system checking and quickly bring the volume back
online in a matter of seconds. Without journaling, it can take hours to
go through the file system check. With journaling, you can prevent
long downtime for your staff.
Shutdown on disk failure
The ReadyNAS is designed to keep running in the event of a disk
failure. However, you do have an option to automatically shutdown the
box in case a failure is detected. This is just another peace-of-mind
option to prevent the ReadyNAS from encountering another disk failure
until the failed disk can be replaced.
Quotas on disk usage
The ReadyNAS supports disk quotas on a per-user or per-group basis.
Even with terabytes of storage, certain users or groups of users may
abuse the usage norm. The quota system allows you to specify how much
space each user or group is allowed to use on the ReadyNAS, and the
guilty party and the ReadyNAS admin will be duly notified of any
violation.
Convenient online updates
The ReadyNAS comes integrated with an easy online update feature.
There’s no need to download a firmware image from a website and
manually upload it to the device. Just go to the Remote Update page in
FrontView, click to check if there’s an available update, and click
again to confirm. That’s it!
Add to that the option to automatically download any new updates,
and all you need to do is reboot the ReadyNAS at your convenience to
get the latest new features and bug fixes.
ReadyNAS speaks eight languages
That’s 7 more than what most of us speak! All you need to do is set
your browser to one of the supported languages (English, Japanese,
French, German, Chinese/Mandarin, Korean, Russian, or Portuguese), and
the FrontView web-based management system will display in that language.
Mac users love the ReadyNAS
Unlike other NAS that support Macs through a Windows SMB/CIFS
protocol, the ReadyNAS supports the protocol that works best with Macs
— AFP. With AFP, non-standard characters in filenames work perfectly,
and resource information that would cause problems over SMB is not an
issue.
Secure logins
You never know who might be sniffing network packets, even behind
the firewall. Rest assured that all logins to the ReadyNAS are
encrypted whenever possible, including the login to the FrontView Setup
Wizard and Advanced Control management system.
Remote Access
With so much data on the ReadyNAS, it’s certainly desirable to
access that data remotely. The ReadyNAS allows this via FTP and HTTP,
and the more secure and SSL encrypted form via FTPS and HTTPS, with
appropriate port forwarding on your router. Simply use your favorite
FTP/S client to connect to the ReadyNAS FTP server, or use your browser
to access the built-in Web File Manager via HTTP/S. In addition, the
ReadyNAS supports WebDAV, allowing drag & drop file explorer
support over LAN or WAN. A simple tutorial on how to do this can be
found here.
And with Wake-On-LAN support, you can wake and boot
up your ReadyNAS Pro remotely from a power-off state.
Low power consumption
It’s nice to see a lot of companies start thinking about making their
products green. It’s now the in
thing to do. Well, the ReadyNAS product line has always been green even
before there was a push by regulations and consumer demand. For
instance, in an idle state, the Pro with one disk consumes 47W and with
six disks consumes 74W of power. It’ll take a few more watts when there
is disk activity. In disk spin-down mode, the Pro consumes only 41-45W,
depending on the number of disks in the system. Furthermore, if you use the automatic power-on
timer,
you’ll save even more. For instance, if you plan on accessing the
ReadyNAS only during an 8-hour window each day, your average usage of
the box can be much lower. All without compromising performance.
And if you will be on the road, you can simply shut off the ReadyNAS
Pro. When you need to access it, you can use the
Wake-On-LAN
feature to wake it up. Now, that sure beats running a PC, a monitor,
keyboard and mouse at around 100W or more 24/7.
