Network Attached Storage (NAS) Rackmount Servers
eRacks/NAS servers are different from the rest - more flexible, more configurable, and tailored to your needs - and are growing as a result.
Our NAS servers allow all authorized users to access to company data 24×7, and eRacks/NAS servers help provide tremendous competitive advantages, increase levels of customer service, and extend the collaborative reach across any project, at any company.
A rackmount NAS, or Network Attached Storage device, is simply a rackmount server attached to a network, with appropriate software to make the storage on it accessible over the network in question to authorized users.
The network can be local, such as a LAN, small business, home, corporate or campus-wide network, or the Internet itself - with most use-cases including a combination of these.
NAS servers are flexible, and can scale out as well as scale up, meaning that as you need additional storage, you can add to what you have, instead of just getting a bigger one.
A NAS sever can be like having a faster, local private cloud in the office, or, installed at your colo (or hosted at eRacks' facility!), can be the basis for your private cloud itself. It’s faster, less expensive and provides all the benefits of a public cloud but on your site or at your disposal, giving you complete control, and complete privacy.
The key features of eRacks rackmount NAS Servers are,
- Simple to operate.
- No dedicated IT professional required to maintain.
- Lower cost.
- Easy data backup and it’s always accessible when you need it.
- Good at centralizing data storage in a safe, reliable way.
- Compatible with all OSes like, Unix/Linux, MacOS, Windows and Android.
NAS servers typically cost less than normal servers of the same storage level. This cost savings allows for more money in the budget to spend on other initiatives which could greatly benefit your small business and enterprises. Not only does the cost savings include the initial purchase, but NAS devices are typically far cheaper to maintain than other servers.
Unlike some other offerings our=t there, eRacks NAS rackmount servers include a fully-functional operating system, with full access to the OS's packagin system for additional applications - This allows you to install a variety of applications to extend the functionality of your rackmount NAS server including office security surveillance, backup services, disaster recovery backups, company knowledge base, etc.
Most NAS devices have their own Cloud service, which allows you to remotely access or even synchronize your data on devices with an internet connection. You can also share your data with others through the Cloud without a 3rd party needing to have any specific software on their end, and without Google, or others scraping your data.
