Organizations of every size must manage data created at headquarters and satellite

offices by staff who may be in transit or at remote locations. NETGEAR® ReadyDATA™

and ReadyNAS™ storage solutions provide a simple yet powerful way to centrally manage,

share, and synchronize data so that it’s up to date and available across the business.

These systems also reduce the risk of data loss that could result from a disaster, human

error, or other interruption.

NETGEAR ReadyDATA and ReadyNAS devices, powered by multi-core Intel® processors, offer a powerful

and cost-effective way to provide an all-in-one file server, storage device, and disaster recovery system.

They address many of the common challenges organizations face, including the ability to manage rampant

data growth while keeping existing data available and protected. These devices also play an important role

in business continuity plans.

Confronting Today’s Storage Challenges

Today, businesses require increasingly flexible storage solutions that break down data silos and help IT

departments avoid huge investments in hardware and software—particularly at branch offices with minimal

IT expertise or resources. Medical offices, law firms, financial services firms, and SMBs that operate in

multiple geographies can benefit from a modular storage management approach that incorporates features

such as tiered storage, snapshots, and thin provisioning to better match specific business requirements and

data management situations. In addition, businesses require solutions that accommodate numerous file

types, comprised of both structured and unstructured data.

As organizations look to adapt to more demanding business conditions, the ability to manage and share data

efficiently is critical, with a strong and growing need to replicate, synchronize, and manage disparate data

sources so that a workforce can share files dynamically. Improved data management can also usher in better

governance and compliance as well as advanced capabilities such as big data and analytics.
