SMC Announes TigerStore SMB NAS Storage Servers

SMC Networks has announced TigerStore SMB NAS Storage Servers. Designed for versatility, performance, ease of use and true reliability, the new SMCNAS04 has four SATA drive slots to accommodate up to 3TB of storage, and the SMCNAS24 has four 250GB drives built-in for a full terabyte of storage right out of the box.

SMC Networks' new TigerStore SMB series NAS Storage Servers (SMCNAS04/SMCNAS24) are designed to provide a complete storage solution for SMB and home network environments. Their high-speed networked storage capabilities — with the transfer rates of nearly 400Mbps — allow users across the network to access and share data files, music, pictures, and videos easily and without latency. Each SMC NAS Storage Server can accommodate up to four SATA hard disks — the SMCNAS24 comes pre-loaded with four 250Gigabyte drives; the SMCNAS04's disk slots are ready to be populated with the disks that work for each customers' needs, for up to 3Terabytes of shared network storage.

Easy to add to any network, management and security are a breeze to set-up and maintain via the Web-based user interface. Supporting Standard RAID 0, 1, 4, and 5 for fault tolerance, with future options for JBOD and BIG, SMC Networks' NAS Storage servers further ensure data integrity with the extra security that comes from UPS backup support and hard drive hot-swappability. Four Gigabit Ethernet ports make it the most versatile NAS on the market, making it easy for users to quickly and easily deploy additional data services in the office; and three USB 2.0 connections make it easy to expand network storage, provide additional backup services, or connect to a USB-UPS to provide temporary backup power in the event of a power failure. Other standard features of the TigerStore NAS Storage Servers include: FTP Server and USB Print Server features, disk space quota management, event logging, UPnP and DLNA support, media server capabilities, hardware health monitoring, and a full SMB backup software application that makes it simple and easy to implement a backup policy for small and medium businesses.
