NetGear has long been one of the leading names in networking technology, utilising its extensive knowledge and expertise to create a number of innovative products over the years.
And it seems that its reputation as a key player in the industry shows little sign of wearing off any time soon, with the company using the recent turn of the year to unveil a number of new and exciting products.
ReadyNAS
NetGear has realised the importance of ensuring that businesses make the very most of their resources, particularly when it comes to storage.
Its ReadyNAS range promises to offer "the most storage bang for your IT buck", combining innovation with an easy-to-use top-end storage solution. Features include unlimited snapshots, thin provisioning and cloud-replication.
Security of data is also a key concern, with an anti-virus and encryption system offering five levels of protection.
The ReadyNAS 3130 contains a new 1U 4-bay storage device that runs on the award-winning ReadyNas OS 6 platform and is powered by an impressive Intel Atom processor.
It is mainly suited to high-performance backup, primary storage for virtualised environments, as well as file sharing for as many as 200 simultaneous users.
The 3130 is also an ideal way to help businesses move data offsite. Whether customers want to mirror information between two-high powered data centres or consolidate to a central office, the replication technology featured within the latest ReadyNAS models plays a key role in the success of such operations for businesses of any size.
The ReadyNAS 31342E offers many of the same benefits with the added advantage of 4TB of included storage, helping to maximise the efficiency of your storage solutions.
The cloud is also a key component of this device, allowing users to access data from anywhere and from any connected device.
Whereas there are normally a number of risks associated with such a method of working in terms of security, the ReadyNAS utilises the ReadyCLOUD platform, which creates a safe and inexpensive private cloud for your business.
Storage in the home too
The nature of the connected world means that securing data is now no longer a corporate concern, with many households now also keen to protect their most sensitive pieces of information.
The ReadyNAS 200, according to NetGear, comes with various state-of-the-art features, such a Dual Core Cortex A15 1.4 GHz processor, as well as 2 GB of Random Access Memory (RAM), dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and Link Aggregration technology.
NetGear claims it will soon be seen as "the ultimate way to store, stream, and protect your home data".
Indeed, access to files has never been faster, with speeds of 200 MBps allowing for rapid reading and writing speeds.
There are a number of great customisable options that means the ReadyNAS 200 can be specifically tailored to the needs of each and every user.
Additionally, the inclusion of disk spin-down means that energy bills are also reduced.
Switches also taking centre stage
Back in the office, another innovative new range from NetGear is the Chassis M6100 series, which delivers IPv4/IPv6 rich services ideal in systems used by small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
High performance is guaranteed by routing speeds of up to 1.4 Tbps, as well as 1,071 Mpps of intra-blade throughput.
Innovative distributed fabric also offers non-stop forwarding resiliency, including features such as a passive backplane, hitless failover, redundant fabric and redundant management, all without the extra costs associated with acquisition and maintenance that come with products by other networks.
