Protect Your Business Data with High-Performance,

Affordable Storage

These days, investing in reliable data storage is a necessity for most small businesses. Your electronic data is growing fast, and you may also be subject to more stringent regulatory requirements for properly protecting your company information.

Cisco ® NSS 300 Series Smart Storage combines affordability with the high level of performance that you need to meet more demanding data protection requirements. Designed specifically for small business, it includes business-class features to protect stored data. Further setting it apart from other storage solutions, Cisco Smart Storage features built-in and add-on applications that extend usage beyond storage, giving you more value for your money. And to protect your investment, we offer the Cisco Small Business Pro Service, an affordable, comprehensive service that provides peace-of-mind coverage.

Cisco NSS 300 Series Smart Storage provides:

High performance: A network-attached storage (NAS) device is the most efficient and manageable way to centralize, protect, and share information. Cisco Smart Storage delivers class- leading performance, speeding backup and facilitating information sharing.

Built-in and add-on applications: Extend usage beyond storage with built-in applications and the ability to add new applications in the future. Built-in applications include a userconfigurable web server with integrated WordPress publishing platform and built-in syslog and RADIUS servers that help simplify user authentication and management of your entire network. Running applications like these on your NAS helps ensure that they are available at all times, and also eliminates the need for additional devices on the network.

Security and data encryption: Security measures on your

Cisco Smart Storage help ensure highly secure remote and web access while preventing unauthorized access. On-disk data encryption protects critical business data stored on disk even if hard drives are stolen, a business-class feature that most small business storage solutions do not provide.

Simplified configuration and management: Cisco Smart

Storage can be set up in minutes and is easy to configure and manage with a straightforward, browser-based interface.

Flexibility: Cisco Smart Storage supports file sharing across

Windows, Macintosh, and Linux platforms. Choose from multiple backup modes, including PC/Mac to Smart Storage, server to Smart Storage, or Smart Storage to Smart Storage. You can also use Cisco Smart Storage as an iSCSI target for virtualized and clustered environments.

Reliable, high-availability design: Cisco Smart Storage offers

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) 0, 1, 5, and 6 configurations, which help safeguard your data. The hot-swap design allows you to replace a failed drive without turning off the Smart Storage device.

Energy-efficient operation: Schedule power on and off according to your working hours, and conserve power with an Energy Star V rated power adapter and hard disk drives that spin down on inactivity.
