Cisco recently announced the launch of Cisco Smart Storage, a
family of affordable desktop network storage solutions with
integrated business applications. Cisco said that its Small
Business NSS 300 Series Smart Storage will provide end users with
an integrated, highly secure method to store and share critical
business data.
Cisco claims that the network attached storage device will provide
an efficient and manageable way to centralize, protect and share
information. The devices can provide up to 12 terabytes of capacity
with 2 terabytes drives. Higher capacities can be achievable as
larger disk drive capacities are qualified.
“The addition of these new devices will provide small
businesses with affordable, easy-to-use technology they require to
optimize productivity and drive growth,” said Ian Pennell,
co-chair, Small Business Council, Cisco.
Built-in applications include a user-configurable Web server with
an integrated WordPress publishing platform, and built-in servers
help simplify user authentication and management of the
network. On-disk data encryption helps protect critical
business data even if the hard drives are stolen, a business-class
feature that most small business storage solutions do not
provide.
The firm also claims that the devices can be set up in minutes and
are easy to configure and manage with a straightforward
browser-based interface.
Cisco Small Business NSS 300 Series Smart Storage list prices range
from USD 913 to 5,625 USD. The Cisco Small Business Pro Service is
149 USD for most NSS 300 Series configurations.
