Cisco NSS4000 4-bay Gigabit Storage System Chassis

Big-Company Storage at Small-Business Prices

Formerly Linksys Business Series, now Cisco Small Business Network Storage Systems, the NSS4000 Network Storage System allows companies or workgroups with small-business finances to store data like those with big budgets. With support for up to 15 users, groups can store, back up, share, and archive critical information. The NSS4000 comes optimized for performance and capacity, ready to fit a company's growing storage needs.

Where entry-level network attached storage (NAS) arrangements maintain operating system software on individual drives, the NSS4000 contains the Linux OS that controls it. This provides added stability, giving the device the flexibility to be reconfigured at any time, even without connected drives. This architecture makes the NSS4000 ideally suited for evolving companies undergoing consistent growth.

Additional features of the Cisco Network Storage System NSS4000 include:

• A four-drive bay network storage system chassis supporting RAID 0/1/1+Spare/5/5+Spare/10 and file encryption (AES 256)
• Microsoft Distributed File System support and network virtualization of RAID sets across NAS (requires at least 1 NSS6000/6100)
• Dual gigabit LAN interfaces supporting VLANs, QoS, Link Aggregation, and Spanning Tree
