Rich Castagna, Editorial DirectorThe business-class ReadyNAS products were designed specifically for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), especially those with tight budgets. The rack-mount ReadyNAS family comes with 1U 4-bay models as well as the 2U 12-bay models. All ReadyNAS business-class models also come with unified network-attached storage (NAS) and iSCSI storage architecture, data replication and offsite data archiving.
While the certification is nice to have and can inspire confidence, it is not an absolute necessity. "In theory, most interoperable shared iSCSI, SAS, Fibre Channel (FC) or NAS storage should work with the various hypervisors, however having a tested program helps to assure how well the product can integrate and coexist," said Schulz.
Pricing for the ReadyNAS product line starts at $1,000.
