19th June 2009 – Buffalo Technology, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of storage, wireless networking and memory solutions, today announces the launch of the TeraStation Duo. This is the company’s first compact dual NAS drive aimed at small businesses.
Designed specifically for SMBs, the TeraStation Duo is a feature filled NAS device that comes in 1TB or 2TB capacities. With built-in support for essential business applications such as Active Directory, and Apple Time Machine and an in-built WebAccess feature which allows for remote access to the unit via PC, Mac or iPhone via any internet connection.
Paul Hudson, Northern European Sales Director, Buffalo Technology, said: “Small office and home office environments are increasingly in need of more data storage capacity, but don’t necessarily have the space in which to house it. The TeraStation Duo is small and quiet, but provides all the features necessary to store, secure and back-up large amounts of data.”
To ensure that data remains safe at all times, the TeraStation Duo comes with RAID 1 and hot swappable functionality that automatically powers down a drive in the unlikely event of failure, allowing it to be safely removed and replaced without the loss of any data or the impact of downtime.
Hudson added: “We’ve made sure the TeraStation Duo is easy to use for any small business. There’s no need for an IT department – it’s simple to install, manage and use. Features like Hot Swop, Real time Replication and Quota Management make it ideal for businesses looking for reliable, cost-effective, redundant NAS storage.”
For businesses conscious of their environmental credentials, the TeraStation Duo includes a power management system to conserve energy use. The unit automatically powers up and down with connecting clients, reducing energy consumption by up to 66 per cent and lowering CO2 omissions. A controlled fan with a thermal sensor and a high cooling capacity chassis also reduces noise, making it perfect for the small business or home office environment.
The TeraStation Duo’s features include:
- High Speed Data Transfer up to 65MB/s
- Real time Backup Replication Function allows for reliability with fast recovery from hard drive failures
- Mirroring – a failover mechanism provides reliability for uninterrupted operation
- Quick Swap hard drive tray via the easy to remove, front panel
- Dual USB Ports
- Configure backup and restore by attaching a second TeraStation via the LAN or USB port
- In-Built DLNA Media Server, In-Built BitTorrent client and In-Built Print Server
- Disk Encryption – automatically encrypts data to level AES 128 bits
- 3 Years Warranty
