The TeraStation 6000 is a VMware-ready file server and iSCSI NAS solution that offers capacities ranging from 8TB to 32TB.

Partially-populated 4-bay models come with 2 NAS-grade HDDs and 2 empty drive bays that can be filled at any time. This allows businesses to have a secure, effective NAS device that can meet their current and future needs. Users with a discerning budget can buy it to fit their immediate storage needs, while staying nimble for future expansion.

The TeraStation 6000 supports cloud integration with Dropbox, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft OneDrive. By integrating third-party public cloud services with existing storage environment, you can implement a hybrid cloud, which can help optimize costs, security, and control by leveraging the security of local storage and the cost savings of public cloud.

For flexibility, this NAS Series supports the company’s free Remote Management Service, an online portal that allows businesses to manage their NAS directly through a central location. Users can use the service console to remotely access and monitor NAS, as well as perform remote operations such as restarting a device or updating its firmware without needing to physically visit the device, reducing physical workload.

The TeraStation 6000 boasts several backup features to protect data. The included snapshot feature, allows users to create full virtual copies of data that can be restored from any point in time, is a game changer to combat the common occurrences of essential files being overwritten or deleted due to user error. Snapshots are also an effective tool to curb the rising threat of ransomware. Ransomware works by attacking your system and locking you out of your files. In the event of a ransomware attack, you can choose to restore specific files (or even the entire storage volume) to a previously uninfected state instead of having to deal with the hassle of a full restore.

Other data protection features include utilizing copy-on-write to further reduce backup errors when updating files, and direct iSCSI replication and backup capability – a backup feature where you can directly connect a TS6000 to another TS6000 device on the network to backup its data. This feature allows you to transfer data through a separate, closed network, which reduces server bandwidth and workload. The device also features a duplex firmware solution where if a HDD experiences any issues, the firmware can be recovered in most cases without losing data on the drive. Additional security features for are Boot Authentication, 256-bit AES encryption and closed OS.

The TS6000 features a 2.1GHz quad-core CPU, 8GB ECC RAM, a built-in 10GbE port, and NAS-grade HDDs. It comes with a standard 3-year warranty, which can be extended to 5 years with optional warranty services, and is backed by the firm’s customer service, including North America-based 24/7 support and the company’s data recovery service.
