The RPC16 NAS incorporates a removable magazine with up to 16 SSDs or HDDs which can be removed to off load data. The magazines can then be moved to separate locations and plugged into another RPC16 on any other network for further analysis.

Features of RPC16 NAS:

• Reliable, high-speed data capture
• Compact 2U rack height, shallow 19.5″ rack depth
• Highly available and resilient architecture
• Quickly upload data with removable drive magazine
• Up to 122TB storage capacity
• AES-256 hardware and file level encryption
• FIPS140-2 validation
• Secure erase/data elimination
• MIL-STD-810G certified
• Made in USA

The RPC16 NAS allows networked devices to share and store data using all common network services. It supports a variety of network-based file systems that allow multiple hosts to share and store information. Network connections are provided through load balanced Ethernet ports, available from Gb/s to 100Gb/s, and can support multiple optical (or copper) Ethernet ports for low EMI susceptibility.
