Unified Storage with Enterprise Features at a Small
Business Price
Every ReadyDATA™ 5200 ships with
a full suite of advanced features
such as block-level replication,
deduplication, and thin provisioning.
With a maximum capacity of 240TB
and the dramatic performance
boost that comes from storage
tiering of SSD, SAS and SATA drives,
ReadyDATA redefines the concept
of storage for small and medium
businesses, remote offices/branch
offices (ROBO), and departments
within enterprise organizations.
Never before have so many
enterprise features come standard
on a unified storage device,
especially one with a price tag that
is comfortable for even the smallest
of IT organizations. The ReadyDATA
5200 is easy-to-use unified storage
from NETGEAR designed to address

serious data management issues with
a single system.
Common challenges the ReadyDATA
5200 is built to address include:
• Efficiently managing rampant
data growth with technology like
deduplication and compression
• Designing simple and cost-effective
disaster recovery plans with free
block-level replication
• Easily transitioning to virtualized
infrastructures with 10GbE and
virtual networking
In addition to being simple for IT
professionals to use, the all-inclusive
feature set and simplified packaging
of disk components make ReadyDATA
an easy solution to sell for
PowerShift™ partners.

Features
Scalable Capacity
The ReadyDATA family of unified storage was
built with the needs of a growing business
in mind. ReadyDATA 5200 is 2U, 12-bay
storage that supports 1TB, 2TB, 3TB, and

Each ReadyDATA 5200 can support up to
two expansion chassis (the 4U, 24-bay
ReadyDATA EDA4000), for a fully populated
capacity of up to 240TB. Also, new drives can
be easily added while the system is running
for seamless expansion on-the-fly.

Peak Performance
For meeting the differing needs of specific
applications, ReadyDATA 5200 users can add
SSD read and write caching to SATA, near-line
SAS, or SAS volumes for a stunning boost in
performance and flexible capacity.

interface support ensure that even in I/O
intensive virtual environments, network
bottlenecks are a thing of the past.
ReadyDATA 5200 also supports industrystandard file sharing protocols including iSCSI,
CIFS, and NFS.
