Netgear ReadyNAS

Netgear ReadyNAS is a smart storage box that sits in your home or small office and keeps all your important files safe in one place. It works like a super-reliable digital filing cabinet that automatically backs up photos, videos, and documents from your computers and phones so nothing gets lost. It uses S3-compatible object storage in the cloud as an extra safe backup destination, quietly copying your files to remote servers that are protected against fires, floods, or hardware failures. This connection to S3 means your data stays available even if your ReadyNAS device breaks or gets stolen. The combination gives you both fast local access for daily use and rock-solid off-site protection without needing to understand complicated technology.
