Network Attached Storage Solution
Key Features:
• 1U 19” Rack-Mountable Intelligent Chassis
• 4 Hot-Swappable SATA Hard Drive Bays
• Support for PC/Mac (SMB/CIFS)
and Linux/Unix (NFS) clients
• Support for RAID 0,1,5,10, and JBOD
configurations
The intelligent chassis design of the Linksys Network Storage System (NSS) series of products gives IT managers,
VARs and integrators the flexibility to configure or reconfigure a storage system for specific business requirements.
A Linksys Business Series NSS product can be optimized for performance, capacity and/or reliability depending on
the size and type of SATA (Serial ATA) drives selected or included. Supporting as many as 15 or 75 concurrent CIFS
users, Linksys Business Series NSS products bring robust Network Attached Storage (NAS) within reach of today’s
budget-minded small businesses or workgroups in larger organizations.
Linksys Business Series NSS devices are ideal for storing, backing up, sharing and archiving critical company or
customer information on an on-going basis. The feature set of the rack-mountable Linksys NSS series set it
apart from entry-level, desktop NAS systems. At the same time, its competitive pricing gives small businesses
the opportunity to realize substantial cost savings when compared with more expensive and inflexible storage
systems.
Unlike other NAS systems that need to contain operating system software on one or more hard drives, each
Linksys NSS product features a unique and intelligent chassis that contains the Linux OS that controls the system.
This gives the NSS system the flexibility to be configured without connected drives and reconfigured at any time,
even hot swapping and resorting hard drives to different storage bays.

Small Business
Hard drives on employee workstations are backed up to Network Storage Systems (NSS4xxx or NSS6xxx).
Employees also use the NSS units to share and retrieve business-critical data.
Each Network Storage System chassis includes two Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports that can be connected to Gigabit
Ethernet ports on a Gigabit Switch, like the
Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch with PoE (SGE2000P). This
capability enables companies to back up hard drives at a much quicker rate and helps to eliminate data trac
bottlenecks (see also Link Aggregation below).
Employees accessing the network wirelessly through a
Wireless Access Point (WAP4400N) connected via Power
over Ethernet (PoE) to a PoE Switch like the SGE2000P, can collaborate on les or projects residing on the NSS devices
giving them the freedom to move around the oce and attend meetings while still completing work.
Network Storage Systems can be used to archive surveillance video that the
Wireless Camera (WVC2300) captures
and then retrieve it as necessary if an event needs to be reviewed or examined.
Link Aggregation - When two or more Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports are combined together to increase the
throughput capacity from switch to switch (or from switch to an NSS device with Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports).
Link Aggregation is especially useful to speed along multiple user PC hard drive back ups to company servers or
storage devices.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) - PoE Switches can deliver power to PoE-enabled devices like Wireless Access Points or
IP Phones through their Ethernet ports. These switches have built-in safeguards to poll connected end devices for PoE
capability before delivering power. PoE enables companies to position Wireless Access Points virtually anywhere in their
buildings when power outlets are not available or to achieve best possible wireless signal coverage for employees.
PoE also enables PoE enabled phones to be placed or relocated to any area throughout a building.
