protection, as well as Windows ADS authentication, USB printer sharing,
dynamic website hosting, and data backup. RS408 keeps business data available

Keeping Data Available 24/7
RS408 is designed to serve continual data access for
corporate users. The hot swappable hard drives are easily replaceable when
hard drive failure occurs. Data is available 24/7.
Speedy & Flexible
RS408 provides speedy data transmission and powerful
computing capability, which is not only suitable for corporate environments
that demand on efficiency, but also a great choice for power users who
massively access data on the server.
Work with Windows ADS
RS408 is compatible with Windows ADS and NT4 domain. Windows
domain users are able to access data shared from RS408 when they pass the
Active Directory authentication. This will greatly save your time on creating
large amount of accounts for the domain users.
Flexible Storage Management
RS408 allows you to create RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 5 volume
on it. For budget-sensitive users, RS408 has the flexibility to assemble
smaller hard drives first, and expand RAID 1 or RAID 5 volume by replacing
existing hard drives with larger ones one by one when the budget is allowed.
When the hard drives on RS408 are full, you can expand more
storage simply by attaching an external hard drive to the USB port of RS408.

SSL" or "FTP over TLS" option. HTTPS support encrypts all HTTP connections
with SSL transport mechanism. Encrypted Network Backup ensures Network Backup
is done with encrypted data transmission. You won’t be worried about critical
data being exposed in danger.
