The Iron IPDATA-WUDSS S150 is extremely simple, affordable, and reliable network storage solution that provides automation of storage management, seamless policy enforcement, and easy-to use reporting tools. It enables small and mid-size companies to easily manage, grow, and protect their data without requiring them to become storage experts.
- Business Ready. The one-of-a-kind Iron IPDATA-WUDSS Unified Storage System family has been designed specifically for small and mid-sized companies that are experiencing the challenges of rapid data growth, and has capabilities to meet the unique needs of smaller IT environments.
- “All-in-One” Network Storage Platform. Iron IPDATA-WUDSS is a platform designed for the integrated network attached storage (NAS) system where both file and block data (iSCSI) management become simple, scalable and flexible. It combines an enhanced Windows file server with a shared iSCSI storage array for application servers while keeping data safe and secure with integrated data protection software.
- Simplified, Centralized Storage Management. This fully integrated and unified storage system is designed to be deployed and managed by IT generalists with no storage expertise and delivers everything you need to lower the cost and complexity of rapidly growing data storage environments. The Unified Storage Manager (USM) software interface hides storage complexity and presents storage in an ‘application-centric’ view.
