PRODUCT OVERVIEW Built-in Active Directory and Primary Domain Controller: Small businesses need to keep their data secure and must be able to restrict user access to it. The Active Directory and Primary Domain Controller in the WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100 provide centralized management and security by authenticating and authorizing all users and computers on the network. It assigns and enforces security policies for all computers, so when a user logs into a computer that is part of a Windows domain, Active Directory checks the submitted password and determines what data the user is able to access. All inclusive data protection for small business: We combined hardware and software from industry leaders to deliver a reliable, secure and easy-to-manage all-in-one server designed specifically for small office environments. The WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100 features: Pre-configured Datacenter-class hard drives optimized for performance, quality and reliability. Protect your data on the 3.5" WD hard drives with either RAID (0, 1, 5, 10) or Windows Storage Spaces depending on user set up.
