PRODUCT OVERVIEW Virtualize WD Sentinel storage using iSCSI Target: WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100 supports iSCSI. IT Pro's and advanced users have the ability to partition their WD Sentinel for both NAS File based storage as well as IP-SAN with the iSCSI Target. This capability enables the administrator to create multiple iSCSI targets to meet the specific needs of their dynamic IT environments. Enterprise-grade backup and restore software: The backup and restore software included with the WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100 saves time and space by performing a full Bare Metal backup the first time and then, through block-level deduplication, backs up only the data that has changed since the previous backup. In the event of a data loss or a drive failure on a client computer, the WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100's fast and easy restore function finds your files or lets you restore an entire system to get you up and running again. Local and remote automatic backup and restore is supported for both Windows and Mac OS® clients. Pre-loaded Boot Drive(s): WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100 comes with the 2.5-inch boot drive(s) pre-loaded with Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials and specialized hardware services and drivers. The pre-loaded boot drive(s) provides the ability to keep the OS running from the boot drive while redeploying or changing applications and folders running on the large capacity data drives. This allows small businesses to save time, as there is no need to install from a DVD or search for any specialized drivers to install online. Flexible Capacity: WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100 offers various storage capacities so you can choose the capacity option that's right for your business. It is also designed to be user serviceable, with the ability to buy 2 TB, 3 TB and 4 TB expansion/replacement kits and other parts. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports: WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100 comes with two Ethernet ports that can be configured for fault tolerance, aggregated for high performance, or used for two separate LANs. Dual power supply: WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100 offers dual power supplies, so in the event of a power surge or other failure damage to the internal power supply, the second power supply will take over, providing small businesses with the added peace of mind knowing that their server will remain operational. Choice of Disaster Recovery Options: WD Sentinel DS5100/DS6100 offers a choice of disaster recovery protection options providing small businesses with the peace of mind that their business data is secure. They can choose to protect their data using local disaster recovery through network share (LAN & WAN) or local disaster recovery through DAS.
