The Buffalo TeraStation 3020 series is a Network Attached Storage solution ideal for small businesses that are serious about protecting their valuable business data. No more backing up data to easily-misplaced thumb drives or having to deal with multiple tapes or external hard drives – the TS3020 series lets you take data protection to the next step. Designed for businesses that are around 25 users, the TS3020 series delivers similar features and functionality as more advanced NAS solutions from Buffalo while offering reliability and versatility to help your business grow. The TS3020 family ships with NAS-grade hard drives included, and the 4-bay rackmount and desktop models come in partially-populated options so you can fulfill your storage needs today while giving you the flexibility to expand later as you see fit. The hard drives have been rigorously tested to maintain steady operations in an always-on environment, and remain much more stable and reliable than standard desktop hard drives. Small businesses will especially enjoy the TS3020's features such as the 2.5GbE Ready Port that allow them to achieve the reliability and security typically reserved for enterprise-level organizations. No matter the size of your business, data protection should be of the highest priority. The TS3020 series supports both local and cloud-based backup strategies, and lets you automate your backup plan to save you time and money. Automation also ensures more consistent results should you need to recover data, saving you additional headaches. Data protection features such as optional data encryption as well as Buffalo’s integrated software, which ensures that hard drive data cannot be accessed on systems other than your TeraStation, provide additional security. For physical protection, the integrated Kensington security slot, drive bay panel lock, and Buffalo’s Boot Authentication software all serve to make sure your data cannot be accessed even if your unit is lost or stolen. TeraStation 3020 units ship with RAID pre-configured for streamlined out-of-the-box data protection to further provide reliability and save you time.
