Removable Disk Backup: Idealstor FrankeNAS

The FrankeNAS is a true disk to disk to disk backup solution that uses SATA disks for local RAID5 storage and as removable media to take the place of tape for offsite backup.

The FrankeNAS is a multi-functional appliance that uses half of its 4U capacity as a RAID 5 Array of drives with capacities up to 4.65 TB of storage. The other half of the unit is configured with up to 4 removable Idealstor drive bays allowing for any capacity SATA2 drive providing up to 7.44 TB* (Formated Capacity) of removable storage. This device allows backup administrators an all in one appliance where they schedule their backup jobs to run to the RAID 5 array for online storage and then offload that data to the Idealstor removable drives to physically take that data offsite for storage and compliance.

The FrankeNAS can be configured with up to 4.65 TB (Formated Capacity) of RAID5 storage and up to 7.44 TB* (Formated Capacity) of backup using 1-4 Idealstor removable Drives.
