Cloud Integration for Flexible Storage and Backup

Hybrid Cloud with TeraStation

You can use the TeraStation as a private cloud to easily back up data on the network, or integrate cloud services to the NAS storage to establish a hybrid cloud. The NAS server supports popular cloud services such as Amazon S3, Box, Dropbox, or Microsoft Azure/OneDrive that you already use.

 

Reap the full benefits of cloud by retaining greater control over storage capacity and scalability to store data as you see fit. You can also keep non-essential workloads and data in the cloud while storing sensitive or essential data in your local TeraStation NAS server for an extra layer of security.
