Getting to Know Your WD Sentinel RX4100 Server
Congratulations on your purchase of the WD Sentinel RX4100 Small Business Storage
Server. Whether you’re an IT expert or not, WD Sentinel RX4100 is easy to install and
provides secure unified storage (NAS and iSCSI SAN), complete data protection for up to 25
computers, and remote file access for your employees and trusted vendors while in the
office or from anywhere.
Key Features
Easy installation: The easy setup process allows you to integrate WD Sentinel RX4100 into
your office network like a pro. The administration dashboard quickly guides you through the
process including adding users, setting up data access, creating shared folders, and
scheduling backups.
Easy administration: WD Sentinel RX4100 is the ideal storage server for small business in
1U rack mountable design. Its easy administration features include four drive bays with hot
swappable design; redundant user-serviceable power supplies; user-serviceable fans and
email alerts. In the event that an IT professional’s assistance is needed, the WD Sentinel
RX4100 allows them to manage the server remotely. Now that’s easy!
Comprehensive data protection for your entire office has never been easier.
The drives inside: Pre-configured with hard drives optimized for reliability, quality and
performance.
RAID: Pre-configured with RAID 5 for added data protection and drive redundancy.
Automatic backup and restore software for Windows® clients: The included
backup software saves time and space by performing a full Bare Metal Backup the first
time and then automatically backing up only the data that has changed since the
previous backup using block-level deduplication technology. In the event of a data loss
or a drive failure on a client computer, the WD Sentinel RX4100’s fast and easy restore
function finds your files or lets you restore an entire system to get you up and running
again quickly.
Time Machine backup support for Mac OS® clients: WD Sentinel RX4100 offers
seamless support for backing up Mac OS clients to your WD Sentinel server using the
Apple Time Machine backup utility.
Dual Ethernet ports: Comes pre-configured in Adaptive Fault Tolerance, which keeps
your network available by automatically switching to the second Ethernet port if the first
one should fail.
