Effortlessly Integrating Network Attached Storage with Your Windows Environment

Windows Server IoT 2019 is an optimized version of Windows Server 2019 specifically designed for network-attached storage (NAS) devices. This operating system brings advanced storage management tools, enhanced data security features, and seamless integration with Windows devices and services. When paired with TeraStation, a NAS running Windows Server IoT 2019, businesses can enjoy the full benefits of Windows Server’s capabilities, providing a secure and efficient solution for data storage and backup needs, especially for SMBs (small and medium-sized businesses).

By leveraging the power of Windows Server IoT 2019, you can improve storage utilization, enhance security, and even create a flexible private cloud environment using a variety of cloud services—all while keeping costs down.

Lower Integration Costs with Windows Server IoT 2019 NAS

One of the standout benefits of using a Windows Server IoT 2019 NAS is the cost savings. Unlike other NAS devices or file servers that require Client Access Licenses (CALs), the TeraStation running Windows Server IoT 2019 does not need CALs. Typically, when using Windows Server, each user or device that connects requires a CAL, which can quickly become expensive for businesses with many users or devices. The TeraStation eliminates this cost, allowing seamless integration into your Windows environment without the need for additional licenses.

Moreover, since the NAS can integrate easily with any Windows-compatible application or service, you can start using it without much effort, ensuring it fits into your existing IT infrastructure and workflow smoothly.

Utilize the Flexibility of a Windows Environment

Because Windows Server IoT 2019 is part of the Windows Server family, it offers unmatched compatibility with commercial software and services that are widely tested for Windows use. This means you can install antivirus software or data backup tools directly on your NAS, giving you complete control over your data protection setup. You can configure the device to meet your specific requirements, ensuring it aligns with your business needs.

Additionally, Windows Server IoT 2019 supports native Active Directory, allowing for centralized user management. This makes it easy to handle multiple users without putting unnecessary strain on the NAS, streamlining administrative tasks and enhancing productivity.

Set Up an Affordable Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution

The integration of cloud services with your NAS can create an affordable and efficient Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution. Since the TeraStation is compatible with any Windows client, you can set it up to back up data to and from the cloud, archive local devices, or replicate data offsite for added protection. This simplifies backup processes and ensures your data is secure, both in the cloud and on physical storage devices.

Moreover, you can configure your NAS to back up Windows servers or cloud services such as Azure or OneDrive. By setting the NAS as an offsite replication location, you ensure your data is further protected, providing an additional layer of security in the event of data loss.

The Buffalo TeraStation with Windows Server IoT 2019

The TeraStation with Windows Server IoT 2019 is a versatile, cost-effective NAS solution that integrates seamlessly into your existing Windows environment. Its robust features allow businesses to manage and store data efficiently while also enhancing security through built-in file deduplication, compression, and other native features. The absence of CALs makes it a budget-friendly choice, ensuring that both storage and backup solutions are accessible without breaking the bank. Whether you are replacing an existing server or adding a new storage device, the TeraStation offers an easy-to-deploy, secure, and scalable solution that meets your needs.
