Pioneer DRM-6NX - Manual (Page 6)

The DRM-6NX also provides multi-platform support,
minimizing conflict between various operating
systems and software. By choosing the Pioneer
DRM-6NX, the administrator/manager is investing in
a low-cost solution with one of the largest potential
for growth, upgrading and flexibility. The DRM-6NX
supports Novell NetWare 5.0 and earlier. In addition,
the user will find the solution easy to manage, more
reliable, and able to maximize performance.
Also, since the DRM-6NX is an all-encompassing,
NAS unit that is as easy to manage as it is to install,
it does not necessarily require the skills of an IT
manager or network administrator to implement.
• Cost Savings:
Although the DRM-6NX and its benefits begin at the
network administrator or IT manager level, there is
also a direct benefit at the end-user or employee
level by having instantaneous access to an expanded
pool of shared resources. This affects the way a
worker can complete his or her tasks, the speed at
which they are accomplished, and increases overall
efficiency. This can contribute to increased
productivity and enhanced customer service abilities,
depending on the application.
The smoother and more efficient a company or
business operates, the better it increases its bottom
line and profitability. The DRM-6NX offers companies
the opportunity to invest in a sensible NAS solution
without the added costs of traditional storage. It also
streamlines time spent on management of the
solution, as well as provides the path to increased
company or business potential.
Target Markets & Opportunities
The NAS market offers a variety of ideal
opportunities for network caching solutions such as
the DRM-6NX. The range is virtually unlimited,
spanning from Corporate to small business, based
on individual needs.
On the small business front, the DRM-6NX may be
ideal for professionals requiring constant access to
vast reference materials, such as doctors, attorneys,
architects and engineers. However, other startup
companies, small government and home office

applications also show great potential. Network
caching can provide a competitive advantage when it
comes to overall efficiency and customer service.
For corporate applications, where security and data
protection are particularly important, the DRM-6NX
may be used as a cost-effective, simple system
addition for quick and easy file or database services.
Since there is no down time to add a DRM-6NX to a
network, and because the DRM-6NX can perform
the caching capabilities without affects on the users,
it further optimizes the use of company time and
resources.
These target users can span the major enterprise
and mid-size companies as well as smaller, fast-track
companies. Ideal markets include large government
and medical applications where use of CD-ROM
storage is increasing.
As the industry migrates towards the unique
offerings of NAS, resellers are finding an unlimited
market for network storage products such as the
DRM-6NX. Whether its for a complex Fortune 500
application, or for a small work group application,
being familiar with the unique benefits of NAS allows
a reseller to offer a competitive solution with more
flexibility and performance than ever before.
