Overview
Thank you for choosing the ALLNET ALL6800 NAS Disk Server. The ALLNET
ALL6800 is an easy-to-use storage server that allows a dedicated approach to
storing and distributing data on a network. Data reliability is ensured with RAID
features that provide data security and recovery—over one Terabyte of storage is

efficiency, allowing the ALL6800 to take over file management functions, increase
application and data sharing and provide faster data response. The ALL6800
offers data mobility with a disk roaming feature that lets you hot swap working
hard drives for use in another ALL6800, securing the continuity of data in the
event of hardware failure. The ALL6800 allows data consolidation and sharing

ALL6800’s user-friendly GUI supports multiple languages.
