Document Management - is ReadyNAS suited?

My client is loosing their cloud based document management system in 3 WEEKS!!!

I am urgently looking at alternatives, and wonder if a ReadyNAS option would be able to provide suitable alternative.

Basic requirement that comes quickly to mind:

  • Accessible via web - customer is geographically distributed

  • Version control for documents

  • Document check locking for in/out for editing

  • Windows + Mac access


This is very urgent for me so a quick reply would be appreciated.

    Sort of, but not exactly with the built-in capabilities.

    Readynas remote can handle remote access, but I wouldn't exactly call it robust.

    Version control and check in/out? Not really builtin.

    Maybe the Egnyte/Readynas solution can address your needs. Not 100% sure.

    Yes, Egnyte + ReadyNAS can definitely do all of that.
    The Egnyte add-on works with the ReadyNAS device to enable file access, storage and sharing from anywhere.
    The cloud file server capability is especially useful for:
