ReadyNAS Ultra versus PRO and Egnyte
I know that Egnyte is only certifying the PRO range, but the Ultra seems very similarly speced. Question 1: Has anyone actually tried any ReadyNAS Ultra and Egnyte? Is it possible to load the Egnyt...
Just got out of the meeting with engineering, here are the answers to your questions.
While it is technically possible to load Egnyte on Ultra devices, we have not had any customer cases of anyone doing so. And since there has not been any use cases, we cannot determine on how Egnyte will run on Ultra models.
Like you mentioned, the biggest difference between Ultra (home use) and Pro (business use) is the level of performance. Business ReadyNAS models have multi-core processors that allow them to have much stronger computing power to support larger data transfer, storage and synchronization. Running Egnyte on Ultra devices would see significant drop in performance that could hinder the full potential of utilizing a cloud file server.
Egnyte uses its own snapshot functionality, separate from the ReadyNAS.
Hope that answers your questions. Great discussion, keep them coming!
