WD is expanding its NAS portfolio with the WD Sentinel DX4200 storage server, a solution based on the Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 workgroup operating system and the Intel Atom C2338 Dual Core CPU. The WD Sentinel DX4200 offers up to 16 TB of storage space based on WD Se enterprise-class drives. Windows Storage Spaces offers data protection, WD SmartWare Pro Backup software is able to provide data back-up for up to 25 devices on your network and dual-redundant Gigabit Ethernet supports teaming modes like Adaptive Fault Tolerance (AFT). AFT automatically switches to the second network port in the event of a network failure. In addition, Adaptive Load Balancing shares the network load and provides fault tolerance in the event of switch port, cable or adapter failure, and Static Link Aggregation offers inreased network throughput by transmitting over both network adapters. Last but not least, the WD Sentinel DX 4200 is supported by one-year of WD Guardian Services.

The WD Sentinel DX4200 small office storage server is available now. MSRP is $1699.99 USD for 8 TB and $2199.99 USD for the 16 TB.
