Compact NAS Appliance
The appliance that keeps things simple

Business impact
Hardware and software. One decision. One partner.
Sanbrick is, first and foremost, a software company. SanbrickOS runs on any x86 hardware — and the Neutron Series is the most direct path to having it running close to the point of operation: branch offices, edge sites and small environments.
Unified NAS and SAN management
A single platform for all storage protocols — file sharing, block storage for virtualisation, backups, replication. No parallel systems, no separate consoles.
Full data sovereignty
Your data remains on your infrastructure, on European soil. GDPR compliance by architecture — not by declaration. No exposure to the US Cloud Act.
Predictable costs over 5 years
Unlike cloud storage that grows with your data, SanbrickOS has a stable cost model. Customers report average savings of 244% over five years.
Local by design
Enterprise-class NAS in a compact chassis. Available as a desktop cube or 1U rack unit, with up to 4 drive bays — ideal for SOHO, branch offices and edge deployments close to where data is created.
The software is the heart. The appliance is the convenience. With the Neutron, you get both — same box, same contract, same support
Architecture
One platform. NAS and SAN. SanbrickOS factory-installed.
A compact appliance for environments that need simplicity, a minimal footprint and direct proximity to operations — file services and backup, without complexity. SanbrickOS is Linux-based and operates across three layers.
Hardware layer
Hardware selected and certified by Sanbrick for maximum SanbrickOS compatibility. The same platform can migrate to alternative x86 hardware at any point — no re-licensing, no lock-in.
architecture-agnosticSanbrickOS layer
Unified NAS and SAN management. Volumes, RAID, snapshots, replication, access policies and monitoring in a single responsive web interface.
the management engineProtocol & services layer
Native NFS, SMB/CIFS, iSCSI and Fibre Channel. Direct integration with VMware vSphere, Hyper-V and Citrix. Active Directory / LDAP. Open APIs.

Patient data kept on-site, audit-ready compliance, no dependence on external cloud services.
Education
Need
Reliable storage for a single school, department or small campus, manageable without a dedicated IT team.
Outcome
Local control of teaching resources and records — simple to run, no specialist administration required.
Media & Entertainment
Need
Fast local storage for small creative teams and studios working with video and design assets.
Outcome
Quick access to active projects, automatic backup, no ongoing cloud storage costs.
General Enterprise
Need
Consolidated storage for a branch office or small site, without deploying full data-centre infrastructure.
Outcome
A single, supported appliance covering file sharing and backup for the whole site.
Your Data. Your Rules. Your Law.
Sanbrick — European Data Storage & Backup Software Solutions. Portuguese engineering. European standards. Local support.
Four reasons to choose the Neutron
Why small teams and edge sites pick it
A complete solution from day one
Hardware and software tested together, shipped ready to install. No integration work, no compatibility issues, no time lost.
Simplicity where it matters
Compact chassis, straightforward setup, no dedicated IT team required. Built for small offices and edge sites, not data centres.
European compliance by default
GDPR-native. Data on your own infrastructure, under European jurisdiction. Audit reports included. No transfers outside the EU.
Direct manufacturer support
No intermediary between your team and the engineers who built the software. Direct support, with genuine product knowledge.
Technical specifications
What you are deploying, exactly
Processing
Up to 4 dedicated storage cores for reliable, everyday file and block operations. Architecture sized for SOHO and small-site workloads — not oversized for what you actually need.
RAID & data protection
Hardware or software RAID depending on model. RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 — capacity and redundancy sized for small-team environments.
Scalability
Grows from 4 to 8 drive bays depending on chassis, with a clear upgrade path to the Pulsar Series when workloads outgrow the format — no data migration surprises.
Connectivity
Gigabit Ethernet as standard, with 10GbE available on rack models — enough for the file and backup workloads the Neutron is built for.

The right hardware
One software. Three form factors.
Sanbrick appliances are purpose-built to run SanbrickOS — pre-configured and validated for European compliance environments. Three series cover the full range of organisational requirements.
Small business & SOHO
SanbrickOS in a compact format for edge deployments, branch offices and local data environments. The right architecture when simplicity, proximity to operations and direct support matter more than scale.
Mid-market
1U performance for workloads where rack footprint, speed and simplicity all count. Supports 2.5″ SATA, SAS and NVMe — the natural fit for fast file and block services without the complexity of larger chassis.
Enterprise & critical infrastructure
The primary Sanbrick appliance for enterprise workloads — available in three configurations, each optimised for a distinct storage profile: core capacity, high density, or all-flash performance.
