MicroNet Technology, a specialist in storage solutions for the small and medium business market, has unveiled its Platinum NAS 4.0 unit that establishes a 4-terabyte capacity standard for the SMB NAS market.
Leveraging the massive capacity of 1 TB SATA disk drives, the Platinum NAS 4.0 delivers an optimal blend of capacity, performance, and high-availability in a simple-to-deploy and easy-to-manage solution, the company says. The device provides up to 4 TB of shared network storage capacity giving customers more capacity while consuming less energy.
"The storage capacity challenges for SMB and SOHO users continue to skyrocket, driving an insatiable demand for massive capacity, easy-to-use, affordable storage solutions," said Joe Trupiano, director of Marketing at MicroNet. "With the Platinum NAS 4.0, MicroNet is meeting these customer challenges with a plug-and-play network storage solution that combines the industry's newest 1 terabyte disk-drive technology with a customer-proven performance-oriented NAS platform," he said.
MicroNetÆs Platinum NAS 4.0 is built around an advanced architecture that incorporates high-availability design features û such as true hot-swappable disk drives for zero-downtime operation -- to meet the needs of SMB users who prefer to spend more time managing their business and less time worrying about their data storage. Platinum NAS 4.0 also supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5, including one-to-many RAID 1 mirroring. It has improved reliability with an integrated backplane that boosts signal integrity and eliminates the need to daisy-chain disk drive cables. Maximum data availability is assured with support for uninterrupted online RAID initialization and simultaneous online RAID expansion and RAID level or size migration.
MicroNet delivers top NAS performance with an Intel XScale 64-bit network storage processor optimized for fast file I/O operations. The unit has a RAID controller that supports four independent SATA drive channels, enabling high-speed data access across all ports simultaneously. Performance is further enhanced with 256 MB of write-back/write-through error correcting cache memory. Additionally, the Platinum NAS 4.0 is the only NAS server in its class with standard dual-channel gigabit Ethernet connectivity to minimize data bottlenecks and enable multiple sub-networks and workgroups to access the server simultaneously with no adverse impact on data throughput.
The units support Windows (including Vista), Linux, and Apple platforms. The Platinum NAS 4.0 is part of MicroNetÆs broad Platinum Series product line that also features Platinum RAID, and the Platinum External hard disk drives. All Platinum Series storage products feature a portable and lightweight aluminum design that is both stylish and flexible. MicroNet Platinum products are available from MicroNet, authorized VARs, and catalogue resellers worldwide, and are distributed through Ingram Micro.
