05/13/2011 – Thecus has ground its way to the #1 spot for Intel® NAS providers by being the first on the scene and giving people the most powerful NAS with the best functionality at an impossibly affordable price. In a recent In-Stat report, Thecus was also named the #1 producer of NAS in APAC and, from 2009-2010, jumped from being the #8 to being the #6 worldwide NAS producer, quickly closing in on household names such as Buffalo and Apple by the day. At Computex 2011 Thecus will have the groundbreaking XXX line on display and will introduce the new standard in NAS with models housing the most impressive advances of 2011 that you can only get from Thecus: Intel®’s Sandy Bridge processors, High Availability NAS, and VMware iSCSI Virtual SANs.

 

Things to look for at Computex 2011 from Thecus:

Sandy Bridge Power - The three state-of-the-art NAS to boast Intel®’s new Sandy Bridge processors and Bromolow architecture are the brand-new 8-bay N8900 (Dual-Core i3 2120@3.3GHz), 12-bay and 16-bay N12000PRO and N16000PRO (Quad-Core Xeon E3-1280 @3.5GHz) NAS. These models are guaranteed to dominate the market with excellent results for consumers just like their predecessors. Thecus’s close relationship with Intel as an Intel Storage Community Member, one of Intel’s 20 largest worldwide strategic partners, and Intel’s #1 embedded NAS producer has given Thecus priority in getting the latest hardware to make the best NAS on the market.

 

100% Availability with 10G BASE-T HA and VMware iSCSI SAN - The Xeon powered N12000 and N16000, as well as the Sandy Bridge Xeon-powered PRO versions, are the only NAS worldwide to support High Availability NAS cloning, creating the first 100% available NAS environment with absolutely no breaks or delays in service in rain, shine, or Armageddon. This function is also available over 10G BASE-T Ethernet for instantaneous heartbeat synchronization. These models are also the first in the NAS market to pass VMware iSCSI Certification for advanced business SAN setups. These design functions have never been seen before in the NAS market and finally give businesses a true alternative to messy, bulky, budget-busting servers.
