March 17, 2004 - ABIT Computer Corporation, a world
leading manufacturer of award-winning mainboards, video cards, and server
products, today announced their new Thecus line of network attached storage
(NAS) servers. The Thecus NAS Series is based on the highly stable Linux
OS and supports tera-scale storage capacity. The new line of Thecus storage
solutions is aimed at the needs of small and medium sized enterprises and
markets such as digital home, healthcare, education, government, and professional
services.
"ABIT is famous
for quality, stability, reliability, and engineering. Our mainboards have
always been the brand of choice for PC enthusiasts," says Edwin
Lin, General Manager. "Our new NAS servers reflect ABIT's high
standards and our initial promotion for Thecus Storage Solutions will
carry the ‘Powered by ABIT' tag."
Today's
exponential growth of digitalized files has produced many new problems
for accessing and managing data on a network. NAS solves these problems
through a dedicated approach to storing and distributing data. A NAS server
enhances a network by taking over file management functions, increasing
application speeds, and providing faster data response. Network data stored
on a NAS is easily shared by users of different types of operating systems.
A NAS server also provides exceptional data reliability with RAID features
that provide data security, recovery, and remote mirror backup.
ABIT
products are renowned for their quality, stability, reliability, and engineering.
For storage solutions ABIT's new Thecus Series offers the additional benefits
of our 3S advantage: Speed, Space,
and Security - Speed through dedicated data management,
Space through tera-scale storage capacity and compression algorithms,
Security through enhanced RAID functions and encryption technology.
The Thecus NAS Series provides secure, high-speed transmission using
the Gigabit Ethernet Interface. Centralized data management is enhanced
with cross platform file sharing. PC, Unix/Linux, and Macintosh platforms
benefit from unhindered read and write access to NAS server files. The
Thecus NAS Series provides a high-performance, integrated storage solution
that is also cost-effective.
The
Thecus NAS Series provides enhanced hard-disk security with RAID functions
that include online disk hot swapping, hot spare, and auto-rebuild to
ensure data integrity. To minimize downtime and data loss in the event
of a system failure, a disk roaming function lets users remove the RAID
set.
Installation of the Thecus NAS Series is quick and easy, with no need
to shut down the network. Plug and play setup is convenient and uses web
browser based administration and management. Thecus Series storage solutions
are backed with a 2-year Warranty on parts and labor.
