| Fremont, CA – August 2, 2005 – Infrant Technologies™ today announced that the ReadyNAS(TM) 1000S — the world’s most affordable and compact 1U Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance powered by a Network Storage Processor (NSP) — is available from major IT distributors in the United States and Canada. Using Infrant’s highly integrated IT1004 Network Storage Processor and the Infrant RAIDiator NAS OS, Infrant’s ReadyNAS 1000S offers a feature-rich 1U NAS at an ultra-affordable price.
The ReadyNAS 1000S is now available from ASI in Fremont, CA, Microland Electronics in San Jose, CA, Wintec in Fremont, CA, and Supercom in Canada. By integrating NAS hardware functions into a single NSP, many benefits are realized: including higher reliability, lower cost, smaller size, lower power consumption, and quieter operation.
“The ReadyNAS 1000S is a revolutionary 1U NAS product because it breaks previous price and performance boundaries. The Infrant RAIDiator OS coupled with the NSP allow this product to compete with devices costing many times more,” said Andy Tseng, Solution Sales Marketing Manager of Wintec Industries. “With the increased data archiving requirements brought on by government legislation, the ReadyNAS 1000S is the ideal solution for organizations looking to add affordable storage capacity.”
ReadyNAS
With the explosion of data storage requirements, SMB customers are searching for the best NAS to fit their limited budgets. The ReadyNAS 1000S provides the ideal solution by offering a four-disk, full-featured NAS supporting the most advanced technologies including Hot-Plug Serial ATA disks, hardware-accelerated RAID5, Gigabit Ethernet, Integrated Backup Manager, and Windows Active Directory Integration.
Steve Wang, VP of Sales at Infrant Technologies says, “The highly integrated Infrant NSP was designed more for ultra-compact enclosures. However, our partners and customers were so impressed by the features and performance of our ReadyNAS Pedestal devices; they demanded that we create a 1U product. The result is the 1000S with an 18 inch deep chassis consuming less than 125 Watts of power including the drives.”
The ReadyNAS 1000S offers plug-n-play simplicity to any network and are compatible with Microsoft™ Windows™, Macintosh™ OS and UNIX clients.
Pricing and Availability
The ReadyNAS 1000S is available now in three capacities: without disk, 1 TB, and 1.6 TB of raw storage. The MSRP is $885, $1,575 and $2,195 respectively.
