Infrant Technologies Unveils the Most Advanced NAS ReadyNAS NV provides best-in-class performance and up to 2.0 TB of storage Fremont, CA � February 1, 2006� Infrant Technologies, a leader in network-based storage for home and small business, today announced the worldwide availability of the latest addition to the company’s award-winning line of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, the ReadyNAS™ NV. The ReadyNAS NV brings several new advancements to the ReadyNAS line, including four hot-swappable Serial ATA disk trays, a faster network storage processor (NSP) for better performance, a programmable backup button, a cable lock and a carrying handle, all in an ultra-compact design (8”Hx5”Wx9”D). NAS devices enable business and home users to store and access large amounts of data in a cost-effective manner. The consumer NAS market will continue to grow at an aggressive rate over the next five years, according to leading analyst firm Parks Associates. The firm also sees significant growth potential in the SME market segment. “Consumers have an increasing amount of digital content, and thus a growing need for storage and back-up solutions,” said Michael Cai, senior analyst, Parks Associates. “Considering this, the time is right for network-attached storage vendors to differentiate themselves and generate significant revenue in this emerging market.” “In designing the ReadyNAS NV, we listened to our customers and engineered the system to address their many needs,” said Paul Tien, president of Infrant Technologies. “The end result is the most advanced NAS in this segment, empowering consumers, SMB and SOHO users to have affordable enterprise-level protection for their critical data.” The ReadyNAS NV is the perfect fit for all data storage needs, and has been optimized for digital media via a built-in media server. The ReadyNAS NV is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet connection and it supports all popular streaming media protocols, such as UPnP AV, allowing users to access their digital content directly through the NAS without the need for a PC. Additionally, with the NV’s class-leading performance, it is the second home NAS system on the market capable of handling multiple HD video streams – the first being Infrant’s ReadyNAS 600/X6. The ReadyNAS line of products is dependable, as it incorporates RAID technology in a cost-effective and easy-to-use package, featuring Infrant’s patent-pending Expandable Protection X-RAID technology. X-RAID completely automates all RAID tasks, allowing users with no previous knowledge of the technology to enjoy the benefits of RAID, which can protect against the loss of data due to hard drive failure. Additionally, X-RAID enables users to expand their storage as needed. Users may start out with a single drive in the NV and can add a second, third or fourth drive to gain redundancy and capacity. The expansion process keeps all user data intact and can be accomplished with just a few simple steps. The NV also supports the industry-standard RAID 0, 1 and 5 configurations and, thanks to the new hot-swappable disk trays, servicing the unit is simplified and downtime is drastically reduced. Infrant has extensively tested the unit for compatibility with a wide variety of digital audio and media devices that support Ethernet connections. It also features backward compatibility with any product from the ReadyNAS family, allowing users to easily upgrade to the NV. Additionally, the NV supports all major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows™, Linux™, Mac OS X™ and UNIX.
