The Giga miniSAN adopts an open SAN protocol named ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE). That is , beyond common TCP/IP management facilities , Giga miniSAN uses AoE as a thin layer to process ATA commands directly over Ethernet traffic. This design has proven its ability to offer 3x-5x performance over fastest home NAS SoC implementations.
Simple Network Storage –
With driver software installed, the mounted drive discovery is almost instant and plug-and-play. No cumbersome and confusing network IP/DHCP settings required. Install the miniSAN application tool , then discover the miniSAN drive by MAC in the network and mount it to your PC , just easy and simple configuration.Fastest Throughput – Unique protocal engines and hardware datapath of Giga miniSAN produce highest data performance bounded by nothing but interface speed and physical disks sequential rate.
Both Ethernet & USB Connectivity – Giga miniSAN offers both USB2.0 and Ethernet connection to your PC or network. In addition, its Gigabit Ethernet interface (10/100/1000Mbps) performs a maximum high speed connection. It works perfectly and friendly to co-work with other disk masters.
Network Jukebox – Through the extreme high speed transmission rate , user can save CD/DVD files to Giga miniSAN as the database and play them on every computer in the network – just like you would like to play the music or movie from local drives. No more delay due to the low speed streaming videos.
Limitless Scalability – Natural storage space growth with SAN operational structure. Storage expansion is unlimited and never easier. More Giga miniSAN can be easily mounted into network switch when your storage needs grow.
One Touch Data Backup – Giga miniSAN provides a quick backup solution by using one tocuh button at the front panel.
