Thecus® is Creating a New Standard among the NAS Industry :: Posted by THRASHER2
Introducing Thecus® Next-Gen NAS N4800 & N2800





The New Intel® Atom(tm) CPU, HDMI Output, and Other Surprises







02/20/2012- As part of the Intel Embedded Alliance, Thecus has precedence

and access to a multitude of Intel prototypes and the latest technologies.

Working on those products for months now, Thecus is delighted to finally

release its Vision Series.



The new N2800 and N4800 are going to be some of the first Intel(r) Atom(tm)

D2700 based NAS! They will set the standard for what's best in the market to

help you build a true multimedia center: USB 3.0, Dual Gigabit Ports, SD

Card reader (N2800), Mini-UPS (N4800), etc.



And the most important feature is the HDMI output. With Thecus Local Display

module, it's now possible to connect the NAS directly to a monitor and

control it through USB mouse/keyboard. Playing HD movies, browsing the web,

controlling the NAS... everything is now possible directly from your TV!

Thanks to this feature, Thecus is now creating a new standard among the NAS

industry.



3rd Generation Intel(r) Atom(tm) CPU: silent power



New Intel(r) Atom(tm) CPUs are designed to work without fans. This will

dramatically reduce noise and power consumption of the NAS.



Associated with large amounts of DDR3, the new Atom(tm) will provide much

better performance. Multi-user environment, web hosting, intense backup,

data encryption, application serving, heavy RAID computations, and HD

multimedia streaming: welcome to the world of smooth multi-tasking!



HDMI Output: removing the middle man



After installing the proper module, just plug in a screen through the HDMI

output, a mouse and keyboard on USB ports and the NAS is good to go. You

don't even need computer to check on your NAS! With HDMI output, users can

watch videos or browse the Internet directly from their NAS to a monitor.



Ideal for small installations and/or mobile users, this feature is designed

to lower the total cost of ownership of its user's network architecture.



USB 3.0: from optional to mandatory



Thecus was the first to launch a NAS compatible with USB 3.0 for early

adopters. Now that the technology has matured and more USB 3.0 devices exist

on the market, it is time to embed it by default!
