Promise Tech. Unveils SmartStor NS4600 Next Generation NAS and Digital Media Server: Page 3 of 4

Green NAS -- The SmartStor NS4600 consumes a great deal less power than its predecessor and supports Hard Drive Disk Spin-down and also Wake-On-LAN. In Standby Mode the SmartStor NS4600 consumes a mere 6.6w and consumes an extremely modest 51w under full load.

"Rising costs are everywhere and Energy is no exception therefore consumers and business owners need to saving money whenever possible. There is a HUGE difference in power consumption between the SmartStor NS4600 and your typical entry level file and storage server packed with a 300w power supply," said Chi Chen, Senior VP of Promise's Network Storage and Solutions Group.

NAS to NAS Replication -- With disaster around every corner Small Businesses "must" protect their backups. NAS to NAS Replications allows the IT Admin to "replicate" data on one SmartStor NS4600 to another SmartStor NS4600. This process can be facilitated over Internet, LAN or VPN leaving the IT Administrator in total control of the archival process. Allowing IT Administrators to replicate data from one SmartStor NS4600 to another SmartStor NS4600 is the ultimate in piece of mind.
