American Megatrends Inc. to Exhibit New 1 TB NAS Solution Based on ATA-133 and Linux at CeBIT and CMP XChange.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CeBIT 2003 ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 7, 2003 The 1U StorTrends 2104 supports up to 1 TB when using four Maxtor MaXLine Plus II 250 GB drives and features an AMI-designed Linux OS and a Pentium 4 CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. Editorial Summary -- The StorTrends 2104 supports up to 1 TB when using four Maxtor MaXLine Plus II 250 GB, ATA-133, 7200 rpm, 8 MB cache drives -- CeBIT will be held in Hannover, Germany March 12 through March 19 (Hall 1 Booth # 5 G 6) -- CMP's XChange Solution Provider takes place in New Orleans March 9 through March 12 American Megatrends Inc. (AMI), a leading provider of storage and computing innovations worldwide, will demonstrate its newest StorTrends(R) network attached storage (NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular ) solution featuring Linux-based software and four Maxtor(R) MaXLine(TM) Plus II drives for up to 1 TB capacity next week at CMP's XChange conference in New Orleans and at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany. The StorTrends 2104 is a 1U system with support for up to four hard drives, Pentium(R) 4 CPU, dual Gb/Ethernet and up to 3 GB DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory memory. AMI's StorTrends 2104 is bundled with its StorTrends 2.0 NAS Software for Linux and AMI's SRM (1) (Storage Resource Management) The management of the storage resources in an organization in order to avoid duplication of files and to determine space utilization across all servers. Express management software, which can manage multiple NAS servers across the network. The StorTrends 2.0 Linux-based software gives NAS users high performance, greater compatibility with other operating systems, less system administration and a reduction in the total cost of storage management. Version 2.0 for Linux has been revamped, not only with a Linux OS, but with new features and support, including Snapshot, hardware health monitoring, SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. RAID controllers, a web-based console user interface, Access Control List (ACL See access control list. 1. ACL - Access Control List. 2. ACL - Association for Computational Linguistics. 3. ACL - A Coroutine Language. A Pascal-based implementation of coroutines. ["Coroutines", C.D. ), Active Directory Services (ADS), Network Information System (NIS Niš or Nish (both: nēsh), city (1991 pop. 175,391), SE Serbia, on the Nišava River. An important railway and industrial center, it has industries that manufacture textiles, electronics, spirits, and locomotives. ), XFS XFS X Font Server (Sun) XFS Extended File System XFS X-Fleet Sentinels (gaming clan) XFS Extensions for Financial Services (software interface specification) file system with Journaling and a USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. CDROM-based installation. The AMI SRM Express management station is a .NET-based storage resource management software that discovers StorTrends NAS on a network, generates topological information, helps analyze enterprise-wide storage usage, allows administrators to manage multiple NAS servers through a single intuitive web-based GUI and helps to track and plan the growth of storage resources deployed across the enterprise. "More and more business customers are integrating ATA-based systems for near-line, fixed content and other secondary storage applications. AMI's StorTrends is a cost effective alternative to tape, optical and more expensive high-end storage solutions," said Robert Wise, director of Product Marketing at Maxtor. "We are committed to meet the storage needs of all customers from resellers to small businesses to enterprise-class near-line applications with our premium MaXLine high-capacity ATA (1) (AT Attachment) The specification for IDE drives. See IDE. (2) See analog telephone adapter. ATA - Advanced Technology Attachment technology." "AMI's move to a Linux-based software has allowed us to provide a high-performance, flexible solution for resellers, VARs and solution providers at a reasonable price," said Rodney Damen, AMI's senior program manager for storage and system products. "Our basic configuration enables our customers to create a wide range of unique solutions of nearly any capacity with fewer headaches." Basic Configuration -- StorTrends 2104 chassis -- P4 2.4 GHz CPU -- 512 MB DDR memory (single module) -- StorTrends NAS 2.0 Software for Linux with the SRM Express Management Station Shipping for the StorTrends 2104 and 2.0 software is scheduled to begin Q2 2003.
