Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra - Home Network Storage On Steriods With TiVo For DVR And Orb For Mobile

The ReadyNAS name has long been known for features and innovation and the latest Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra lineup of home network storage devices continues that tradition. Home media entertainment is certainly driving the feature list of this latest NAS device innovation.

ReadyNAS network attached storage devices already have about every feature you could want in a network storage device of any kind, but the new Ultra Series are adding to the usual Netgear media streaming capabilities with TiVo streaming, DLNA certified machine using Skifta and even many mobile devices using Orb technologies.

Energy efficiency and a sizable increase in performance over older models is accomplished by using the Intel Atom family processor chip in the new Ultra models. The 4 drive bay Ultra 4 is expected to ship with a single core 1.66Ghz Atom and the 6 drive bay Ultra 6 with a dual core processor.

For comparison, the now end of life ReadyNAS NV+ NAS device is just a little over half as fast as the new Ultra 4 is expected to be. And while Netgear seems to be positioning these products for advance home users, especially media enthusiasts, I am sure we will be seeing these powerful and capable units in offices as well.

Later in the fall, Netgear is also expected to release a diskless unit of the new Ultra for folks that either already have hard drives they want to use or feel the need to buy them separately.

With the ReadyNAS Ultra multimedia desktop storage systems, there are a few multimedia streaming "firsts" that Netgear is proclaiming:

1.) First TiVo compatible DVR network archiving and storage device.

2.) First home network storage device with transcoding capabilities from Orb for mobile devices.

3.) First NAS device to use media shifting capabilities from Skifta.

When you add to that the typical RAID network storage protection and the ability to continuously backup all of the home network connected PCs and Macs with Memeo Premium backup this makes for a compelling buy even if the price is a bit higher than some competing products.

Naturally, with the emphasis on home entertainment media storage and streaming, this unit has to have great performance to keep up. The Intel Atom processor is essentially the same CPU used to power many more powerful netbooks; and the dual core version in the ReadyNAS Ultra 6 is particularly enticing.

If your family is like mine at all, then you are starting to accumulate a fairly expensive library of digital entertainment media of all types. So it only makes sense that you want at least two things from it:

First, you want your investment protected.

Second, you want to be able to enjoy your music, photos and movies when and where you want to.

These new Ultra series home network storage devices have got you more than covered on both of these counts.

Get the information you need to make a wise decision about buying a Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra or one of the many other home NAS devices that suit your needs and budget.

Storage Tank: A Storage Area Network File System. $115.71 The aim of Storage Tank, a research project conducted at IBMs Almaden Research Center, was to design and build a firstofitskind, SANbased file system. Some of the important attributes of this file system include direct SANbased access to data blocks from clients; a true heterogeneous architecture with support for various client platforms; a scalable and highlyreliable cluster of metadata servers, scalability to very large environments; and single system consistency guarantees and locking semantics. A particular focus in designing this system was support of policybased data lifecycle management, which allows automated control of every aspect of data management throughout a files useful lifetime. This dissertation describes the genesis and background of the Storage Tank project, and discusses related work in the area of distributed file systems. It then describes the architecture and operation of the system in some depth. Following those sections is a detailed discussion of the PolicyBased Data Lifecycle Management features of the system. Several companion projects are presented, followed by laboratory and pilot installation experiences with the system. Finally, proposed future work and a discussion of the impact of the system are presented. Author: Pease, David A.

Storage Area Network Essentials $85 The inside scoop on a leading-edge data storage technology The rapid growth of e-commerce and the need to have all kinds of applications operating at top speed at the same time, all on a 24/7 basis while connected to the Internet, is overwhelming traditional data storage methods. The solution? Storage Area Networks (SANs)--the data communications technology that's expected to revolutionize distributed computing. Written by top technology experts at VERITAS Software Global Corporation, this book takes readers through all facets of storage networking, explaining how a SAN can help consolidate conventional server storage onto networks, how it makes applications highly available no matter how much data is being stored, and how this in turn makes data access and management faster and easier. System and network managers considering storage networking for their enterprises, as well as application developers and IT staff, will find invaluable advice on the design and deployment of the technology and how it works. Detailed, up-to-date coverage includes: The evolution of the technology and what is expected from SANs Killer applications for SANs Full coverage of storage networking and what it means for the enterprise's information processing architecture Individual chapters devoted to the storage, network, and software components of storage networking Issues for implementation and adoption

A Molecular and Extensible Network Storage Architecture $157.72 Contemporary distributed file systems are monolithic and only support single file abstractions. Nowadays, as SaiLai Lo explains, network storage devices have to accommodate new information media such as digital audio and video, with data radically different from the traditional text and binary code that contemporary file systems are optimized for. In this book, the author shows how, by combining new and traditional media, information can be recorded and presented in the most suitable way, and the value of a piece of information can be further enhanced by linking together related pieces. However, composite data and crossreference between data items raise a number of system issues that have not been addressed properly before. Lo defines a new multiservice storage architecture that meets the needs of existing and emerging applications and can support multiple file abstractions. He also explores a number of related design issues. Researchers in the areas of distributed systems, network multimedia and network storage services will enjoy this book.
