NDAS technology is so simple and easy to use, that anyone who uses a PC can use this high-performance technology without
the expert knowledge of networking, folder sharing, TCP/IP configuration, or DHCP settings.
Built on the Standard
NDAS technology is built on the foundation of Ethernet networking, using standard network switches. Both Fibre Channel and
iSCSI require proprietary protocol converters and storage networks, while NDAS is built entirely on accepted industry
standards. So, while NDAS is entering the storage market as a new architecture, in many ways it is more "standards-based"
than its competition.
Incomparable Performance
Measured by performance, availability, scalability or affordability, NDAS outperforms any storage technology. NDAS
enables direct connection of physical drive to each client over the Ethernet, removing performance restrictions common in other
approaches like CPU bottle-neck and traffic overloads. NDAS achieves very high performance through its unique low latancy
archiecheture of protocol and controller. NDAS uses its own protocal, but the NDAS-NAS system would allow all applications
in TCP/IP enviornments.
SAN for SMBs
iSCSI and Fibre Channel are actually the best existing storage technology. However it is just not feasible for SMBs to afford
the cost and maintainance of these storage systems. NDAS provides a high performance SAN architechture at the price of
conventional NAS system. NDAS' unique technology allows very simple expansion and maintainence. SMBs can start small
and expand as the storage or performance needs grow.
Big market
Industry research shows that at least 150 million external storage units will be sold worldwide in
2013.
NDAS technology can easily address the demand of this growing market.
NDAS technology offers the world's first high-performance and cost-effective, network storage
solution for the SOHO market.
As needs of external storage consumers increase, they will easily find the easy to use, high-value, and low-cost NDAS solutions as better alternatives to their existing solutions.
High margin structure
NDAS technology provides a higher premium value over other storage solutions.
Fraction of costs are lower than other solutions. NDAS also has a higher marginal structure.
The values, features, performance and future road map assures competitive consumer pricing.
Proven technology
Many leading storage technology companies have licensed Ximeta's NDAS technology.
Even former competitors have accepted NDAS technology and work closely with Ximeta
through various partnerships and alliances.
Authoritative research firms have shown NDAS as a leading and advanced network storage
solution.
Various broadcast, print and online news sources have performed independent benchmark tests on NDAS and other technologies and declared Ximeta products as "superior" and "innovative."
Simple structure
NDAS technology is composed of small, low powered ASIC chipset and driver software
which is bundled with ASIC chipset.
No firmware, flash memory, motherboard, middleware development, firmware upgrade is required.
After you license NDAS, develop a PCB board and to embed with your existing or upcoming
products, take advantage of the full range of NDAS features
and other available, compatible
products.
Simple setup and design ensures less problems and merchandise returns.
