Visionman Launches New Generation of NAS Appliances for Consumers

Visionman
Computers, a wholly owned subsidiary of Silicon Mountain
Holdings, Inc. and manufacturer of servers, workstations and notebooks
for small business and home users, today announced the availability of
their second generation NAS appliances. These Smart Media storage and
management devices make it easy for any family, user group or business
to organize, share, access and protect their digital assets including:
music, video, digital libraries, photographs, business records and
confidential data.

The new VisionVault Smart Media NAS appliances integrate a
low-power, system-on-chip ARM CPU with an embedded Linux operating
system to deliver flexible, secure, high-speed file services via an
advanced SATA II interface. The VisionVault VM200 and VM400 models
deliver 3.0 Gigabits-per-second maximum throughput and a feature-set
that has been tuned and optimized for storage convenience including
automatic backup, remote access support and advanced digital media
services.

"The advent of broadband and the ever-increasing digital demands of
home and small business users are driving the need for easy-to-use and
affordable network attached storage," said Shaun Hanner, COO at Silicon
Mountain. "Our new VM200 and VM400 appliances redefine the NAS
category, allowing any small group up to 20 users to organize, share,
access and protect their digital assets. Studies show that the average
American home will have around 10 Terabytes of digital content by 2012
and that our Smart Media NAS appliances will play a vital role in
bringing together and protecting all the elements of their digital
lives."

The two-drive VM200 NAS appliance offers up to 2 Terabytes of
storage in a compact form factor, supporting RAID 0, 1 and span
options; the four-drive VM400 NAS solution offers up to 4 Terabytes of
storage in a hot-swappable form factor that also includes RAID 5
support for additional reliability.

Both VisionVault models support Windows, Linux and Mac file systems.
In addition, these Smart Media NAS appliances can be configured as a
digital media server, iTunes server or allow peer-to-peer networking
for easy file sharing via FTP and HTTP.

For the system administrator, Active Directory integration, critical
event alerts, user quota control, USB storage, print server
functionality, large file support and advanced security options are
built in.

The new Visionman VisionVault Smart Media NAS appliances is
available for shipment since January 22, 2008.
