Thecus N7700PRO NAS VMware Ready

Thecus Technology Corp., in storage solutions and member of the VMware Technology Alliance Partner, launched a next generation NAS device, the N7700PRO.

This NAS unit is packed with abundant features as well as technology of the future; it is the world’s first SMB NAS that supports 10G networks, offering businesses blazing fast file transfer speeds. Now, Thecus is bringing N7700PRO users more good news by announcing full compatibility with VMware solutions. The N7700PRO is now officially VMware Ready certified.

Thecus N7700PRO NAS receiving the VMware Ready certified logo means that the N7700PRO has passed all the relevant laboratory testing and met all the integration and interoperability criteria outlined by VMware. VMware Ready certification also means that the N7700PRO is fully compatible with VMware ESX 4.0 and ready to run in a production environment to carry out mission critical business applications and operations. Users can also find the N7700PRO now listed on the VMware compatibility guide.

With the N7700PRO now VMware Ready certified, business users can utilize the N7700PRO together with VMware servers to build a virtual infrastructure and create virtual machines (VM). On virtual machines, various OS can be installed and applications can be installed on each OS to carry out various tasks. The N7700PRO with a VMware server will form a unified pool of resources that can be utilized by VMs to run applications. Compared with the traditional one server with one application model, virtual infrastructures significantly reduce operating costs, lower electricity consumption and increase overall hardware resource utilization.

“We are thrilled with this latest announcement,” said Thecus General Manager, Florence Shih. “Now that the N7700PRO is VMware Ready certified, SMB users can also enjoy the full benefits and convenience of virtualization.”
