For years Qsan has won records in enterprise markets and numerous vertical industries. TrioNAS is the new series designed to offer enterprise features for SMB at a competitive price, allowing smaller organizations to manage IT infrastructure at minimum efforts and cost.

"TrioNAS U221 is the flagship model in this series and with the Intel Xeon CPU and 32GB memory, it can deliver ultimate performance for online dedup and compression to save disk capacity of up to 90%," said Daniel Lin, sales director, Qsan. "With data efficiency features, TrioNAS enables smaller companies to backup data without worrying about redundant data swallowing up storage capacity."
 
"The amount of data being created by small businesses and enterprises is increasing at such a rapid rate that users require a simple and centralized way to access and backup their valued digital assets. The Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v3 product family provides an ideal solution for powering intelligent storage systems for SMBs and helps deliver better ways to help protect, store, and backup data," says Bev Crair, GM of the Intel Corp.‘s storage division.
 
"Qsan always aims to maximize the price/performance value and ROI for customers," added JP Chen, the president and CEO, Qsan. "We’re proud that TrioNAS indeed achieves the goal."
