Music to the ears

2 Apr 2008

SMC Networks, a global provider of LAN hardware and broadband connectivity devices, has announced the availability of its TigerStore SOHO NAS Storage Server – designed to be a complete storage solution that incorporates a built-in iTunes music server for home and small office environments.

The solution is now available to local consumers via the company's extensive reseller and distributor base in South Africa and is claimed to have high-speed networking capabilities, along with a music server to allow easy access and sharing of data files, music, photos and videos.

With about 1.2 billion songs downloaded in 2007, there is a significant increase in the number of people replacing their CD collections with digital music files stored on their computers.

Precious family photographs and videos are also being stored digitally and the storage server is designed to be an ideal central network data resource for homes and small offices, offering common shared and protected storage, with user defined access rights.

The unit comes with two slots for 3.5” SATA II hard disks supporting up to 2TB (Terabytes) of storage using the latest 1TB hard disk drives and includes 3 USB 2.0 ports to connect and share a printer or add additional USB storage. The one-touch backup button means the internal card reader and any external USB storage devices are backed-up effortlessly.
