Asus EeeNAS 1TB backup device joins Atom family
Asustek Computer joined other NAS (network attached storage) device makers such as QNAP and Acer by showing off a new NAS that uses Intel's low-power, inexpensive Atom N270 microprocessor.
The EeeNAS joins Asustek's Eee family of devices that also have Atoms inside, such as Eee PC netbooks and nettop mini-desktops.
EeeNAS will launch within the next month at a price under US$1,000, an Asustek representative said.
The device provides data storage and backup for homes or small businesses. Its 5-litre case contains two 7200 rpm SATA hard disk drives offering a total of 1TB of storage.
A 3.5-inch touchscreen on the front of the device allows users to access data and perform other functions, such as burn DVDs on its slot-loading multi-drive.
EeeNAS has a Linux OS.
The storage device is designed for continuous operation, carries an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), and can act as a communication hub for wireless devices connected to a wired local network.
Full details of EeeNAS will be revealed at Computex in Taipei next week, the representative said.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
