TAIPEI, Taiwan & HERZELIA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thecus, which specializes in IP Storage and Network Video Recorder Solutions, and Tehuti Networks, a fabless semiconductor company focused on enabling mass adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), today announced the selection of Tehuti TN4010 Network Controller which offers a low-power, small form factor and low-cost 10GbE solution enabling 10GBase-T connectivity for Thecus’s latest line of network-attached storage (NAS) tower and rackmount solution.
Thecus’s N7710-G and N8810U-G networking adapters are based on Tehuti TN4010 which is an optimized 10GbE networking solution supporting the high-performance, low-power, and single-port capabilities required in NAS servers targeting the small to medium sized business (SMB) market. This enables seamless migration of SMB NAS applications from gigabit Ethernet (GbE) networking to 10GbE connectivity while providing an order of magnitude boost in performance at very low power and cost levels.
The Network Adapter hosts the latest Tehuti TN4010 controller, an optimized 10GbE controller designed for low-power, low-cost, single-port applications required in application servers, high-end workstations and personal computers. The TN4010 MAC is paired with a single-port, low-power, high-performance 10GBase-T, to enable tri-speed connectivity (10GBase-T, 1000Base-T and 100Base-TX) over low-cost standard CAT-6a Ethernet cabling, supporting up to 100m. (Cat-5e and CAT-6 are supported compliant to link segment specifications.)
The TN4010 10GbE controller utilizes Tehuti’s hardware network acceleration technology, which offloads compute-intensive protocol processing tasks, such as TCP, UDP and IP checksum processing, from the host CPU. This allows the Thecus N7710-G and N8810U-G NAS solutions to deliver best-in-class performance to seamlessly support the next-generation of SMB-focused storage applications.
“We are pleased to have chosen Tehuti Networks for our NAS-optimized 10GBase-T adapters. The performance and power capabilities of the Tehuti controller make it a key enabler for pervasive adoption of high-performance NAS systems”, Frank Liu, General Manager at Thecus Technology Corp.
“Industry analysts forecast broad-based deployment of 10GbE-based SMB-focused NAS driven by solutions such as N7710-G and N8810U-G NAS-optimized 10GBase-T adapters which provide significant power and cost efficiencies in addition to a seamless 10-fold performance enhancement,” said Doron Shafrir, Vice President of Sales, Tehuti Networks. “We are gratified by the choice of TN4010 as a key enabler for this important industry transformation.”
