Thin servers such as network-attached storage are proving increasingly popular with small and medium sized enterprises looking for secure, energy-efficient data storage without investing in large, expensive and power-hungry corporate solutions.

The NAS7800 network-attached storage board is powered by a low heat, energy-efficient 1.5GHz VIA C7 processor with the option of a fanless VIA Eden SKU, the VIA NAS 7800 boasts support for up to eight S-ATA II drives, two Gigabit ports. Security is assured with both a TPM module for key generation and storage while data encryption and decryption is performed through hardware using the integrated VIA PadLock Security Engine. An MFX module for comprehensive wake-up scheduling is included, allowing IT managers to further reduce energy costs.

Combining an enviably complete feature set and flawless security, the NAS7800 network-attached storage board also uses a unique 19cm x 14.3cm form factor that matches that of standard optical drives, allowing easy design integration within standard drive sized chassis.
