It is an innovated network storage for SOHO and small business application. It could be integrated into most of the modern digital home appliances (gateway, set-top-box, media server/player) that equip some sort of data storage functions through high speed transmission.

t adopts an open SAN protocol named ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE). That is , beyond common TCP/IP management facilities , it uses AoE as a thin layer to process ATA commands directly over Ethernet traffic. This design has proven its ability to offer 3x-5x performance over fastest home NAS SoC implementations.
