Communications, one of the
world's leading providers of complete broadband access solutions has
launched its DLNA 1.5-certified 2-bay media server NSA221 with
capacity of up to 4TB. The first 2-bay media server of ZyXEL India
provides an enhanced online 'package' management where advanced users
can easily choose their preferred applications online, saving the
storage capacity for applications and offering you the real-time
application software support per the needs. The intuitive user
interface integrated with the media player facilitates creation of a
music playlist, which can be played on the background for photo slide
shows.

On this occasion, Rishi Samadhia, VP,
Operations, ZyXEL India said, “Maintaining our niche in the Indian
market, we at ZyXEL believe in giving our customers an ultimate
experience for their home and business networks. ZyXEL is proud to
launch NSA221, its first 2-bay media server in India. It is a visible
example of ZyXEL's widening approach as it supports multiple server
technologies for multimedia sharing. The combination of various
exciting applications like iTunes server, SqueezeCenter, personal
blog and photo album server for PCs, laptops and Squeeze Boxes makes
it a must have for every techno freak.” The zPilot file
auto-classification function of NSA221 enables you to easily store
and manage media files through simple drag-and-drop operations and
check the upload status of data transmission. The online auto-upgrade
firmware service enables the immediate download of latest firmware
from the ZyXEL website for on-the-fly feature enhancements. To
overcome slow and disrupted downloading, NSA221 features a BitTorrent
client with supports to the high-speed DHT (Distributed Hash Tables)
mode and TCP/UDP tracker protocols. Through NSA221, one can establish
the FTP server and manage the access authorization for it. The
auto-upload function can automatically upload files stored on the NSA
to FTP servers; an efficient way to update multiple FTP servers
simultaneously and share files with friends and family. Pinaki
Chatterjee, Executive Director-Business Development, ZyXEL India
said, “We always focus on delivering advanced and innovative
technologies which can satisfy the growing market demands. Keeping
pace with the changing requirements, we keep experimenting and our
latest product NSA221 meets our set standards as it caters to the
customers specific needs, alongwith being extremely pocket-
friendly.” After subscribing to RSS feeds and adding links to
NSA221, the built-in RSS client enables the NSA221 to automatically
download the latest digital contents, such as TV programs, Podcasts
and sharing files by subscribing to the RSS feeds. Newly updated
photos and videos stored in the NSA221 can be automatically uploaded
to flickr and YouTube.

Providing a complete set of backup
solutions for home and SOHO users, the advanced functions such as
data compression and synchronization also optimize the bandwidth and
time for data backup processes with better performance. The
intelligent 'Copy/Sync' button makes it even easier to copy to or
from external USB storage devices, card readers and digital cameras.
In addition, the 'Backup Planner' provides you with instant and
scheduled backup services from the NSA221 to other ZyXEL or external
USB mass storages. Saving on electric bills and providing better
environmental protection, the NSA221 consumes less power without
compromising performance. Compared to traditional PC storage which
normally consumes 200 Watts, the NSA221 consumes 80 percent less
power.
