QSAN Technology debuts its latest XCubeSAN product line at Computex 2016
XS5200 series is QSAN's next generation storage platform that integrates the latest hardware technologies available on the market including Intel Xeon D-1500 processor, DDR4 ECC RAM up to 128GB, native 12Gb SAS 3.0 technology, dual host cards, and fully redundant and modular components to provide five 9's high availability and fault tolerance required by enterprise SAN storage. There are 2x host card slots on each SAN controller. Each host card slot supports 3x different types of host cards including 4x port 10GbE iSCSI, 4x port 16Gb Fibre Channel, and 4x port 1GbE iSCSI. In dual active controller mode, XS5200 series can support up to 20x 10GbE iSCSI ports or 16x 16Gb FC ports to provide stunning bandwidth and throughput performance.Given the fact that SSD drives have gained more and more market share, the latest SANOS 4.0 operating system supports QCache (SSD caching) and QTiering (auto tiering) functions to leverage the benefits brought by SSD drives. QSAN worked with Seagate, the leading disk drive giant to provide a total solution for big data analytics, data mining, business intelligence, and trend analysis applications. These are ideal candidates to use QTiering function due to the nature of different data retention and usage characteristics. Take a look at the current enterprise disk drive market, 12Gb SAS interface is the fastest and the mainstream. 12Gb SAS SSD has much better performance than 6Gb SATA SSD. Seagate provides a complete portfolio of 12Gb SAS disk drives including enterprise SAS SSD (1200.2 series), enterprise performance 15K HDD, enterprise performance 10K HDD, enterprise capacity 3.5 nearline SAS HDD, and the latest enterprise capacity SATA Helium HDD. QTiering function provides 4x storage tiers that perfectly match Seagate's enterprise disk drive portfolio.Not all enterprise applications require the performance of all flash storage all the time. All flash storage with SAS SSD or enterprise SATA SSD is still very expensive. QTiering can use SSD drives with 5%-10% of the overall capacity and satisfies both performance requirement and limited budgets by putting the right data at the right place at the right time. QTiering supports dynamic volume tiering policy and there are 5x policies to choose from. The intuitive web UI makes it effortless to configure QTiering function. The brain behind QTiering is QSAN proprietary intelligent algorithms that manage data hotness monitoring, ranking statistics, and data relocation using half-life coefficient and advanced mathematics.The other benefit of QTiering is that when relocation is in process, there is no downtime. Users can enjoy the performance benefits brought by QTiering. As the volume data is gradually moved to the faster tier, the performance will improve accordingly. QSAN XCubeSAN XS5200 series is future-proof and tailor-made to handle the modern enterprise data workloads. XS5200 series is your crucial "one step" to boost your business performance.QSAN XS5226 storage platform

Action Star Technology doubles down on USB-C and Thunderbolt 3
Action Star Technology has announced that it will showcase its latest USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 products at Computex 2016. The industry-leading OEM/ODM will have on display its line of USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 docking stations, hubs and adapters.USB-C and Thunderbolt 3: 101Often heralded as the One Port to rule them all, USB-C is expected to replace, enhance or consolidate many of the familiar connectors we see today. The revolutionary connector provides the potential to charge a laptop or mobile device with up to 100W of power, fire up a 4K display with native audio and video via DisplayPort Alternate Mode, and transmit data at a blazing 10 Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 2) or 5 Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen l).Thunderbolt 3 is the latest iteration of Intel's Thunderbolt standard and is heavily championed by the company as "The USB-C That Does It All." Intel bid farewell to the Mini DisplayPort connector used by Thunderbolt 2, instead of embracing USB-C as its new connector. Thunderbolt 3 is compatible with USB-C devices and boast all the benefits of USB-C, but supercharges it with 40 Gbps bandwidth and the ability to daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices.In addition to its unrivaled versatility, USB-C also solves one of the most challenging problems of this generation's consumers: the quantum properties of USB-A. Whether it's due to quantum superposition or the simple fact that USB-A connectors exist in four dimensional space, it is well known that today's average user must try at least three times before successfully connecting a USB-A device. USB-C's reversible design reduces that by at least 33%, not to mention providing tactile feedback upon insert, which itself is 97% more pleasant.USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 further the revolutionary idea set in motion by the original USB specifications in the 1990's: a truly Universal Serial Bus that reduces friction and frustration for users. Backed by the biggest names in consumer electronics, an increasing number USB-C enabled laptops and mobile devices are coming to market. There is little doubt that USB-C will become ubiquitous in the coming years.USB-C Plagued by Poorly Designed ProductsHowever, while consumers now have numerous USB-C enabled computers and mobile devices to choose from, they are frustrated by the limited availability of high quality accessories. Many products on the market are platform-specific because they are plagued with compatibility issues. Others have safety issues related to the new USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification, which allows a device to pump up to 100W to computers and mobile devices. Accessories that are poorly built or designed have the potential to damage a user's device and cripple a brand's reputation.Action Star is committed to providing solutions that are prepared for the coming waves of changes and challenges fueled by USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. Action Star has been building USB-C products for its customers since the first wave of USB-C enabled laptops were introduced, and has extensive experience navigating the tricky waters of compatibility, safety and time-to-market."Today's consumers expect more than products that 'just work.' They expect their devices to improve quality of life, provide a great user experience - and stay that way long past the warranty expires," said Leo Yu, GM of Action Star Technology."In addition to designing and manufacturing devices that incorporate the latest technologies, we have always been adamant about ensuring the build quality and safety of our products," Yu added. "Many of our customers have stayed with us for more than two decades, through numerous financial crises and changing industry dynamics. They know we never cut corners."To learn more about Action Star's USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 offerings, please visit Booth B0521a, TWTC Hall 1 at Computex 2016, which takes place from May 31 to Jun 4, 2016.Action Star's Thunderbolt 3 docking stationAbout Action StarEstablished in 1988, Action Star Technology is one of the world's leading computer peripheral manufacturers.
