Aquantia Powers High Performance Network Storage Solution from BuffaloSAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aquantia Corp., pioneer and market leader in high-speed Ethernet connectivity solutions for data centers, mobile, and enterprise infrastructure, today announced that Buffalo, a leading provider of external storage and networking solutions, has adopted Aquantia's multi-Gigabit/s AQrate technology for its high performance TeraStation 5010. Available today in Europe and Japan, Buffalo's TeraStation™ 5010 delivers reliable RAID-based network storage solutions for larger networks and business critical applications. Aquantia's AQrate® technology delivers networking speed of up to 10Gbit/s while leveraging the ease-of use and low-cost of ubiquitous twisted-pair Ethernet cabling infrastructure. Today's business users have a wide range of options when it comes to back-up and storage of their data. In cases where there is the need for tightened security, low-latency and fast access speed, the deployment of Local Area Network (LAN) storage is preferred. With today's Gigabit Ethernet speeds, the dramatic increase in the number and size of files to be backed up or transferred to Network-Attached Storage (NAS) devices, the network speed connecting PCs and storage has become the bottleneck. As an example, in the case of post-production editing of high-definition video, moving large files of video blocks back and forth between workstation PCs and storage has become impractical on legacy Gigabit Ethernet networks. Other examples include large database analysis and processing, surveillance recordings, etc. All contribute to a growing requirement for high-throughput networking of more than 1 Gigabit/s and the deployment of high-capacity storage systems that can be easily installed, configured and operated. Latest generations of NAS systems, such as Buffalo's TeraStation 5010, are now capable of sustaining read/write speeds of more than a Gigabit/s. By adopting the AQR105, Aquantia's multi-Gigabit/s AQrate Physical Layer (PHY) Integrated Circuit (IC), for its networking I/O, Buffalo has taken to fully resolve the network speed bottleneck. With Aquantia's AQR105, Buffalo's TeraStation 5010 delivers bandwidth of 2.5 and 5Gbit/s over up to 100m of legacy Cat5e Ethernet cables and 10Gbit/s over 100m of the higher grade Cat6A Ethernet cables. Aquantia's multi-Gigabit/s AQrate AQR105 is compliant with the recently-approved IEEE standard 802.3bz, assurig full interoperability within the IT infrastructure. "With the unique multi-Gigabit/s AQrate technology, Aquantia has developed the perfect match to Buffalo's storage solutions for the business markets," said Masaya Ishimaru, General Manager of Network Business Unit at Buffalo. "We are confident that the combination will provide the highest quality storage solutions for business and demanding users with critical storage needs." "Multi-Gigabit/s networking speed is crucial to the growth of NAS in the business markets," said Nick Shamlou, Vice President, Asia Sales at Aquantia. "We're thrilled to see our AQrate product line expanding into the NAS market, delivering the right solution to Buffalo for their new TeraStations."
