Thecus’enterprise-class NAS reached new levels in speed and reliability with the introduction of Intel Skylake CPU architecture and the latest DDR4 RAM. Most recently, we have taken scalability to a new level. Where the industry standard of scaling up your NAS configuration has been with Daisy-Chain technology, Thecus has added Scale-out functionality. This new architecture can scale both capacity and performance, essentially without limit.
Recognition in the industry This year, Thecus became an Intel Storage Builder member and received Microsoft Azure accreditation for IoT devices. Thecus devices were the beneficiary of multiple awards, the most prestigious of them were receiving the "Editor’s choice" for the 2-bay NAS round by one of USA’s largest Technology media, Tom’s Hardware. In Russia, Thecus was recognized as a “Champion of the IT-Channel 2016” by CRN Russia.

2017 and beyond Technology is always in continuous change, and the NAS industry is no exception. Thecus is set to grow their global brand as a significant contributor to the storage market, with several initiatives planned in 2017. In the 2 to 4 bay range, our key focus is the integration of IoT devices in a smart home environment. Through P2P connection, there will be seamless interconnection with central storage, private cloud, surveillance and streaming. The adoption of NAS systems will continue to rise in the enterprise environment, with Thecus being in the perfect position to take advantage of this trend, as the cost-effectiveness of NAS systems as well as reliability being the key motivators for business. Thecus will also continue to enhance its scale-out functionality, developing a greater feature set and performance. Delivering companies with the ability to dynamically add to their storage system easier and more cost effectively than ever before. The age of Big Data is upon us, with developed countries fighting to be pioneers in Smart City Solutions. The amount of data a Smart City can generate needs a strong back up storage. Thecus in collaboration with Intel storage builder members and Microsoft support are certain that our NAS are a competitive choice to compete in this innovative concept. Thecus is primed to be a key player in the Network Attached Storage industry in 2017.
