NXP’s Personal Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution enables portable personal storage to be shared through an internal protocol (IP) or Wireless network allowing users to share photos, data, stream music or videos, backup and recovery of data over the local area network in a completely secure environment. In addition, the solution can support gateway features such as packet forwarding, cloud connectivity via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or LTE. This NAS solution offers significant advantages to consumer and SMB environments, including: Hardware-accelerated Raid for data parity and recovery, a reduced bill of materials (BOM) and ease-of-use associated with an IP network that most business and consumers already find familiar. Based on the QorIQ Layerscape LS1012A processor and the Network Attached Storage Application Solution Kit (ASK), the personal/consumer NAS solution offered by NXP allows developers to easily build storage applications leveraging the highly-optimized and feature rich ASK software stack along with the small form factor, low-power consumption and packet processing capabilities enabled by LS1012A processor.
