(firmenpresse) - MILPITAS, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/27/11 -- , a leader in providing high-performance storage solutions to the rich media market and the leader in designing cutting-edge Thunderbolt devices today announced that PROMISE SANLink, the first Fibre Channel to Thunderbolt adapter providing rich media professionals with native high-speed access to their shared Fibre Channel SAN digital assets is now available throughout the world through the PROMISE global network of distributors and value added resellers. Previously available only at the Apple store () this dramatic expansion of availability is in direct response to the overwhelming demand being generated by the media and entertainment markets and creative professionals communities.
PROMISE SANLink recently captured the Pick Hit 2011 award for outstanding achievement and creative technology innovation. The award was announced by Broadcast Engineering at IBC 2011 in Amsterdam. The prestigious Pick Hit Awards are the industry's longest-running product technology awards for broadcast and production.
SANLink provides a dual 4Gbps Fibre Channel link that can be used to connect to external Fibre Channel storage or to an Xsan or StorNext network using a high-speed Thunderbolt port. Each adapter features full-duplex capable FC ports that automatically detect connection speed and can each independently operate at 1, 2 or 4Gbps. Two Thunderbolt ports are provided with SANLink that enable daisy-chaining to other Thunderbolt peripherals, such as monitors, to be connected through SANLink up to 6 total devices.
PROMISE SANLink is fully compatible with Thunderbolt technology that ships on the new MacBook Pro, Mac mini, iMac and MacBook Air. SANLink requires zero software install and simply works out-of-the-box with full hot-plug capability.
