The GalaxyNASLX2 is a high-performance network storage device designed for a variety of
Ethernet LAN storage applications in the Audio, Video, Print Graphics, Medical Imagery, and
Video Surveillance markets. Because of the unique way the storage and OS interact, large
file serving and streaming data becomes the real strength of the GalaxyNASLX2. Although
difficult to project how successful it will be with your specific usage, many of Rorke Data’s
customers are finding that the GalaxyNASLX2 fits a storage requirement that was recently
being filled by expensive direct attached work station storage.
