Leap to 64-Bit, Reduce Bottleneck and Optimize Performance
Thecus® N7700PRO v2 and N8800PRO v2 upgrade to 64-Bit!
What is a bit and what exactly does it stand for? A bit stands for “binary digit,” the set of numbers used by computing devices to process commands. A 32-bit system demonstrates great performance but if one is in need for improvement; 64-bit is the solution to solve bottlenecks. In short, 64-bit allows the system to calculate and process more data compared to the lesser 32-bit. Ultimately, Thecus® upgrades the new 7-bay N77000PRO and 8-bay N8800PRO v2 models to 64-bit. Some key benefits of switching from 32-bit to 64-bit: improved performance, capability to process more data at a time, and better overall structure.
We’ll start off with better overall structure, as some might be confused by the concept. In a nutshell, hardware and software development seldom halts; the NAS industry is constantly moving forward and 4GB RAM is becoming a standard. It’s safe to bet that the transition to 64-bit will allow users to get the most up-to-date and best performing storage system available, with the use of 4GB RAM or over. In addition, users won’t need to upgrade their platform for a long duration since 64-bit is the future and is ideal for smooth NAS operation.
It’s apparent that users who choose a 7-bay or 8-bay NAS are those who manage large amounts of data. As a result, Thecus® eliminates possible barriers by utilizing 64-bit on the new N7700PRO and N8800PRO v2 models. Hardware
architecture has the ability to hinder the amount of data that is able to process at a given time. For instance, a true 64-bit motherboard requires a true 64-bit CPU, suggested amount of RAM and true 64-bit software for the NAS to engage full throttle. As a result, 64-bit configuration allows more data to be processed at a time, offering an efficient storage device.
Using a 64-bit NAS improves performance in many ways such as increased responsiveness, more memory and processing power. NAS users using 32-bit systems face possible bottlenecks; one per se restricts performance to a certain level. For instance, if a system is only meant to handle 3GB of RAM, installing 4GB of RAM won’t prove performance gains. NAS gurus can rest assure that the v2 models, 7-bay and 8-bay NAS will have the most advanced hardware and technology to keep up with future development and tackle huge amounts of data without limits.

Thecus already deployed a couple of mobile applications: Thecus Dashboard for remote monitoring and ThecusShare for media streaming.
