It's widely accepted that Storage Area Networks (SANs) are the ideal solution for collaborative environments. Unfortunately, it's also true that SAN solutions typically have relied on expensive, complex Fibre Channel technology for their performance, making them impractical for smaller companies with limited budgets and no IT departments. SANcube800 says goodbye to the old expectations and hello to affordable, easy and convenient SAN performance. It's the solution you asked for. MicroNet has been working with you, the creative professional, to create a personal SAN solution built for Macintosh users and workgroups, and our efforts have paid off with great success. SANcube delivers the breakneck speed, the simplicity of FireWire 800, and serious capacity and data availability of a SAN solution, but without the hefty price tag. All wrapped up in a sleek little cube that's ready to go right out of the box.

The SANcube800 is MicroNet's patented workgroup storage solution for Mac OS X, designed specifically for creative professionals. SANcube is the first and only FireWire 800 Storage Area Network (SAN), eliminating the traditional need of expensive fibre channel switches, hubs, cards, cabling and software. No more frustrating bottlenecks or copying files, just affordable shared storage that allows you to blaze through your workload.

SANcube800 boxes terabytes of online storage with the lightning speed of FireWire800, enabling you to fit your biggest ideas into the tightest of work spaces and accessing them quickly and efficiently. the flexible configuration and storage capacity meets the demands and budgets of the professional and workgroups using the most extreme applications.
