A New AI Ready NAS Entering the Market - The Zettlab D4, D6/D8 Ultra nascompares.com/news/new-zettlabs-ai-llm-nas-comin…
Zettlab has officially entered the network-attached storage (NAS) market, unveiling four new models—the D4, D6, D6 Ultra, and D8 Ultra—at IFA 2024 in Berlin. This marks Zettlab's first foray into NAS, positioning these systems as AI-driven solutions for users who want advanced data management and media organization capabilities while maintaining control over their privacy. Unlike many NAS solutions that rely on cloud-based services, Zettlab's systems offer AI functionalities that work entirely offline, catering to users who prioritize data security alongside advanced functionality. At IFA 2024, Zettlab introduced these NAS models with a focus on integrating local artificial intelligence (AI) tools that don't require internet connections or third-party services such as ChatGPT or Google Gemini. The Zettlab AI NAS systems provide users with tools for smart data handling, enhanced search capabilities, and contextual media organization. As a result, the systems target professionals and businesses dealing with large datasets or media collections who need advanced tools to interact with and organize their data, without sacrificing privacy.
