NDAS - 2ª generation of great technology for the poor

Some days ago I stumbled upon this cool technology: NDAS (Network Direct Attached Storage) is Ximeta's patented technology which enables all digital storage devices(HDD, ODD, Memory, Tape Drives) direct connection into standard Ethernet networks. All users or systems on the network can directly control, use and share those devices.

I can't help seeing NDAS as:

 NDAS = coolVersionForThePoor (
 iSCSI = (
  coolVersionForThePoor (SAN)
 )
);

Comparing NDAS to NAS, Ximeta got something like:

NDAS system	NAS system
Next generation advanced technology	Based on old technology (PC file sharing)
Higher performance (up to 6 times faster)	Lower and limited performance
RAID, Aggregation, Mirroring, unlimited expansion	Not possible between multiple NAS systems
Simple, easy, no need IP setting	Complex, difficult, IP setting, DHCP setting required
Strong security (Limited to local network, safe from internet hacking)	Weak security (Open to the Internet)
Block level storage (user has full control of storage)	Folder sharing (users can not format, partition or choose other file systems, etc.)
Multimedia application, most suitable for multi-media	Can not support enough performance for multimedia
Consumer electronics compatibility	More difficult to use with consumer electronics
Cost-effective, simple structure, fewer sources of problems	High cost, complex structure, more sources of problems

Cool, hum? I particulary liked the block level storage - wouldn't it be cool to have a bunch of this drives in RAID0 serving for SQL Server or Oracle storage over a Gigabit LAN? And pay €179 for a 400GB storage facility?

Peaty this is a propriety solution, not an open and supported one. Maybe one day...
