Seagate FreeAgent DockStar Network Adapter Announced

Marvell announced today that Seagate is using Marvell Sheeva CPU technology to power the new Seagate FreeAgent DockStar network adapter. The Seagate FreeAgent DockStar network adapter is designed to change the way people control the access and sharing of their content by creating their own personal storage ‘clouds’ of their documents and multimedia content located within the safe confines of their home.

“The Marvell SheevaPlug™ is designed to make it easy for companies and developers to create applications, services, and devices with a quick turnaround time to market,” said Dr. Simon Milner, Vice President and General Manager of the Enterprise Business Unit, Consumer and Communications Business Group at Marvell Semiconductor. “We are delighted to see a major OEM partner, such as Seagate, adopt and roll-out a Plug Computer-based product into retail channels.” Marvell introduced the Plug Computing initiative to make high-performance, always on, always connected, and environmentally friendly computing readily available for developers and end users. A Plug Computer is small enough to plug directly into a wall socket and is designed to draw so little power that it can be left on all of the time. Unlike other embedded devices in the home, it contains a gigahertz class processor to offer PC class performance.
