Netgear buys Infrant
by Volker Weber
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – May 3, 2007– NETGEAR, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically advanced, branded networking products, today announced the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held Infrant Technologies, Inc.
I am very excited about this. So far Netgear only had SAN devices, which required proprietary drivers on the client. Since there were none for Macs, this was a PC only game. Infrant on the other hand has excellent NAS devices which communicate via standard protocols. Netgear will be able to sell a lot more of those devices than Infrant ever could. Which will bring the price down. Boy, do I want a ReadyNAS+.

But you won't get mine ;-)
Apart from the first memory chip - which was faulty and was swiftly replaced without any problems -, this is the coolest device I've ever seen.
We will see how support is affected. I pray it'll remain at the same level.
ReadyNAS NV+ and happy. 'Nuff said.
Somebody saw that coming... If you look at the data sheet for the ReadyNAS NV+ you'll find the Netgear logo in the PDF.
