all display devices connected to the home network such as TVs, PCs,
tablets, and mobile devices.
“AppliedMicro sees advanced storage technology and NAS systems
as the backbone for the digital multimedia lifestyle as consumers

the ability to access and stream these files anywhere through a
growing number of convergence devices,” said Vamshi Kandalla,
Senior Director of the AppliedMicro Consumer SMB Products Division.
“The complete NAS system solutions offer OEMs and ODMs the ability
to take the next-generation capabilities such as storing,
streaming, and sharing directly to the consumer. AppliedMicro has
