TerraMaster, a professional brand specializing in innovative storage products, today announced the launch of four new enterprise rackmount storage servers: the U8-725, U12-725, U12-725 Plus and U16-725 Plus. Designed for medium and large businesses, creative studios, virtualization environments, surveillance deployments and AI-driven workloads, the new lineup combines high-performance processing, flexible storage expansion, high-speed networking and integrated data protection to provide a scalable platform for demanding business environments.

Powered by TerraMaster's TOS 7 AI-native operating system, the new servers are designed to support multiple business-critical workloads from a single platform, including enterprise file services, media collaboration, virtualization, centralized surveillance storage, AI dataset access, backup and disaster recovery. The Ux-725 series is built around Intel Xeon D processors and features ECC memory, NVMe SSD cache acceleration and high-bandwidth networking to provide responsive performance for business applications, virtual machines and large file transfers.

Following the recent release of the Intel USB4Stream protocol enabling direct PC-to-PC file and peripheral sharing on Linux, Intel has officially released Thunderbolt Share for Windows, which accomplishes the same thing on Windows over a Thunderbolt 4 or 5 connection. Thunderbolt Share allows the same peripheral and file sharing, backup, and migration capabilities as the Linux USB4 protocol, but with an official GUI and somewhat more limited compatibility thanks to a required Thunderbolt Share certification. The software is currently available to download from Intel directly.

Thunderbolt Share works with a direct PC-to-PC connection as well as in cases where two systems are connected via an accessory, like a dock, hub, or monitor. Additionally, only one device in the chain needs to be Thunderbolt Share licensed. There is a list of Thunderbolt Share licensed products on a website hosted by Intel, although it currently appears to be limited to a handful of MSI laptops, nine ASUS, HP, and Lenovo pre-built desktops and DIY motherboards, a smattering of Thunderbolt docks and hubs, an ASUS Thunderbolt 5 expansion card, and a Sparkle Thunderbolt 5 eGPU dock.
