Iomega revolutionises backup with
HDD performance
NEW
DELHI -- Iomega Corp. recently launched the new Iomega
REVT 35GB/90GB drive, bringing proven hard drive reliability
and performance to the world of removable storage.
As
an alternative to tape, and other backup and archiving
solutions, Iomega's REV drive and 35GB removable REV
disks deliver state-of-the-art server and desktop backup,
while providing businesses and home users with the ideal
portable storage device for sharing and archiving large
files. The drive offers the removeability of tape with
the speed and ease-of-use of HDD. These disks transfer
data up to eight times faster than tape, are smaller
than a deck of playing cards (10x77x75mm). With a maximum
sustained transfer rate of 25Mbps, and using drag-and-drop
random access technology, REV users can copy and restore
individual files in seconds.
With patent-pending advanced two-stage error correction
and patent-pending automatic head cleaning, Iomega REV
technology achieves error rate three orders of magnitude
better than that of today's sealed HDDs. The drive design
keeps the sensitive read/write heads and electronics
sealed in the REV drive, and for increased reliability,
a patent-pending air filtration system creates a virtual
clean room environment inside the disk. The disks provide
durable and reliable shelf life, estimated to exceed
30 years.
Included
with every Iomega REV drive is Iomega Automatic Backup
Pro software, which provides frequent file-level backup
to a REV drive. Once configured, the "no-touch"
software automatically backs up specified files, keeps
multiple backup sets on different destination drives,
excludes user-selected files by file type, and performs
scheduled backups. Powerful professional-level features
include 2.6:1 compression and AES file encryption, along
with support for Windows server operating systems.
Werner
Heid, president and CEO, Iomega, said: "The new
Iomega REV drive is a unique and versatile product that
changes the rules of data backup, combining superior
reliability and performance with breakthrough pricing.
Backing up to tape has always involved compromises because
tape is a relatively fragile, slow and expensive linear-access
technology. Iomega's new REV drive makes backup and
system or file recovery tasks faster, easier and less
costly. Small business owners and IT managers will save
immediately in terms of labour, hardware costs and system
downtime."
