Iomega announces professional storage solutions for SMBs

NEW DELHI -- Iomega Corporation, a global leader in data storage and one of the major players in India, recently announced two new professional storage products, the Iomega NAS 200d w REV and the internal Iomega REV 35GB SATA Drive. Demonstrating Iomega's commitment to the needs of SMBs, these products not only deliver on important file-sharing and storage requirements, but also create a new product category - a single network attached storage (NAS) appliance with removable REV storage built in.

The 200d series 320GB drive with Iomega REV storage is the first NAS server which offers full-featured NAS services and high-performance REV 35GB storage backup in a single desktop box. REV drive backup enables administrators to reduce the backup window by up to a factor of eight, giving them the reliability and performance advantages of a hard drive with the removability of tape. All Iomega 200d storage servers come standard with Computer Associates' eTrust antivirus software version 7.1.

The REV drive shines as an alternative to hard drives and tape drives for portable applications. REV disks are much more rugged than portable hard drives and just as fast-a sizzling 25 MB/sec (maximum native transfer rate)-with an estimated 30-year shelf life and one million rewrites.

Both the products announced recently ship with Iomega Automatic Backup Pro (IAB Pro) software, providing users with a complete client backup solution. IAB Pro software offers the choice of continuous real-time backup or easy configuration of scheduled backups if preferred. Users can backup multiple file revisions, maintain security with password protection and AES file encryption, and make each storage dollar go farther with up to 2.6:1 file compression on typical uncompressed office documents

Wong Chuan Yong, manager, product management, Asia Iomega Pacific, said: "We kept the features customers loved about the 200d - the small size and quiet operation - and added features that deliver improved value and a better backup and archiving experience. The new Iomega NAS 200d models with Microsoft Windows Print Server and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 database support options can now carry more of the load for regular network servers, and the built-in REV drive is a first in this category."
