Iomega REV Disks & CA Software Deliver Data Security Safety Net for Small Businesses SAN DIEGO, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM), a global leader in data storage and protection, today announced the availability of the Iomega REV SBS Data Protection Solution for use with both Iomega REV(R) 70GB* Backup Drives and REV 35GB Backup Drives. Designed to protect and secure Microsoft SBS (small business server) data for small business users, the new Iomega SBS Data Protection Solution is an integrated set of tools for easy data backup, disaster recovery, and protection from computer viruses. The new Iomega SBS Data Protection Solution comes with two removable REV disks (either 35GB or 70GB) as well as CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Microsoft Small Business Server, including ARCserve backup agents for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, open files, SharePoint, and attached laptops and desktops (5 licenses). CA eTrust Antivirus completes the package with full antivirus protection for the server and up to five attached clients. "Data protection should be simple, but tape-based approaches to data backup have a reputation for being expensive, unreliable, labor-intensive and slow. Small businesses need a more dependable, easy-to-use data backup and disaster recovery solution," said Tom Kampfer, President and COO, Iomega Corporation. "REV disks combine the speed and reliability of a hard drive with the removability of tape, providing the ideal platform for the comprehensive, automated backup of CA BrightStor ARCserve software. With our reliable, rugged, secure and removable REV solution, every small business can now simply, quickly and cost effectively back up their critical data." The integrated management console for CA BrightStor ARCserve software provides easy access to security and backup services normally associated with dedicated IT departments in much larger companies. A highly integrated set of agents provides scheduled or on-demand backup and restore for Microsoft SBS Standard and Premium editions. eTrust Antivirus provides round-the-clock monitoring of new threats, while the Iomega REV drive and disk technology provides a thoroughly tested data storage platform and the security of an estimated 30-year archival life. Improved REV Performance Iomega's new REV 70GB Backup Drive features improved transfer rates of 30 MB/sec. (max), versus 25 MB/sec for first-generation REV 35GB products. Both generations of REV products boast extensive third-party software support, estimated 30-year archival life, and an estimated one million rewrite durability -- the kind of performance tape products such as DAT 72 can never match. And while tape products require frequent head cleaning, tape retensioning, and an expensive tape replacement regime, REV drives and disks are designed for continuous reliable use with zero maintenance. Versus DAT 72, REV 70 is up to 10 times faster, almost double the native capacity, and a REV 70 drive still costs less. These advantages translate into the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) of all major backup solutions. Savings include reduced labor, hardware costs, and system downtime. Higher capacity REV 70GB disks also reduce time spent changing media and provide greater consolidation of data. About REV Products The Iomega REV 35GB Backup Drive is available in ATAPI, external USB 2.0, FireWire(R), SCSI, SATA and multi-disk autoloader configurations, including the innovative desktop form factor REV Loader 280, which utilizes A REV 35GB Drive and up to eight REV 35GB disks. The Iomega REV 70GB Backup Drive is now available worldwide in external USB 2.0 and internal ATAPI models. A REV 70 Drive with a SATA interface will be available shortly, as well as the REV Loader 560, an eight disk automation loader that utilizes a REV 70 drive, hence the 560GB of native storage capacity. Since launching the REV platform in 2004, Iomega has sold more than 250,000 REV Drives and more than 1.2 million REV disks. The Iomega REV drive has won more than 20 technology awards worldwide. Iomega REV products are available from a large base of value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators (SIs) and others that work directly with small businesses on their storage and data protection needs.
