Next Generation NAS Is Industry's First 1TB Product With True Hot
Swappable Drives for Less Than $800 SAN DIEGO, Jan. 23
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM), a global
leader in data storage and protection solutions, today announced
the worldwide availability of the affordable new Iomega(R)
StorCenter(TM) Pro NAS 150d Server, a cost-effective, powerful
network storage solution for small businesses and advanced home
users alike. "Today, millions of small offices and homes rely on a
network to share and consolidate data or to share an internet
connection or a printer," said Tom Kampfer, President and COO,
Iomega Corporation. "For these users, the new Iomega StorCenter Pro
150d NAS Server is a breakthrough product bringing the best
combination of features and performance (including true disk drive
hot swap capability), software and support available in the market
today. The StorCenter Pro 150d NAS Server gives users an unbeatable
backup location for every computer on their network. It also gives
them a secure site for business files, photos, music and multimedia
content and other data. And with the 1TB model of the 150d
available for less than $800, small office and home users can now
have their own powerful network storage solution at a fantastic
price." Two models of the new Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS 150d Server
are included in today's announcement: a 1TB model based on four
hot-swappable SATA II 250GB hard drives, and a 2TB model based on
four hot-swappable SATA II 500GB hard drives.* Both StorCenter Pro
NAS 150d Server models can be configured for RAID 0 (striping),
RAID 1 (mirroring), or RAID 5 (striping plus parity) operation.
RAID 0 provides maximum performance and operating capacity; RAID 5
provides maximum data security, protecting all data even in the
event of a drive failure. Network Attached Storage Essentials - And
Extras - at a Great Price In creating the StorCenter Pro NAS 150d
Server, Iomega focused on NAS essentials with the priority on value
and simplicity for the home and small office user. The result is a
fast, quiet, and easy-to-use device. A Gigabit Ethernet port speeds
network performance, and Iomega's Discovery Tool software makes
setup virtually automatic. The StorCenter Pro NAS 150d Server
provides RAID 0, 1, and 5, supporting computers running the
Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac operating systems. Print server
functionality for up to four printers is built in; simply connect a
printer to the included USB 2.0 interface. For backup from client
PCs, Iomega also includes a five-client license for EMC(R)
Retrospect(R) Express. The new Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS 150d
Server is the first 1TB product at this price point to offer true
hot swappable drives, meaning one of the four hard drives can be
removed from the 150d while in operation and a replacement drive
inserted, and the 150d will rebuild the new drive into the existing
RAID 1 or 5 array without any interruption or downtime. Only Iomega
makes this "enterprise class" feature affordable to the small
business and home user market segment. Software Included For secure
storage and worry-free backup and disaster recovery, every
StorCenter Pro NAS 150d Server includes five client licenses for
EMC(R) Retrospect(R) Express software. Retrospect Express delivers
automated, reliable, cost-effective protection for Windows(R) and
Mac(R) users. Its award-winning design makes it easy to set up and
manage highly efficient backups on any personal computer, greatly
simplifying disaster recovery. Users can back up open files, verify
backup integrity during the backup, have scheduled backups proceed
even without logging in, and recover individual files or a complete
system to any point in time. Compatibility Iomega StorCenter Pro
NAS 150d Servers support clients running Microsoft Windows
Vista/2000/XP Home/XP Professional/XP Professional x64, Mac(R) OS X
10.2.7 or higher, and Linux distributions, including Redhat 9,
Madrake 10, Debian 3.0, Gentoo, and FedoraCore 3. Supported network
file protocols include Microsoft, Linux/UNIX, Apple, Internet and
FTP. Price and Availability The StorCenter(TM) Pro NAS 150d 1TB
Server is available worldwide for $799; the StorCenter(TM) Pro NAS
150d 2TB Server, for $1,499. (All prices are suggested US retail.)
