Iomega Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., the Asia-Pacific headquarters of Iomega Corporation, announced the release of two new StorCenter network storage products: the Iomega StorCenter Network Hard Drive 500GB and the Iomega StorCenter Wireless Network Storage 1TB.
Designed for secure data sharing across the network in small business and home settings, Iomega's latest network storage desktop products give users simple, lightning-quick access to data, easy expandability, RAID data security, automatic data backup, and the convenience of built-in print server and media server features, the company said.
The StorCenter Network Hard Drive 500GB will be available in India at a suggested retail price of Rs 33, 932 and the StorCenter Wireless Network Storage 1TB at Rs 54,332.
Joseph Saroukhanian, senior product manager, professional storage systems, Iomega Corporation, said, "Network storage devices are gaining in popularity with small businesses and advanced home users for a simple reason: they meet a growing need for anywhere, anytime access to data. Iomega's StorCenter storage devices are easy to utilize, and they include sophisticated network features that save users' time and money."
The StorCenter Wireless Network Storage 1TB features a Gigabit Ethernet connection and four 250GB hard drives that can be utilized in a RAID 5 configuration (striping plus parity). Users also have the option of RAID 0 (striping) for all-out performance or RAID 1 (mirroring) for data protection. Built-in wireless 802.11g networking is protected by a choice of WPA or WEP data encryption, providing the flexibility of secure username and password authorized access with cable-free placement anywhere in the home or office.
The "little brother" Network Hard Drive features a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet interface and two 7200 RPM drives for a total native capacity of 500 GB. The combination of small size, quiet operation, ease of use and high capacity makes it ideal for home offices and small businesses. It offers professional features such as RAID 0 (striping) for performance or RAID 1 (mirroring) for data protection.
Both the new drives provide multi-platform support, including Microsoft Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP, Mac OS X 10.2.7 or higher, and Linux distributions Redhat 9, Mandrake 10, Debian 3.0, Gentoo, FedoraCore 3.
