Iomega Releases Desktop Network Storage Solution

By DE Editors

The new Iomega StorCenter ix2 Network Storage is a two-bay desktop network storage device available in multiple configurations and designed specifically for content sharing and data protection as well as cloud computing and video surveillance applications at small businesses, work groups, remote offices and distributed enterprises.

Based on enterprise-class EMC storage technology, the solution provides up to 6TB* of network storage for small and medium-sized business networks and distributed or remote locations utilizing PC, Mac and Linux computers. Users can utilize their choice of cloud backup capability with Mozy, Amazon S3 and EMC Atmos-enabled cloud backup services offered by service providers, as well as Iomega’s Personal Cloud technology.

Three models are available: a diskless unit that allows users and channel partners the option to populate the device according to their specific storage needs and pricing preferences; a partially populated unit with one drive (1TB, 2TB or 3TB of total storage capacity) that gives users the choice to increase their storage capacity over time;  and a fully populated unit with two drives (2TB, 4TB or 6TB of total storage capacity) for immediate RAID mirroring data protection and other multi-drive network storage capabilities.
