StorCenter network storage devices for desktop deployments and rack-mounted data center use are aimed at small and medium-size businesses or remote offices for larger companies.
Iomega, which EMC bought in 2008 to provide a top-line consumer brand to go with its enterprise business, is beginning to work its way back upstream into the business market with the help of its parent company.
Iomega on May 4 launched a new line of StorCenter network storage products -- two for desktop deployments and one for rack-mounted data center use. All are designed for small and medium-size businesses or remote offices for larger companies.
The StorCenter PX Series consists of four-bay and six-bay desktop units that take up about a square foot of desk space and a four-bay rack-mount model. All run on EMC's network storage software.
Users have the option to use NAND flash-based solid-state drives in place of spinning disk hard drives if so inclined, Mark Tanguay, Iomega's worldwide manager of network solutions, told eWEEK. This is a first for San Diego-based Iomega.
The PX series also has advanced data protection features that include multiple RAID levels with hot-swappable drives, UPS support, user quotas, device-to-device replication and certification for most virtualization environments, Tanguay said.
