Iomega has added several new products to its StorCenter line of Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices.
Aimed at small and medium business, the device capacities range from 500GB to 1.5TB, costing between $1,399 and $3,999. All the new StorCenter Pro NAS 250d servers have Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, and are compatible with Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later, Windows and Linux client systems.
They have hot-swappable Serial ATA (SATA) II hard disk drives, and the 500GB model includes a built-in Iomega Rev 70GB drive for backup.
The top system in the new lineup features three 500GB 7200RPM drives and hardware-based RAID Level 0, 1 and 5 support. The 750GB model uses three 250GB drives, and also supports hardware-based RAID Level 0, 1 and 5. The 500GB models include two 250GB drives and support RAID Level 0 and 1 instead. The 750GB and 1.5TB models also have dual Gigabit Ethernet connections with automatic load balancing and an external Ultra 320 SCSI connection.
Print server software is included on some models, and all servers include ARCserve backup software and EMC Retrospect Express.
