Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS 200rL Linux Server Delivers Up to 3TB

Iomega Corporation announced the Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS 200rL
Linux Server, a new family of Linux-based rack-mount network attached
storage servers in 1TB, 2TB and 3TB capacities for today’s data-driven
small and mid-sized businesses.

The new Iomega Linux NAS
servers announced today integrate easily into existing networks and
provide high-performance storage for file sharing and backup of
critical data. Prices start at €1,249 (EU) for 1TB of capacity.

Iomega unveils the new Linux-based Iomega StorCenter Pro 200rL NAS servers
at CeBIT 2008.

Ideal for small business or
workgroup network environments, Iomega StorCenter Pro 200rL Linux
servers deliver advanced file services and print capabilities along
with enterprise-level hardware features such as hot-swappable drives
and RAID data protection. Support for Active Directory Service (ADS)
provides domain user and group compatibility with existing Microsoft
Windows networks. Built-in print server capability allows users to
connect and share up to four USB printers on their network, and EMC
Retrospect Express backup software (5 client licenses) is included for
Touch-Free professional-level backup and disaster recovery.

Iomega’s StorCenter
Pro 200rL NAS server uses a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000
Mbps) port to connect to the network and comes with four SATA-II drives
that can be configured for RAID 0 (striping), RAID 0+1 (striping plus
mirroring), RAID 5 (striping plus parity), or JBOD (spanning)
operation. RAID 0 provides maximum performance and operating capacity;
RAID 0+1 and RAID 5 provide maximum data security, protecting all data
even in the event of a drive failure.

The StorCenter Pro 200rL
NAS devices also offer true hot-swappable hard drives, meaning that any
one of the four hard drives in a RAID 0+1 or RAID 5 array can be
removed from the NAS enclosure while it is running. When a replacement
drive is inserted, the NAS device will rebuild the new drive into the
existing RAID 0+1 or 5 array without any interruption or downtime. This
is an enterprise-class feature that Iomega makes truly affordable to
the small business and home office user.

For
secure storage and worry-free backup and disaster recovery, Iomega’s
StorCenter Pro 200rL NAS servers include five client licenses for EMC
Retrospect Express software. Retrospect Express delivers automated,
reliable, cost-effective protection for Windows and Mac 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 backup 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. 

Iomega
StorCenter Pro NAS 200rL Linux servers support clients running
Microsoft Windows Vista/2000/XP Home/XP Professional/XP Professional
x64, Mac OS X 10.2.7 or higher, and Linux distributions, including
Redhat 9, Mandrake 10, Debian 3.0, Gentoo, and FedoraCore 3. Supported
network storage system file protocols include NFS, CIFS, AFP, FTP and
NTFS (read only for externally connected USB hard drives).

worldwide in April for €1,699 (EU); the 2TB Linux model, for €1,449
(EU); and the 1TB Linux model, for €1,249 (EU)
