Iomega Ships Network Storage Servers For Small-Biz

The StorCenter Pro NAS 150d server sports disk drive hot-swap capability. It also is designed to offer users a backup option, along with a secure site for business files, photos, music, and multimedia content.

"Today, millions of small offices and homes rely on a network to share and consolidate data or to share an Internet connection or printer," said Tom Kampfir, president and COO of Iomega, in a written statement.

Iomega is shipping two versions of the server. The 1-Tbyte model is based on four hot-swappable SATA II 250-Gbyte hard drives. The 2-Tbyte model is based on four hot-swappable SATA II 500-Gbyte hard drives.

Both servers are set up to be configured for striping (RAID 0), mirroring (RAID 1), and striping along with parity (RAID 5) operations.
