The Next Big Storage Opportunity: Small Office and Home Networks
In-Stat estimates that by 2009, the average person will have nearly 1 terabyte of digital data

— data that is
usually stored on a local hard drive or even on a specific device, such as a camera. This astounding growth rate
is the side effect of our now-digital lifestyle, which includes both the paperless office and the digital home. We
now use a variety of digital tools in the workplace, including PCs, PDAs, and industry-specific digital devices like
medical imaging or surveillance systems. Our homes are no different, with digital cameras, video recorders,
digital music players, networked gaming consoles, and home PC networks.
Even so, small businesses and consumers have so far been left out of the network storage fast growing trend.
High cost, complexity and a lack of small-network solutions are all to blame. But these neglected market
segments have a critical need to improve data availability to multiple users. And because most operate without
dedicated IT support, few properly protect their data with backup.
For these reasons, industry experts believe that small office and home networks are ripe for network storage.
They now need –
and want
– solutions that are of enterprise quality but of a cost and function that fits their
environment. Accordingly, these experts predict strong demand for small business and digital home storage and
data protection solutions for many years to come.
The Intel Entry Storage System SS4200-EHW is the ideal solution for this market segment. It’s easy to use,
flexible, reliable and powerful – all in a package that can be customized by you to fit in with your product line and
meet your customers’ needs.
