StorCenter™ ix2-200 Network Storage, Cloud Edition
Iomega Personal Cloud
Iomega® Personal Cloud is the revolutionary technology that allows
you to protect and share your data. Iomega Personal Cloud is a
patent-pending, web-based computing architecture that connects
your Iomega StorCenter™ network storage devices to other
individuals and/or devices via the Internet. Unlike public and private
cloud applications, Iomega’s Personal Cloud technology is
completely self-owned – so the content and accessibility is always
under your control.
Synchronization
: Users around the globe can sync files directly
between computers as though they were on a local network.
Collaboration
: Users can view and edit documents (spreadsheets,
presentations, and word processing documents, for example) –
which is especially useful for helping geographically dispersed
workers collaborate in real time.
Sharing
: Large video, audio, and graphic art files can quickly choke
your company's e-mail system. And e-mailing sensitive files can
raise security concerns. Iomega Personal Cloud offers drag-and-
drop functionality that makes it easy to securely transfer large or
confidential files.
Security
: Personal Cloud is actually far more secure than what
most SMBs can do in-house. At many smaller companies, locally
stored files are at risk from theft, fire, software problems, and
hardware failure. Cloud storage offers built in redundancy at every
level: hard drive, server, and datacenter.
Low Maintenance
: Once the system is set up there is almost no
maintenance. You still have to manage user accounts, but jobs like
array maintenance and monitoring the health of your data storage
simply go away.
Archiving
: Archiving older files to a remote StorCenter frees up
space on your primary StorCenter device for day-to-day business
needs. Less capacity required for primary storage saves you
money.
Backup
: Keeping a redundant copy of your data in an offsite
location ensures availability in the event of an unforeseen disaster.
Remote backups can run in the background after business hours to
eliminate network bottlenecks.
