| Iomega Announces Iomega REV Loader 280 Iomega Corporation has announced the Iomega REV Loader 280, a new desktop autoloader for small business backup and archive duties. Utilizing superior removable technology created by Iomega with standard hard drive components, the Iomega REV Loader 280 provides access to 280 GB (560 GB compressed) of storage, managing up to eight removable 35 GB REV disks in a compact desktop form factor less than 7 inches tall and 5 inches wide. The new Iomega REV Loader 280 connects to a server through a USB 2.0 interface, making it easy to use as a backup and archive device for computers on a network - and far easier and less expensive than traditional SCSI-based tape drives. For small businesses that require professional grade backup with removable media, but desire a simple, hands-off solution, the desktop REV Loader 280 delivers automated, multi-disk data protection at a price similar to single tape drive solutions. Bundled with the REV Loader 280 is a license for CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows including support for disaster recovery. The REV Loader 280 drive uses rugged 35 GB REV disks based on hard disk drive technology. The Iomega REV Loader quietly loads disks as required for continuous, automated data protection. Reliable operation is possible even in dusty or dirty conditions where tape-based backup technologies could fail. The REV Loader 280 is also faster than tape-based automation devices. REV disks deliver up to 25 MB/sec data transfer rates with random access capability, out-performing many tape alternatives such as DDS-4 and DAT-72. In addition to the new desktop REV Loader 280, stand alone Iomega REV 35GB drives are currently available in external USB 2.0, FireWire, internal SCSI, SATA and the REV Autoloader 1000 rack-mounted ten-disk automation device. Today, REV products are available from a large base of value-added resellers (VARs) and systems integrators (SIs) that work directly with small businesses on their storage and data protection needs. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
