| Seagate Ships Maxtor Fusion Seagate Technology unveils new Maxtor Fusion personal media solution, which provides one safe, central location on your network to hold large amounts of digital photos, videos, music and documents. It includes a simple, yet powerful interface and a rich web application, licensed from software maker Fabrik Inc., that makes it easy and fast to organize, retrieve, access, blend and assemble all types of multimedia content for sharing personal experiences, events and memories with others over the web, either privately or publicly in a secure manner. Suited for families, creative professionals, bloggers, scrapbookers and anyone who enjoys creating, viewing and sharing a large amount of digital content, the Maxtor Fusion solution provides a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet network port and a half-terabyte (500GB) of networked storage that can be accessed from anywhere via the web. Users of all popular operating systems can share and enjoy content from the comfort and familiarity of their secure browser. Built on a new breed of software applications designed for the web, the Maxtor Fusion personal media solution provides the flexibility and responsiveness generally associated with desktop applications. Designed for the Web 2.0 world, and with advanced technologies like Ajax, users easily flow through what would normally be a cumbersome set of tasks without disruptive browser-refreshing. Users can easily drag and drop files within the solution's browser, quickly preview and select images, videos, music and other files using thumbnails, and view content via slideshows, lists and other viewing options. Leveraging existing media player browser plug-ins, such as Windows Media Player and QuickTime, the user interface provides a smooth and seamless experience when playing slideshows, videos and music. While many social Web sites today allow users to store and share only one type of media like photos or video, Maxtor Fusion users utilize the same simple yet sophisticated interface to tag, search, blend and share videos, music, photos and files quickly and easily. Users can organize files "anyway they think". Maxtor Fusion's personal organization structures are very flexible so a variety of multimedia files can be organized by tags, date, description, metadata, folders or any combination of methods. To view shared content, invited guests simply click on an emailed web link where they're directed to the content stored on Seagate's Maxtor Fusion personal media solution connected to your home network. No online registration is required for access. If desired, users can create a number of login names and passwords for their frequent guests. With the Maxtor Fusion solution from Seagate, users can create "microshares" to share multimedia content with small, select circles of people in a safe and secure way, or they can create "microlinks" to link personally-selected content to blog sites or online auction and social sites like eBay or MySpace. For those with content that they wish to boast to the world, the Public Site feature enables quick and easy creation of a personal web page made up of pictures, video clips, music and even documents that you select. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
