Iomega StorCenter ix2 – NAS for SMBs

The Iomega StorCenter ix2 is one of the latest NAS devices in the market targeted at SMBs. This network attached storage is easy to set-up and offers more than just 2 terabytes of storage space. It offers what the company calls advanced information management, software for sharing and protecting information, and Bluetooth compatibility for wireless connectivity when desired.

The 2TB Iomega StorCenter ix2 is available for $479.99. Two drives of 1 terabyte each make up the 2TB storage device. The Iomega ix2 supports both FAT32 and NTFS formats. The drives are inaccessible and you cannot alternate data between a slow-access memory and a fast-access memory; swapping out and swapping in is the jargon for it. The Iomega ix2 is an ideal purchase for small offices looking to increase productivity and accessibility to data in a local network. Home users can store all their music in various formats, digital photos, documents, videos, academic papers, etc on the NAS and can access them via a number of consumer electronic appliances such as cell phones, PDAs, etc. A neat little feature attached to the StorCenter ix2 is digital video surveillance capability for tracking and recording activity in the vicinity. This NAS device from Iomega has a footprint smaller than a large dictionary.

Iomega has paid particular attention to data security and the ix2 utilizes cutting edge security technology from RSA, which is the security wing of Iomega. Top notch data security means that the centralized database is secure from hackers, malware, and viruses anytime it is accessed via the Internet.
