Iomega, an EMC company and data protection provider, has launched the Iomega StorCenter PX Series of network storage products, comprised of both desktop and rackmount NAS devices for the use of SMBs and distributed enterprises.
The StorCenter PX Series features four-bay and six-bay desktop models (available through all channel partners and distributors) and a four-bay rackmount model (offered exclusively through CDT for the first 30 days) available at scalable configurations. The desktop models – the Iomega StorCenter px4-300d and the px6-300d – are fitted with a drive carrier than can accommodate 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch HDD drives. The rackmount model – the Iomega StorCenter px4-300r – features redundant power supplies and the features of Iomega’s flagship rackmount array, the ix12-300r.
The optional use of SSD drives and multiple RAID levels with hot swap drives allow for advanced data protection features and performance. For virtualization environments, UPS support, user quotes, device-to-device replication, and certification are available.
The StorCenter PX Series also ranges from diskless devices with no included storage to devices with a storage capacity of 18TB. With Iomega’s Personal Cloud technology, users are able to share data via the cloud. All of the network storage performance has been tested by EMC’s E-Lab.
