February 16, 2009 by Sanjay · Leave a Comment
San Diego, California-based Iomega Corporation has launched a new NAS christened “Stor Center Pro ix4-100″, targeted at small business and remote office requirements.
The StorCenter Pro ix4-100 comes in two capacities – 2TB and 4TB built using four drives that are hot-swap SATA II-based. The system can be operated by a web interface with a dashboard that gives a snapshot of its status. The interface frontends an EMC LifeLine software that runs and manages the system. LifeLine is a Linux-based software developed by EMC, the parent company of Iomega. Computers running OSs such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh can access and back-up their files on the ix4-100 NAS, and the product is equally at ease with formats such as FAT32, NTFS, or ext2/ext3.
The ix4-100 comes pre-configured for RAID 5 and can be configured for RAID 10 and JBOD. There are four USB 2.0 ports which can be used to connect printers (for print-sharing jobs) as well as additional storage. The ix4-100 fits in well within the Windows Active Directory structure, so users in the AD get to access it just like any other resource. Read more
