PR Newswire (US)
Iomega REV Disks & CA Software Deliver Data Security Safety Net
for Small Businesses SAN DIEGO, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM), a global leader in data storage and
protection, today announced the availability of the Iomega REV SBS
Data Protection Solution for use with both Iomega REV(R) 70GB*
Backup Drives and REV 35GB Backup Drives. Designed to protect and
secure Microsoft SBS (small business server) data for small
business users, the new Iomega SBS Data Protection Solution is an
integrated set of tools for easy data backup, disaster recovery,
and protection from computer viruses. The new Iomega SBS Data
Protection Solution comes with two removable REV disks (either 35GB
or 70GB) as well as CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Microsoft
Small Business Server, including ARCserve backup agents for
Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, open files, SharePoint, and
attached laptops and desktops (5 licenses). CA eTrust Antivirus
completes the package with full antivirus protection for the server
and up to five attached clients. "Data protection should be simple,
but tape-based approaches to data backup have a reputation for
being expensive, unreliable, labor-intensive and slow. Small
businesses need a more dependable, easy-to-use data backup and
disaster recovery solution," said Tom Kampfer, President and COO,
Iomega Corporation. "REV disks combine the speed and reliability of
a hard drive with the removability of tape, providing the ideal
platform for the comprehensive, automated backup of CA BrightStor
ARCserve software. With our reliable, rugged, secure and removable
REV solution, every small business can now simply, quickly and cost
effectively back up their critical data." The integrated management
console for CA BrightStor ARCserve software provides easy access to
security and backup services normally associated with dedicated IT
departments in much larger companies. A highly integrated set of
agents provides scheduled or on-demand backup and restore for
Microsoft SBS Standard and Premium editions. eTrust Antivirus
provides round-the-clock monitoring of new threats, while the
Iomega REV drive and disk technology provides a thoroughly tested
data storage platform and the security of an estimated 30-year
archival life. Improved REV Performance Iomega's new REV 70GB
Backup Drive features improved transfer rates of 30 MB/sec. (max),
versus 25 MB/sec for first-generation REV 35GB products. Both
generations of REV products boast extensive third-party software
support, estimated 30-year archival life, and an estimated one
million rewrite durability -- the kind of performance tape products
such as DAT 72 can never match. And while tape products require
frequent head cleaning, tape retensioning, and an expensive tape
replacement regime, REV drives and disks are designed for
continuous reliable use with zero maintenance. Versus DAT 72, REV
70 is up to 10 times faster, almost double the native capacity, and
a REV 70 drive still costs less. These advantages translate into
the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) of all major backup
solutions. Savings include reduced labor, hardware costs, and
system downtime. Higher capacity REV 70GB disks also reduce time
spent changing media and provide greater consolidation of data.
About REV Products The Iomega REV 35GB Backup Drive is available in
ATAPI, external USB 2.0, FireWire(R), SCSI, SATA and multi-disk
autoloader configurations, including the innovative desktop form
factor REV Loader 280, which utilizes A REV 35GB Drive and up to
eight REV 35GB disks. The Iomega REV 70GB Backup Drive is now
available worldwide in external USB 2.0 and internal ATAPI models.
A REV 70 Drive with a SATA interface will be available shortly, as
well as the REV Loader 560, an eight disk automation loader that
utilizes a REV 70 drive, hence the 560GB of native storage
capacity. Since launching the REV platform in 2004, Iomega has sold
more than 250,000 REV Drives and more than 1.2 million REV disks.
The Iomega REV drive has won more than 20 technology awards
worldwide. Iomega REV products are available from a large base of
value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators (SIs) and others
