GENEVA, November 7, 2002 ? Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data storage, today launched the Iomega® NAS P415 in both Microsoft and UNIX versions, adding a 720GB NAS (Network Attached Storage) server to its family of NAS products. Designed for the growing storage needs of every sized businesses and enterprise workgroups, the NAS P415 offers easy installation and seamless support of multiple network environments and file protocols. In addition, Windows® Powered units give users the choice of high-performance Gigabit Ethernet or SCSI backup options.
"Whether it's a small office or an enterprise workgroup, one of the biggest IT challenges today is managing and storing the exponential growth of data," said Ulrike Tegtmeier, VP & managing director, Iomega Europe. "Iomega not only designs NAS products to be flexible and easy to use, but also to be cost-effective solutions for organising and protecting critical data while keeping an eye on the bottom line. The new Iomega NAS P415 models deliver high-end features at dramatically lower costs."
Zane Adam, director of product management and marketing, Microsoft Enterprise Storage Division, said, "Iomega has a history of offering reliable and easy to use products. With Windows Powered NAS, Iomega now provides a powerful solution for every business. Offering simplicity of deployment and management, Windows Powered NAS provides these organisations with a highly reliable solution that can be up and running within 15 minutes.

Features
The NAS P415 ships with the new Iomega Automatic Backup software, a data protection programme that automates designated file backups. Hardware features include a 1 GHz Intel® Pentium® III processor; hot-swappable 180 GB ATA hard drives; RAID 0, 1, and 5; and dual 10/100 Ethernet ports. Iomega NAS P415m servers add a choice of SCSI or Gigabit Ethernet configurations.
Iomega NAS servers powered by Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Advanced Server operating system also feature support for Distributed File System service (DFS), which simplifies linking additional Iomega NAS servers to the same network; Active DirectoryTM Services (ADS), which simplify the management of users, servers and policies; Persistent Storage Manager (PSM), a network data protection program; and File Replication Service (FRS).
Ease of Use
"This class of NAS box attacks the fastest growing segment of the entire mid-market," said Steve Duplessie, senior analyst, The Enterprise Storage Group. "A product with this density, simplicity, and price can't help but win. All this, combined with Iomega's channel, sounds like a killer combination to me."
All Iomega NAS servers simplify the process of adding network capacity and help reduce downtime. They allow network managers to consolidate data from platform-specific servers across the network into one easy-to-maintain device.
