IOMEGA ANNOUNCES NEW ADDITIONS TO NAS PRODUCT LINE

Iomega Corp announced two new entry-level network attached storage (NAS) servers: the Iomega NAS 200d Series 320GB and Iomega NAS 200d Series 480GB servers. Designed for small and medium-sized businesses, remote office and department workgroups, Iomega's new NAS servers come standard with Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003, an industry first in a convenient desktop form factor.

"This is a breakthrough network-attached storage product in this form factor," said Wayne Arvidson, director of the professional storage services at Iomega Corp. "Iomega is offering the first Microsoft-based solution in a package that is perfect for an office environment, sensitive to desktop real estate and noise issues, yet still leveraging the power and protection afforded by our popular rack-mounted models. Because most small offices today are Microsoft-based, Iomega's new 200d Series ensures seamless integration with Microsoft computing environments while also supporting heterogeneous client PCs and network file protocols. Compared with the alternative or proprietary operating systems typically found on products in this range, Iomega's adoption of Microsoft Storage Server 2003 is a huge benefit to our customers."

Iomega NAS 200d Benefits:

• Improves office productivity by facilitating information and file-sharing.
• Protects business-critical information.
• Uses Windows Storage Server 2003 for ease of installation and familiar management tools.
• Uses an extremely quiet and space-efficient enclosure.
• Employs SATA (Serial ATA) hard drives for improved RAID integration, system performance, ease of serviceability and upgradeability.
• Provides 4 USB 2.0 ports and 1 Ultra SCSI 320 port (480GB only) for integrating high-speed backup devices such as Iomega's revolutionary REV drive.
• Provides storage and file-sharing in remote locations with limited IT staff.
• Employs RAID 1 or 5 (200d 480 GB) to protect data against loss due to a hard disk drive failure.
• Supports mixed computing environments -- Windows, Mac, Linux UNIX and Netware.
• Includes Iomega's award-winning Iomega Automatic Backup Software and Computer Associates' eTrust Anti-virus Software for data protection right out of the box.

Compatibility with existing Microsoft Windows environments greatly reduces training needs, operating expenses and total cost of ownership, enabling Iomega's NAS 200d servers to deliver a superior combination of capacity, performance and ease of use in the sub-$2,000 NAS product category.

Benefits Of Microsoft Storage Server 2003

The Iomega NAS 200d Series products offer Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003. Microsoft's operating system software is preconfigured and ready to deploy in minutes. Among the key features in the Iomega implementation of Windows Storage Server 2003 are:

• Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS). Up to 64 point-in-time data restore points can be created per volume, allowing quick restores of deleted or corrupted data.
• Distributed File System (DFS). Simplifies locating and managing data on multiple network servers.
• File Replication Service (FRS). Maintains identical sets of files & directories on different servers & workstations so when a file is updated on one server, the file replication service replaces the corresponding files on other servers.
• Encrypting File Systems (EFS). Stores encrypted data so even if the disk is moved to another system the data remains secure.
