Small Business NAS, Big Business Features!

At LenovoEMC, we have revolutionized NAS by helping you maximize savings and improve data protection. Our NAS servers offer world-class features that store, manage, and protect your valuable files at an affordable price.

What is Network Attached Storage?

As its name would imply, a Network Attached Storage (NAS) server is a computing device that can be attached anywhere on a network. Its sole purpose is to store files and make them available to authorized network users. NAS devices offer a number of benefits over alternative storage methods. Clients can directly access the storage device, independent of a specific network or application server, thereby enhancing overall network performance, while improving storage accessibility. NAS servers offer the ease of use and flexibility small and mid-size businesses need, while providing the superior data protection they demand.

Case Study: Polish Insurance Provider Takes No Risks by Trusting Lenovo for Storage Needs
Digital technology has brought tremendous efficiencies to sectors like insurance, where the ability to take pictures of incidents – such as for example damage caused to a car in a collision – can help to speed up the claims process for all parties.

InfoWorld Review: NAS shoot-out: Iomega StorCenter px6-300d
The six-bay Iomega StorCenter px6-300d is the largest array you can get from Iomega before you venture into rack-mount servers, and it's just the kind of box you'd expect to see in a remote office or small to medium-sized business. Considering Iomega's parent EMC is a leader in the enterprise storage market, I had high expectations for this solution.

SearchSMBStorage Review: Iomega PX Series Review: The px4-300d
Overall the px4-300d nicely fills the gap in Iomega's product line for SMBs that are looking for an affordable storage device. The ability to choose your own drive types and sizes, as well as use SSD drives, is probably the biggest improvement over the ix4-200d. In addition, the PX Series has enough enterprise-like features such as Active Directory, SNMP and cloud integration that allow it to be used in a variety of environments.

The ix4-200d comes with big business features-backup software from storage giant EMC (Iomega's parent company), RAID configuration, Gigabit Ethernet, remote access, iSCSI support, etc.-but Iomega designed the desktop storage server for small offices with 50 or fewer employees. It also supports PC, Mac or Linux systems.


SlashGear Review: Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 NAS
Compared to the ix2, the ix2-200 is a significant improvement, not least for the native Time Machine support for OS X users and the power saving functionality. The enterprise functionality may mean relatively little for the StorCenter ix2-200 target audience, but drive redundancy and the flexibility of print and media servers, backup and cost-efficient pricing make this a successful improvement on the first-gen NAS.


Gizmodo Review: Iomega ix2-200 NAS
The ix2-200 is so packed with stuff that it should satisfy the needs of just about any user who's hurting for a network storage solution. It's a cheaper alternative than Windows Home Servers, and can do just about all the same things. Plus with its user-replaceable drives and three USB ports, you can easily upgrade the storage yourself and expand your storage after the fact.

Not only is it a nice big target for Time Machine backups, it's also an iTunes server and a Bittorrent machine. It plays nice with the Mac, and is dead easy to set up and use.


SmallNetBuilder Review: Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d
Iomega is on a mission to remake its StorCenter NASes into better combatants in today's bare-knuckled NAS competitive arena. If the StorCenter ix4-200d is any indication, it's going to be a fairer fight than it has been... The ix4 is Iomega's best NAS yet...

The TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award winning Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 is a formidable contender in the market for network attached storage (NAS).
