The 6TB (3x2TB) StorCenter px6-300d Network Storage from Iomega is a network storage enclosure, perfect for use in small offices, workgroups, and home networks. While it can house up to six 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drives or SSD drives, this version comes with three 2TB drives that boast a disk speed of 7200rpm and the SATA 3Gbps interface. This storage unit connects to your network via dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, and offers advanced features such as iSCSI block access, RAID support, and remote data access. It is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux clients.
Business users will be happy with the vast functionality of the device. It can be connected to a UPS monitoring port, act as a print server of an Axis IP security camera server, and supports rsync device-to-device data replication. Support for Microsoft's Active Directory, user quotas, and user-replaceable drives round out the server's impressive professional feature set.
Home users will be happy to know that the server features built-in support for the UPnP AV protocol. This allows media files stored on the drive to be streamed to DLNA-certified devices, which include many popular digital media players. It also features a BitTorrent client, which allows you to download files shared on the popular peer-to-peer file sharing network directly to the drive -- making it possible to download files when your computer is powered down!
Iomega Personal Cloud
Iomega Personal Cloud is the revolutionary technology that allows you to protect and share your data. Iomega Personal Cloud is a patent-pending, web-based computing architecture that connects your Iomega StorCenter network storage devices to other individuals and/or devices via the Internet. Unlike public and private cloud applications, Iomega's Personal Cloud technology is completely self-owned - so the content and accessibility are always under your control
Backup
Keeping a second copy of your data in an offsite location ensures availability in the event of an unforeseen disaster. Remote backups can run in the background after business hours to eliminate network bottlenecks
Copy Data
Users around the globe can sync files directly between computers as though they were on a local network
Collaboration
Easily set up a shared workspace so that local and remote users can view and edit documents (spreadsheets, presentations, and word processing documents, for example) - especially useful for helping geographically dispersed workers collaborate
Sharing
Sending large files can quickly choke your company's email system. And emailing sensitive files can raise security concerns. Iomega Personal Cloud offers functionality that makes it easy to securely copy and transfer large or confidential files
Security
Iomega Personal Cloud allows you to choose who has access to what data by invitation only. And, users can choose from three levels of security when sending data over a public network. At many smaller companies, locally stored files are at risk from theft, fire, software problems, and hardware failure. Cloud storage offers built-in redundancy at every level: hard drive, server, and datacenter
Low Maintenance
Once the system is set up there is almost no maintenance. You still have to manage user accounts, but jobs like array maintenance and monitoring the health of your data storage simply go away
Archiving
Archiving older files to a remote StorCenter frees up space on your primary StorCenter device for day-to-day business needs. Less capacity required for primary storage saves you money
Additional Features
Capacity
Empty bays are fitted with a drive carrier. This unit supports a capacity of 18GB. Carrier can accommodate 2.5" and 3.5" drives
SSD Support
For I/O intensive applications, the px6-300d can be fitted with solid state drives to boost performance
RAID Support
This server supports RAID 1, 10, 5, and 6. It also supports automatic RAID rebuild and hot swap. JBOD is also supported
Network File Protocols
Supports CIFS/SMB/Rally (Microsoft), NFS (Linux/UNIX), AFP/Bonjour (Apple), FTP, TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, WebDAV, Windows DFS, SNMP
iSCSI Target
