Iomega selects Quantum for new NAS solutions

Data storage system provider Iomega has chosen data protection systems provider Quantum to provide its tape autoloader products to Iomega for Iomega's new NAS Backup solutions - a series of complete backup, recovery, archive and data protection solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.

Quantum’s Storage Solutions Group will be the source for tape-based archive and disaster recovery products that will be integrated into the new Iomega NAS Backup solutions, expected to ship later this month.

"Iomega’s new NAS Backup bundles provide VARs with turnkey solutions needed to solve the data continuity problems of today’s small and medium-sized businesses," said Werner Heid, president and CEO, Iomega Corporation. "Integrating Iomega NAS servers with Iomega-branded tape autoloaders from Quantum delivers the best of all worlds: shorter backup and recovery windows made possible by the NAS server, and the unbeatable data security and archive advantages of industry-leading tape products. In effect, the end user backs up to NAS, and archives to tape."

Larry Orecklin, president of Quantum’s Storage Solutions Group, said, "Quantum has put much focus on delivering value and performance based autoloaders, and by working together, our companies are combining some of the best data protection attributes of disk-based NAS and tape automation that is easy for users to install and support."
