Iomega and Acronis hope to change that by teaming up to bring high quality, saving hassle-line Iomega px series NAS entire optional $ 49 upgrade.
Acronis Backup & Recovery for Iomega NAS is a new NAS backup approach, installing a new backup engine resident who brings the NAS to a first-class citizen rather than a dump.

The real deal here is the combo package. Iomega offers new and a combination of both NAS backup software with a license for the OEM version of Acronis Backup and Recovery 11.5 for servers for $ 249 existing customers.

"Typically we and our competitors have provided backup software PC. Server Backup is something that is unique in our storage space products to offer ;. it is logical for us now is working closely Lenovo ThinkServer and [Offering] Acronis Backup and Recovery 11.5 really sends a message to a small business they can use Acronis on PCs, servers, and now the NAS.

In North America, the line px series will continue as it is, and Acronis Backup NAS can be purchased as an upgrade directly from Acronis. "The feedback we received from the channel and the channel sales team is that NAS products with many iterations already based on capacity, adding additional iterations for packaged software in the channel would source confusion and complexity, "says Marc.
