Docking with ease

Johannesburg, 28 Sep 2006

Leading IT infrastructure distributor Axiz introduces the new HP 3-in-1 Network-Attached Storage (NAS) Docking Station for data backup, recovery and file sharing in addition to all the conveniences of docking.

Designed for mobile professionals that demand desktop-like ergonomics and expandability from their notebook while in the office, the HP 3-in-1 NAS Docking Station provides the right balance of key features including port replication, cable management and security.

The 3-in-1 features an integrated 160GB 7200rpm SATA hard drive which is accessible as a network drive for secure and reliable data backup and recovery. HP`s Backup and Recovery Manager Software allows for convenient automatic or manual system backup to prevent data loss and reduce potential downtime.

"With professionals spending less time in the office and with a combined urge to be as efficient as possible, they tend to spend insufficient time backing up their data," comments Adele Oosthuizen, HP product manager, Axiz. "The HP 3-in-1 NAS Docking Station allows for permanent set-up to maximise the time professionals spend at their desks effectively working rather than grousing against the IT support team."

The HP 3-in-1 NAS docking station includes an easy-to-manage file sharing solution that`s enables administrators to set-up and manage access to the network drives via an embedded NAS Configuration Utility. Subdividing the disk space into "pools" and controlling access with encryption passwords. Authorising users to save and retrieve data from anywhere within the network.

Besides being a robust `all-in-one` mobile office solution offering the basic benefit of a docking station such as port replication, cable management, and security but it features MultiBay II and ExpressCard slots for future expansion. The six USB ports including two network USB ports allow the docking station to be used as a network print server.

With compatibility across most HP business notebook accessories, the HP 3-in-1 NAS docking station provides a hassle-free work experience.
