Iomega eyes mid-size market
EMC's Iomega has rolled out a 12-bay multi-protocol disc array as it expands its focus from small businesses into the medium-sized business market, says Tech Target.
Analysts claim the Iomega ix12's pricing could disrupt a market that's been a focus of renewed competition among enterprise storage vendors over the past year.
Jay Krone, senior director of EMC's consumer and small products division, says: “Iomega has previously focused on environments supporting less than 100 users, whether in homes or small offices, but the ix12-300r will focus on companies with between 100 and 250 employees to fill a white space that existed between EMC's product lines.”
