Seagate Technology today announced the availability of two new network
storage products aimed at small office and home network (SOHO) users. These are-
the Seagate Mirra Sync and Share Personal Server, an easy content management
solution that provides automatic and continuous data protection for multiple
users, synchronization and remote access to data anytime, anywhere; and the
Maxtor Shared Storage II, a simple shared storage solution, providing up to one
terabyte of capacity for automatic backup, centralized storage and media
playback for listening to music and viewing digital content on connected
entertainment devices. Both products will be available this month from major
resellers and retailers.

“To help address the continuing market need for simple, easy-to-use network
storage for the small business and consumer market, Seagate is focused on
delivering a broad array of fully-integrated products with robust feature sets
to simplify the task of storing, protecting, managing and sharing content,” said
Rajesh Khurana, Country Manager, Seagate, India & SAARC. “Whether in a small
business or home environment, our customers benefit from years of engineering
innovation and market-leading features to manage the fast rise in consumption
and creation of commercial and user-generated digital content.”

The Seagate Mirra Sync and Share Personal Server combines effortless digital
content protection with secure remote access and sync and share. Connected to a
router, Seagate Mirra Personal Server continuously and automatically protects
important content on all networked Mac or PC computers, while providing 24x7,
over-the-web access to your business or personal content.

With Seagate Mirra Personal Server, small office and home office users can
simply and securely share photos, files and documents with other networked
computers or with anyone who has an e-mail address. Ideal for small business
users, stored and shared files can be automatically synchronized among networked
computers, ensuring others are up to date with the latest changes to key
documents.

The enhanced Maxtor Shared Storage II solution provides up to one terabyte of
capacity to share, storage and can automatically backup computer files, photos,
music and digital videos to one location on a home or small business network.
Its user-friendly interface provides easy set up and backup scheduling of
networked computers, data restoration and media playback to networked
media/entertainment systems without being tied down to a dedicated computer
host.

Mirra Sync and Share Personal Server will be available in 320GB and 500GB
capacities for a recommended retail price (RRP) starting Rs 23,500. The Maxtor
Shared Storage II solution will be available in a 1TB capacity model and will
