Chuck,

Great Post.

I have been watching the Iomega/EMC stuff with interest and you have hit the nail on the head. This really does give a cost effective option for companies with small branch offices that need some form of backup, not just for a branch server but also for PC's within the office itself. Although network links dependant something like Avamar could be used to provide a backup solution also. Or maybe it's a cross section of both required depending on the customer.

I have to agree with Dominic. This product can indeed provide an efficient solution for small businesses. I haven't stumbled upon anything as competent as this one.

    Previously, he was with VMware for 2 years, and EMC for 18 years before that, most of them great.

    He enjoys speaking to customer and industry audiences about a variety of technology topics, and -- of course -- enjoys blogging.

    Chuck lives in Vero Beach, FL with his wife and four dogs when he's not traveling. In his spare time, Chuck is working on his second career as an aging rock musician.

    Warning: do not ever buy him a drink when there is a piano nearby.

    I try and write something new 1-2 times per week; less if I'm travelling, more if I'm in the office. Hopefully you'll find the frequency about right!
