CES 2011: Iomega Announces Personal Cloud Storage

We're at CES and we've just heard about Iomega's Personal Cloud Storage solution.  Available in 1TB and 2TB models, users can easily share and access files (photos, videos, documents, etc.) from anywhere, like they're right on the local network.  Iomega claims it's a breeze to set up and that it'll support up to 250 users.  If you're worried about security, access is only granted to those with appropriate permissions, and 128-bit encryption is used to protect your data while in transit on the Internet.  It should be available worldwide later this month: $169.99 for the 1TB model, and $229.99 for the 2TB model (U.S. suggested retail).



According to Iomega:

Iomega Personal Cloud is a patent-pending technology that connects desktop Iomega network storage devices to other devices—like PCs, Macs®, iPhones®, iPads®, and more*—via the Internet. Unlike public and private cloud applications, the Personal Cloud is completely self-owned and managed, so the content and accessibility is always under your control, and there are never any usage fees or subscription charges.



*Availability of iPhone/iPad application is expected in early 2011.
