Maxtor Shared Storage Plus Solution Now Offers Easy-to-Use
Centralized Storage, File Sharing, Backup and Media Streaming for
Mac Users MACWORLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Maxtor Corporation (NYSE:MXO), the leader
in consumer storage and backup solutions, today announced that it
will be shipping its Maxtor Shared Storage Plus solution with Mac
OS X version 10.4 "Tiger" support in February 2006. With the same
simplicity and ease of use found in all Maxtor external and network
storage solutions, the enhanced Maxtor Shared Storage Plus solution
makes it easier than ever for Mac OS X users to connect, store,
share, stream, print, and automatically back up computer files,
digital photos, music and videos to one central location on a home
or small office network. "After years of helping the Mac community
store and protect data, our simple, elegant and automatic backup
experience is now available for Mac users across our entire family
of Maxtor OneTouch and Maxtor Shared Storage external storage and
backup solutions," said Stacey Lund, vice president of marketing,
Maxtor Branded Products Group. "With the new Maxtor Shared Storage
Plus, Mac OS X users can rest assured they now have the ability to
easily centralize and automatically back up all data on their home
or small office network." "We're thrilled that the popularity of
Mac OS X opens doors for developers to create innovative solutions
across a broad range of markets," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice
president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "As the use of digital
media grows rapidly there's strong demand for a centralized place
to securely store, back up and share content so we are delighted to
see Maxtor make it easier for Mac users to protect their digital
media files." As home network adoption continues to
grow-approximately 61.9 million home networks will be deployed
worldwide by the end of 2006 (IDC 2005) -- the need for a simple
and easy-to-install centralized storage solution becomes paramount.
For instance, many first-time home network buyers are interested in
sharing entertainment content between different devices, including
using both Macs and PCs on a shared network. With the new Maxtor
Shared Storage Plus solution, a family could simultaneously listen
to a music collection via a networked sound system upstairs, play
movies on a networked theatre system in the living room and view a
slide show of recent vacation photos on a laptop in the kitchen.
Because the Maxtor Shared Storage Plus solution is designed to DLNA
guidelines and based on UPnP AV industry-standards, consumers can
easily share their digital content with a broad array of consumer
electronics devices on the market. Key features and benefits of the
new Maxtor Shared Storage Plus solution include: -- Supports
Bonjour for automatic network configuration, providing quick and
easy installation for Mac users. -- Up to 20 users can
simultaneously access and protect their files using multiple Macs
or PCs on a shared network. -- A quick-start CD automatically gives
Mac or PC users a desktop icon for easy access to a shared public
folder and a set of personal, password- protected private network
folders. -- The solution includes two USB ports to connect and
share two USB printers or two additional external storage drives or
one of each. -- Industry-compliant media serving capabilities allow
users to stream content on compatible UPnP AV digital media
adapters for viewing content on televisions or listening to music
on stereo systems. -- Users can set privacy levels for shared
folders with an intuitive browser interface. -- To organize digital
files, Maxtor's exclusive Drag and Sort feature automatically
identifies and sorts more than 100 different file types and puts
them in specific music, photo, movie, Web, software or documents
folders. -- The solution's SimpleView feature acts like a built-in
IT administrator, providing detailed backup and storage status at a
glance to all users on the network. -- Integrated and easy-to-use
software allows users to automatically back up hours of creative
work stored on networked Mac or Windows computers, such as digital
video and audio files as well as vital home or business documents.
