SSD Support: For I/O intensive applications, the px12-450r can be fitted with solid state drives to boost performance. SSD drives sold separately.

Redundant Power Supply: Ships with dual hot swappable power supplies for 1+1 redundancy

Storage Pools: Storage Pools group drives of like size and RAID protection together to simplify management. Optimize block storage performance with dedicated iSCSI storage pools.

Network File Protocols Supported: CIFS/SMB/Rally (Microsoft), NFS (Linux/UNIX), AFP/Bonjour (Apple), FTP, SFTP, TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, WebDAV, Windows DFS, SNMP.

iSCSI Target provides block-level access for the most efficient storage utilization, especially for backup, database and email application performance. It can be used in parallel with file-level storage access via CIFS/NFS. Includes support for SCSI-3 persistent reservations.

Server-class Pedigree: Server class drives; certified for VMware vSphere 5.0, Citrix XenServer, Windows Server2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2. EMC E-Lab tested

Business-class Features: Windows Active Directory Trusted Domains, Microsoft Cluster Server and Hyper-V Live Migration support

Advanced Networking Capabilities:
    · NIC bonding for failover and load balancing including 802.3ad link aggregation.
    · Jumbo frame support for 4000 and 9000 byte payloads.
    · VLAN Tagging capability to IEEE 802.1Q standard.
    · iSCSI persistent reservations for clustered Microsoft environments.

Data Replication / Device to Device Data Copy Jobs:
    · Easily copy files to and from attached USB drives or any network share – including Iomega Personal Cloud locations – using the secure rsync or CIFS protocol.
    · Define your Copy Job to copy/synchronize files to and from connected drives and/or any other shared storage on your network.
    · Schedule jobs to run on a predetermined schedule.

Application Manager: Third party applications can be installed using the embedded application manager.

Data Organization and Access: Windows DFS organizes folders and files on a network, such that they appear to be all in one directory tree on a single Iomega StorCenter system, even if the folders reside on many devices in many different locations. WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) enables viewing, adding, or deleting files on a StorCenter from the web, via HTTP or HTTPS for added security.

Power Savings:
    · Automatic hard drive spin-down assure the most efficient (minimal) power consumption.
    · Scheduled Power: Automatically power on or turn off your Iomega StorCenter at a pre-selected time schedule.
    · Wake-On-LAN: Powers on your Iomega StorCenter when a “magic-packet” wake-up signal is sent over the network.(Wake-On-LAN magic packet application not included)

Print Server: Intelligent print sharing capability for up to 3 USB printers connected to the StorCenter px12-450r.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Support: Enables unattended system shutdown via the USB port without data loss in the case of power failure.

Simple Management: Fast, three step set up with an intuitive web-based interface. Web interface can be accessed locally or remotely. Configuration Backup and Restore: allows you to back up and restore system configuration information. Backing up a configuration saves various system properties, including users, groups, device identification, and Share names and permissions.

System Status: Consolidated resource on space utilization, device information, and status. In addition, you can manage controls such as device restart from here.

SMART Hard Drive Monitor: Continually monitors and reports on the health of all drives in the Iomega StorCenter system.
