Iomega Launches Comprehensive Service Programs For Network Attached Storage Customers

SAN DIEGO, November 6, 2002 - Iomega Corporation(NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data storage, announced today the introduction of Gold and Gold Plus service plans for its network attached storage (NAS) customers. The company launched these new services in conjunction with the debut of its newest NAS product, the Iomega NAS P415.

Iomega NAS products come with a limited warranty of one, two, or three years, depending upon the model. The Gold and Gold Plus service plans extend the limited warranty to three years for models with a one or two-year limited warranty. In addition, the Gold plan offers one year of onsite, next-business-day repair coverage. The Gold Plus service plan includes three years of onsite, next-business-day repair coverage.

Both service plans incorporate 24x7 phone and email technical support services, as well as Iomega's award-winning Web-based customer support, which features 24x7 one-on-one "live chat".

"With solid products and dependable NAS technical support services, Iomega is delivering a total solution to our NAS customers, reinforcing our promise of easy to use and easy to maintain solutions," said Mike Nikzad, director, worldwide customer satisfaction, Iomega Corporation. "Many of our customers are small and medium-sized business owners who are managing several critical job responsibilities. Having a reliable service plan that reduces the total cost of ownership is a critical factor in their decision to purchase a storage solution."
