iStorage Online: Key Benefits
Iomega® iStorage Online accounts provide mobile
professionals and small and medium- sized businesses
an extra layer of data protection while offering the
convenience of Internet access. Establishing an Iomega
iStorage Online account offers instant benefits:
- Reliable offsite storage of key files in case of emergency;
- Easy file sharing via a shared account;
- Improved file safety, even while traveling, via scheduled backups;

With customizable capacity from 50MB to 1GB and more,
and the choice of monthly or annual subscription services,
iStorage Online accounts are flexible enough for any need.
A New Level
of Data Security Iomega ensures the integrity
of its iStorage Online service by using redundant infrastructure,
dedicated security processes and software, telco-grade
disk drives, multiple tape backups, and offsite tape
storage. Individual storage accounts are encrypted and
files may also be encrypted for transmission to protect
against such data loss threats as hackers and viruses.
“Storage without security is
only half a concept,” said Susan Huberman, vice
president, corporate marketing, Iomega Corporation.
“That’s why it is so important to know that
your data is safe from computer viruses, hackers and
other disasters. With an Iomega iStorage Online account,
your data can be backed up automatically and accessed
from any Internet connection-- great for when you’re
on the road. Iomega iStorage Online is an excellent
complement to our traditional hardware offerings, providing
anytime, anywhere access and offsite protection for
your key files.”
