Iomega Launches iStorage Online Providing Secure Storage and Anytime Access

SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 5, 2003 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in portable data storage, today announced a fast, flexible new storage choice: Iomega® iStorage Online. Available now in multiple capacity account sizes for U.S. customers at www.iomega.com, iStorage Online provides users with convenient access to their important files from any Internet connection and makes Web-based storage easy to use, scalable, and secure.

Iomega® 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;
  • Increased flexibility for sending email attachments of any size.
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.”

Iomega iStorage Online accounts are available now for U.S. customers, with prices ranging from $2.49 per month (50MB) to $17.95 per month (1GB), with 100MB, 250MB and 500MB capacities also available. Purchasers of annual subscriptions get two free months and a 30-day money back guarantee.
