Established in the 1980s in Roy, Utah, United States, Iomega sold more than 410 million digital storage drives and disks, including the Zip drive floppy disk system.[6] Formerly a public company, it was acquired by EMC Corporation in 2008, and then by Lenovo, which rebranded the product line as LenovoEMC, until discontinuation in 2018.[7][8]Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4History[edit]Acquisition by EMC[edit]Joint venture with Lenovo: LenovoEMC[edit]1980\u20131999[edit]2000\u2013present[edit]Products[edit]PX4-400d[edit]Lenovo Beacon Home Cloud Centre[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]Iomega started in Roy, Utah, U.S. in 1980 and moved its headquarters to San Diego, California in 2001.[9] For many years, it was a significant name in the data storage industry. Iomega’s most famous product, the Zip Drive, offers relatively large amounts of storage on portable disks. The original Zip disk’s 100MB capacity is a huge improvement over the decades-long standard of 1.44MB floppy disks. The Zip Drive became a common internal and external peripheral for IBM-compatible and Macintosh personal computers. However, Zip disks sometimes failed after a short period, commonly referred to as the “click of death”. This problem, combined with competition from CD-RW drives, caused Zip Drive sales to decline dramatically, even after introducing larger 250MB and 750MB disk versions. Iomega eventually launched a CD-RW drive.[10]Without the revenue from its proprietary storage cartridges, Iomega’s sales and profits declined considerably. Iomega’s stock price, which was over $100 at its height in the 1990s, fell to around $2 in the mid-2000s. Trying to find a niche, Iomega released devices such as the HipZip MP3 player, the FotoShow Digital Image Center, and numerous external hard drives, optical drives, and NAS products. None of these products were successful.[10]In 2012, reporter Vincent Verweij of Dutch broadcaster Katholieke Radio Omroep revealed that at least 16,000 Iomega NAS devices were publicly exposing their users’ files on the Internet. This was due Iomega having disabled password security by default. KLM, ING Group, and Ballast Nedam all had confidential material leaked in this manner. Iomega USA acknowledged the problem and said future models (starting February 2013) would have password security enabled by default. The company said it would clearly instruct users about the risks of unsecured data.[11]Acquisition by EMC[edit]         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The signing ceremony that created LenovoEMC joint ventureOn April 8, 2008, EMC Corporation announced plans to acquire Iomega for US$213 million.[12] The acquisition was completed in June 2008,[13] making Iomega the SOHO\/SMB arm of EMC. EMC kept the Iomega brand name alive with products such as the StorCenter NAS line, ScreenPlay TV Link adapter, and v.Clone virtualization software.[10]Joint venture with Lenovo: LenovoEMC[edit]  In 2013, EMC (part of Dell) formed a joint venture with Chinese technology company Lenovo, named LenovoEMC,[14] that took over Iomega’s business. LenovoEMC rebranded all of Iomega’s products under its name. LenovoEMC designs products for small and medium-sized businesses that cannot afford enterprise-class data storage. LenovoEMC is part of a broader partnership between the two companies announced in August 2012. The partnership also includes an effort to develop x86-based servers and allowing Lenovo to act as an OEM for some EMC hardware. Lenovo is expected to benefit from the relatively high profit margins of the NAS market. LenovoEMC is part of Lenovo’s Enterprise Products Group.[15][16][17]In November 2013, Lenovo announced the construction of a research and development facility near S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. This facility would be dedicated to enterprise software and supporting LenovoEMC’s development of high-end servers and cloud storage. Construction would cost $100 million and about 100 would be employed at the facility. It would be located in the University of Campinas Science and Technology Park, about 60 miles from S\u00e3o Paulo.[18]1980\u20131999[edit]1980: April 1, Iomega Founded[19]1982: Released First Bernoulli Box Drive (10MB)1987: September, Shipped first Bernoulli Box II model (20 MB)1988: Released Bernoulli Box 44 MB drive1991: July, Shipped Bernoulli Box 90 MB drive1992: October, Shipped Bernoulli MultiDisk 150 drive.1994: October, Shipped Bernoulli 230 drive.1995: January, Shipped Iomega Ditto Tape Drive1995: March, Released Zip 100MB Drive1995: December, Shipped Jaz Drive 1GB Drive1997: June, Announced Buz Multimedia Producer1997: November, Unveiled Clik! 40MB Drive1998: February, Shipped Jaz 2GB Drive1998: December, Shipped Zip 250MB Drive1999: Shipped First Internal CD-RW Drive2000\u2013present[edit]2000: September, Launched HipZip Digital Audio Player2000: October, Shipped FotoShow Digital Image Center2000: December, Shipped First External CD-RW Drive2001: January, Announced Peerless Drive System2001: March, Shipped DataSafe Network Attached Storage (NAS) Server2001: July, eliminating .. one-third of its work force, planning to move from Utah to California.[20]2002: April, Announced Portable and External Hard Drive Family2002: August, Shipped Zip 750MB Drive2002: November, Launched USB Mini Flash Drive2003: March, Launched iStorage Online Storage2003: March, Announced External Standard Floppy Drive2003: June, Announced first DVD-RW drive, shipped 50 millionth Zip drive2003: November, Introduced Super DVD QuikTouch2004: February, Shipped CD-RW\/DVD-ROM 7-in-1 Card Reader2004: April, Shipped REV 35GB Drive, shipped Floppy Plus 7-in-1 Card Reader2004: September, Introduced Wireless NAS Server2004: October, Introduced REV Autoloader 10002005: November, Announced ScreenPlay Multimedia Drive2006: September, Introduced desktop RAID storage2008: January, Announced eGo Portable Hard Drive2008: April, EMC acquired Iomega[4][5]2008: April, Announced ScreenPlay HD Multimedia Drive2008: May, Announced eGo Desktop Hard Drive2008: August, Introduced ScreenPlay TV Link Multimedia Adapter2008: September, Announced the new eGo Helium Portable Hard Drive2008: October, Announced StorCenter ix2, announced ScreenPlay Pro HD Multimedia Drive2009: January, Shipped Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive2009: February, Announced StorCenter ix4-100 Server2009: April, Ships the StorCenter ix4-200r NAS2009: May, New Generation of eGo Portable Hard Drives2009: August, Announced StorCenter ix4-200d NAS2009: October, Announced StorCenter ix2-2002010: January, Shipped Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station2010: January, Announced ScreenPlay Media Player, Director Edition; announced v.Clone Technology: Take your PC Virtually Anywhere2010: April, Iomega celebrates 30 years2010: May, Announced StorCenter ix12-300r NAS2010: June, Introduced Skin Hard Drive by Iomega2011: March, introduced Cloud Edition IX series2013: January, Iomega Corporation was renamed to LenovoEMC Limited, which is a joint venture between Lenovo Group Limited and EMC Corporation. Lenovo owns the majority stake in the new company.[21]Products[edit]Iomega designed and manufactured a range of products intended to compete with and ultimately replace the 3.5″ floppy disk, notably the Zip drive. Initial Iomega products connected to a computer via SCSI or parallel port; later models used USB and FireWire (1994).PX4-400d[edit]The 400d was a multi-bay network-attached storage (NAS) device. The 400d was powered by an Intel Atom processor running at 2.13 gigahertz, had 2 gigabytes of RAM, and a SATA 3 controller capable of moving data at 6 gigabits per second. The HDMI-out function enabled monitoring live feeds from surveillance cameras. The unit can be set up and managed without a PC using an external display, keyboard, and mouse. The 400d is LenovoEMC’s first product sold with its LifeLine 4.1 software, which added functions such as a domain mode, enhanced Active Directory support and a more robust SDK. McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator was included for centralized security management. All THINK-branded systems from Lenovo pre-installed with Windows 8.1 included LenovoEMC Storage Connector in order make discovery and set-up of the 400d and other LenovoEMC NAS devices smoother.[22]Lenovo Beacon Home Cloud Centre[edit]At the 2014 International CES, LenovoEMC announced the Lenovo Beacon Home Cloud Centre. The Beacon is a storage device that allows remote sharing of data such as music, pictures, and video. The Beacon allows music and video streaming to multiple devices. Android phones and tablets can be used to control the Beacon. It also has an HDMI port to allow connection to a television or monitor. Up to 6 terabytes of storage, RAID 0 and 1, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth are all supported.[23]See also[edit]References[edit]^ “Executive Profile: Dave Bailey”.
