CMS EXPANDS CAPACITY OF PORTABLE DESKTOP STORAGE SOLUTIONS.CMS (1) See content management system and color management system. (2) (Conversational Monitor System) Software that provides interactive communications for IBM's VM operating system. Peripherals, a leading provider of hard drive upgrades and portable automatic backup solutions for notebook and desktop computers, recently announced the expansion of their Desktop Automatic Backup System Noun 1. backup system - a computer system for making backups ADP system, ADPS, automatic data processing system, computer system, computing system - a system of one or more computers and associated software with common storage (ABS) for Windows 98/Me and 2000 users to include 80GB capacity solutions. Using a USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. interface, the ABS delivers up to 1.5 MB/s performance, offering users a stable high data throughput for backup, additional storage and file or system recovery. The USB interface also enables users to backup and share files among multiple USB-enabled notebooks, desktops and workstations. Once connected, the unit's exclusive patent-pending "Automatic Launcher" technology initiates either a full or incremental backup See backup types. (operating system) incremental backup - A kind of backup that copies all files which have changed since the date of the previous backup. The first backup of a file system should include all files - a "full backup". Call this level 0. as designated by the user or IT manager. Costing only $12.50 per gigabyte (GB), as opposed to removable media In computer storage, removable media refers to storage media which can be removed from its reader device, conferring portability on the data it carries. A removable drive is a reader device for such media. costing nearly $60 per GB, the Desktop ABS is not only easier to use, it is also far more economical. Because user data is mission critical, storage requirements continue to surpass hard drive and server capacity. Demands for higher capacity portable mass storage are on the rise. Using the Desktop ABS is as easy as plugging in the included USB cable. Backup tasks can be configured for the entire system, or just certain files. To take advantage of any remaining hard drive space on the ABS, users can easily create additional file folders on the ABS to store "occasional use" files and programs that don't need to remain on the host computer. For fast retrieval, the ABS can be accessed as an additional drive letter by the host computer. "The Desktop ABS can also provide enough external storage to more than double a PC's life-cycle," said Ken Burke, president of CMS Peripherals. "The ABS can easily run applications, organize data by project, client, template or application, and decrease network traffic infrastructure requirements." The entire line of ABS solutions support flexible data interchange, backup, archival and migration of data with one of the market's lowest total cost of ownership (TCO (1) (Total Cost of Ownership) The cost of using a computer. It includes the cost of the hardware, software and upgrades as well as the cost of the inhouse staff and/or consultants that provide training and technical support. See ROI. ). The Automatic Backup System for the desktop is available now in capacities of 20GB, 30GB, 40GB, 60GB and 80GB capacities with a three-year warranty. Estimated street prices (ESP (1) (Enhanced Service Provider) An organization that adds value to basic telephone service by offering such features as call-forwarding, call-detailing and protocol conversion. ) range from $399 for the 20GB solution, to $999 for the 80GB. |
