Features & Benefits:

Designed to be used with next-generation cartridges, ensuring a smart investment for years to come.
The docking station is at the heart of the Odyssey system, and for a very forward-thinking reason. It’s designed to work with the higher-capacity hard disk cartridges of the future, products that haven’t even been developed yet. Unlike tape drives, which lack future format capabilities, you’ll be able to use the Odyssey docking station as next-generation cartridges enter the market, ensuring reliable, cost-effective data protection for years to come.

Imation currently has 80GB, 120GB, 160GB, 250GB and 320GB capacities available. As drives become available, Imation plans future product line expansions to include 500GB and beyond.

AES encryption protects sensitive information and meets compliance requirements.
It’s not surprising that EMC Retrospect backup software has earned top awards and broad industry acclaim. It’s the first backup and recovery software to receive government certification for 256-bit AES data encryption on backup media, enabling you to meet stringent compliance requirements and prevent unauthorized access to information. Multiclient functionality enables efficient backups of multiple computers through a networked workstation. And password protection provides yet another level of security for sensitive information, including credit card transactions, Social Security numbers, and medical and bank records.

Built to withstand shock and electrostatic discharge.
When we say that the Odyssey system is designed to ensure data security from the inside out, we’re not kidding. Odyssey hard disk cartridges are built to withstand a 900 G-force shock, the equivalent of being dropped from one meter onto a concrete surface. And that’s not all. The cartridges also mitigate data loss caused by static buildup. They’ve been tested to validate data integrity in the event of electrostatic discharge experienced during normal handling and transport.

The benefits of hard disk. The portability of tape.
Hard-disk technology is the gold standard for speed and convenience, precisely the benefits the Odyssey system affords. The system also ensures that accessing data is almost instantaneous, thanks to drag-and-drop file access that makes moving and manipulating data as easy as the click of a mouse. Imation offers both an internal and external docking station so no matter what your application, there is an Odyssey system available to meet your needs. And, unlike tape drives which you have to replace, you don’t have to invest in a new Odyssey docking station when cartridge capacities change, thus lowering your overall cost of ownership. What’s more, Odyssey hard disk cartridges are small enough to fit into a pocket, enabling you to readily secure, access, transport and store large volumes of data.

Keep your assets working for you with total data protection.
Few things are more central to the success of your business than the information you’ve acquired, so don’t risk losing it to user error, computer viruses or failure, or an unforeseen disaster. Put the Odyssey Removable Hard Disk Storage System from Imation to work for you and enjoy the best in secure, fast, expandable data protection.
