Bringing Digital Content to Life, a Series of New Products Are
Scheduled in 2006 to Help Consumers Organize, Share, Protect and
Access Their Content Anytime, Anywhere MILPITAS, Calif., April 10
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The way people access, share, view and
experience digital content is quickly evolving, and storage pioneer
Maxtor (NYSE:MXO) is introducing several new products to address
these changing consumer needs. Mike Williams, vice president and
general manager, Maxtor Branded Products, today presented the
future of storage innovation, and outlined a series of new products
that Maxtor will make available through its retail and distributor
channels during the second quarter. "Maxtor's goal is to help
people bring their digital content to life through an extended
family of simple, elegant and intuitive solutions that allow people
to expand, protect, and now easily organize, personalize and share
their digital lives," said Williams. "Maxtor is well-positioned to
provide groundbreaking solutions and services, building off our
years of success in launching value-add products." New or enhanced
products scheduled in the second quarter of 2006 for consumers,
creative professionals and small business owners include: * The
Maxtor OneTouch(TM) III, Mini Edition, a sleek, portable storage
solution that allows people to easily take their digital content on
the go, whenever and wherever they want it, and to back up and
share their files, photos, music and video while away from home or
office. Specific features, including an industry first, will be
available later this month. * Maxtor "Project Fusion," a code name
for a portfolio of products and online services that will be
available later this quarter offer consumers a new level of
flexibility and control for storing, organizing, accessing and
sharing personal digital content. Through a licensing agreement
with Fabrik, Inc., the software developer that is driving the wave
to transform content to experience, Maxtor "Project Fusion"
solutions represent a simple yet powerful way to help transform
scattered piles of video, pictures, music and documents into
personalized digital experiences that can be shared to reflect an
event, an occasion, a person, an activity or even a mood. * The
Maxtor Shared Storage(TM) II is the next-generation, three-in- one
network storage device providing centralized storage, automated
backup and media streaming to multiple connected devices on a home
or small office network. The enhanced family of products will
include a more robust design, a lightening-fast Gigabit Ethernet
interface, user-configurable RAID for enhanced read/write speeds or
mirroring capability for ultimate data redundancy, and capacities
up to 1TB. "Each of these innovative solutions addresses today's
needs for managing and sharing digital content, and complements
many of the newer trends that are being adopted more widely, such
as online video distribution, social networking, blog creation and
home networking," said Williams. "These changing consumer interests
and market dynamics are creating a demand for products and services
that help us manage our content, regardless of data type, to easily
share and enjoy with our family and friends or publicly on the
Web." "The surge in personal media and the emerging technologies of
Web 2.0 are forming a tipping point for new solutions that provide
consumers with better ways to find and use the plethora of content
that they have amassed over the years," said Mike Cordano, CEO and
co-founder of Fabrik Inc. "Users no longer want to pass a few files
around as a token memory -- they want to relive or share richer and
warmer digital entertainment experiences. With their market
strength and leadership in consumer storage, Maxtor is an ideal
partner for helping to co-market our weblication solutions.
Together, Maxtor and Fabrik hold a common vision for extending the
personal storage fabric into a social fabric that facilitates
personal expression and interaction through an unlimited blend of
audio, video, photos and documents." "The explosive interest in new
forms of self-expression like blogs and social sites indicates that
we're moving from mass media to 'my media,'" said Rob Enderle,
president, The Enderle Group. "There's an Internet transformation
taking place right now. As people change from passive Web surfers
to active content creators who post their own text, video and audio
online, there's a growing need for better digital content
management tools to help organize and retrieve files. Maxtor's
latest offerings are a step in the right direction for consumer who
want to truly harness their content, giving them the freedom to
better manage and share their digital lives." Mike Williams
