D-Link Introduces ShareCenter™ 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage Enclosure with mydlink™ Cloud Services

New cloud Network Attached Storage Enclosure allows remote users to view documents and multimedia anytime, anywhere, from any device

09 korrik, 2012

D-Link today introduced the latest addition to its cloud family; the ShareCenter™ 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage Enclosure   (DNS-320L). This new 2-bay storage device is DLNA-certified, providing convenient remote access to files and multimedia from the industry leading mydlink™ website or mobile app available for iPhone®, iPad® or Android™ devices. Once up and running, registered mydlink™ users can play stored music, watch videos, and view photos on their ShareCenter™ instantly and directly from any Internet connected device.

In any digital home, it is not uncommon to find multiple computers and mobile devices each with different files and media spread across them. However, this important digital data is often not shared or backed up between computers. If any computer fails due to a virus or hardware problem it can mean the loss of priceless family photos, essential documents, and purchased digital media. Thus, having an external backup is vital for preserving this valuable data. The ShareCenter™ 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage Enclosure presents an ideal solution-a secure, central space where an entire library of important files can be stored, while remaining accessible from anywhere.

“Being able to securely access shared files while at home or on the go is a necessity in today’s digital, on-the-move world. Fortunately, this new storage device is a part of our cloud product range, which integrates with mydlink™ Cloud Services to eliminate any technical challenges associated with securely accessing files remotely,” said Kevin Wen, President of D-Link Europe. “No amount of storage is useful unless it’s readily available. That’s why we’ve made Cloud Storage products so easy to access from any Internet-enabled device with mydlink™ Cloud Services – so that documents and multimedia are instantly available at the touch of a screen.”

Create a Personal Cloud
Smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices provide users with the ease and convenience of portability. Unfortunately, this portability often comes at the expense of space for storing files and multimedia. With the ShareCenter™ 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage Enclosure, these limitations are a thing of the past, with up to 6TB storage capacity for a content library that is accessible virtually anywhere. This new ShareCenter™ device achieves this by establishing a ‘personal cloud’ that allows owners to access and maintain control over their digital content. Once registered to mydlink™ Cloud Services, content stored on this device is reachable from any compatible web browser or from a mobile device running the mydlink™ app for iOS or Android™.

Stream and Share Multimedia
The ShareCenter™ 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage Enclosure is a convenient repository for files of any type, but is especially suited for multimedia such as digital audio, video, and photos. This ShareCenter™ device is DLNA certified, ensuring interoperability with a variety of standalone, mobile, and personal computer-based media players. ShareCenter™ owners with a media player like the Boxee Box by D-Link can stream media directly to their TV without the need for an always-on computer. iPod®, iPad®, and iPhone® users who want to stream their library can benefit from integrated iTunes media server, while content-hungry consumers will find a built-in P2P download engine that hastens the process of downloading new content to the Network Attached Storage device.

Straightforward Installation and Configuration
The ShareCenter™ is designed to be easily set up in minutes. With 2-bays, each currently supporting 3.5” Hard Drives of up to 3TB in capacity, owners need simply open a hatch, slide in a Hard Drive or two, and power on. A convenient set-up wizard simplifies the process of initialising and formatting new drives. High capacity drives can be installed together in a RAID 1 configuration to prevent against lost data in the event of Hard Drive failure, or alternatively installed in one of any three additional modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0). Feature rich backup software and support for Apple® Time Machine are included to help ensure the integrity of important data from one or more computers.

D-Link Green
As part of D-Link Green, the DNS-320L also includes several features which make it both environmentally-friendly and cost-effective. Hard Drive power management and Smart Fan speed control reduce energy costs, minimise noise, and prolong the lifespan of installed Hard Drives.
