For Thousands of Dollars Less, Image Mechanics Offers a Product for Safer, Maintenance-free, Off-Line Data Storage
Co-Founder and Inventor of F.O.A.M., Michael Grecco, Presents at PhotoPlus Expo
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Image Mechanics
is lightening your data load! The company today announced an ingenious
alternative to cumbersome, expensive storage technology. F.O.A.M.
(File Offline Archive Management). The F.O.A.M. insert can safely store
up to 24 bare hard drives (18 within the smaller unit). Using
inexpensive 1.5 or 2 terabyte hard drives, the product can provide 48
terabytes of half-cost storage – saving users in-excess of $4,800.
“As
a professional photographer, I amass a large amount of data,” said
Michael Grecco, co-founder, Image Mechanics. “As a small business owner,
I can’t justify the cost of multiple RAID devices. The F.O.A.M. product
lets me store my data off-line, in a locked file cabinet.”
F.O.A.M.
is safer than traditional methods of storage in three distinct ways.
First, designed to fit into small and large file cabinet drawers, or
bankers filing boxes, F.O.A.M. can be easily locked up. Secondly, the
product is made from specially designed closed cell, anti-static, foam
that protects your drives from static electricity and shock. Lastly,
hard drives are constantly spinning and generating tremendous heat. This
ultimately degrades the lifespan of the storage mechanisms and makes
long term archiving unreliable – a peril no one with this amount of data
can afford to risk. F.O.A.M. is entirely offline, saving the hard drive
from unnecessary damage.
Michael Grecco, co-founder of Image Mechanics, and inventor of F.O.A.M. will be speaking on two occasions at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York City later this month.
