Businesses with 50 or fewer employees, including home-based
businesses, need to store ever-increasing amounts of critical
business and financial data, and protect that information against
loss. Though their budgets are limited, their storage and backup
needs are just as vital as those of the world’s largest multinational

files regularly, and even fewer have the luxury of IT support. Seagate
Technology is answering this need for high-volume storage that
