POWERFUL DATA PROTECTION WITH MINIMAL EFFORT

We’ve made it easy for small offices and home offices to
secure, protect and access data.
How would lost data affect your business? It’s a situation no business owner wants to be in. The Odyssey™
Removable Hard Disk Storage System from Imation is designed to help small offices and home offices meet
the escalating challenges of data protection by providing fast backups, accurate restores and full disaster
recovery with minimal effort and no technological expertise.
The Odyssey system consists of a docking station, removable rugged cartridges with embedded 2.5-inch SATA hard
disk drives and a full version of EMC®Retrospect®backup and recovery software. It’s a powerful combination; one
that delivers the many benefits of hard disk storage, including ultra-fast and high-capacity automatic backup,
superb security features and immediate access to data. And while the Odyssey system stores data in capacities
up to 250GB, it won’t stop there. It’s designed to accommodate higher capacities as they become available.
But for all of the robust data protection the Odyssey system provides, it’s surprisingly easy to use. Install the
hardware and software, select the desired backup schedule and start protecting your servers, applications,
desktops and notebooks. It all adds up to an efficient, effective solution that will protect the information vital
to the success of your business well into the future.

•Docking station using a USB 2.0 interface
•USB cable
•External universal power supply
•Full version EMC Retrospect backup software
•Odyssey system utility software
•One Odyssey cartridge (40GB, 80GB, 120GB, 160GB or 250GB)
The ergonomically designed Odyssey system is
compact and solidly built. It’s ideal for high-security
storage applications, entry-level backup, large-volume
projects, small business archiving, music, movies,
photography, records of all kinds, categorizing projects
by cartridge and more.

A COMPLETE SOLUTION FROM ONE CONVENIENT SOURCE
Odyssey removable hard disk cartridge
capacities continue to evolve as hard drive
technology advances.
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 40GB, 80GB, 120GB, 160GB and 250GB capacities available. As drives become available,
Imation plans future product line expansions to include 320GB and 500GB capacities.
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.
The Odyssey internal USB docking station
will fit into a floppy disk bay allowing users
to free other bays for optical drives or
additional hard disk drives.
