Available in both USB 2.0 and FireWire/USB 2.0. Priced at $119.95 for the 80GB USB model and $559.95 for the 400GB USB/FireWire Combo model. www.kanguru.com.


Disk-to-Disk Backup

The ATAbaby disk-based storage solution from Nexsan uses the latest advancements in Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) technology to help expand storage capacity and improve business continuance. Ideal for small-to-medium campus environments, with up to 1.2 terabytes of storage in a single unit, ATAbaby provides RAID protection in a compact package. Use for primary storage, disk-to-disk backup, or improved workflow. Street Price: $1,900 to $2,500. www.nexsan.com.


Driver Support
The latest version of Bitlogix NetControl, a software-based media control system, offers driver support for the XG-MB70X DLP projector from Sharp: Users can access and control the projector over a computer network. The best part is that users who use both NetControl and Sharp’s XG-MB70X DLP projector will not need an additional Ethernet control interface. An additional bonus is anti-theft control, and event scheduler. NetControl will be offered soon on other projectors, such as those from EIKI, Epson, Hitachi, and Panasonic. Prices start at $1,073 (based on number of users and devices purchased). www.bitlogix.com.
