Matthew writes: TiVo, the maker of popular video recorders, has announced a new line of enterprise ready network attached storage devices.
“We bringing a lot of value added to the enterprise market. As anyone can tell you, TiVos are by far the most reliable device containing a hard disk drive ever made. They run 24×7, they never crash–they’ve got 99.9999% uptime dialed. You can’t get those reliability numbers from traditional servers.”
“Plus, we’re bringing our pattern detection technology to the Enterprise as well. Just like the way a TiVo will recommend shows that fit your demographic, TiVo servers will recommend documents you’re going to want to read. If you’ve been reading a lot of gossip about Janice in HR in your e-mail, TiVo is going to recommend documents that contain Janice’s name on the hard disk.”
New Tivo Servers are expected to debut at $2999, with a $125/month fee for maintaining a directory of files on the device.
