Online Storage Company Dolly Drive Introducing NAS Dock Station

Dolly Drive, a provider of all-in-one subscription software and online storage services designed for Mac, unveiled a storage solution, Dock Station.

The new product, which offers Mac users backup, sync and storage on a private cloud, was on display in the storage/data section at NAB Show.

Dock Station is a NAS that gives Mac users Dolly Drive’s cloud productivity and protection services on their own private local cloud network. The data on Dock Station can then be backed up online for additional redundancy.

Founded in January 2011, Dolly Drive gives Mac users offsite cloud storage directly through Apple’s Time Machine application. The all-in-one-subscription service incorporates backup, file sync and storage capabilities in an application. In addition, it allows users to create a bootable clone of their Mac on an external hard drive for local disaster recovery.

"Dolly’s new Dock Station essentially takes all of Dolly’s features and services and powers them through one simple, incredible, connected device," said Leigh Kessler, head of marketing, Dolly Drive. "IT professionals responsible for multiple Mac users in various locations can ensure that employees’ work is backed up locally while giving them cloud productivity tools like file syncing and sharing and cloud storage – all in a single Apple-friendly interface."

"With Dolly’s new product, subscribers are able to backup their files to Dock Station from anywhere using Time Machine," Kessler said.

Dock Station can push a user’s data directly to Dolly Drive’s data center, offering the offsite protection of cloud storage and reducing demand on each computer’s broadband and CPU capacity.

"This frees up their Mac’s resources and lets Dolly Dock do all of the work. Simply put: if you are a Mac company and you backup, you should use this product," Kessler added.

Controlled by a single admin tool, Dolly Drive – named Best of Show and Best Software by Maclife Magazine at last year’s Macworld Expo – provides more data protection and accessibility for Mac users. Each user can customize the way they use Dolly cloud storage. Whether it’s to help four people in a home environment, or 40+ people in an office setting, i keeps everyone’s data backed up and ready to access, anytime, anywhere.
