D-Link Launches ShareCenter™ + 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage Enclosure with mydlink™ Cloud Services, Zero Configuration

Enables Media Streaming, Sharing, and Storage – Remotely

Dubai, THE UAE — Today D-Link announced the DNS-327L ShareCenter + 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage Enclosure, the newest member of D-Link’s award-winning ShareCenter family. A fast and flexible solution for home data storage, backups, and media streaming, the DNS-327L supports D-Link’s unique free-to-use Cloud Services to provide these capabilities remotely on any mobile device or PC. With Zero Configuration capability, the DNS-327L is also easier than ever to set up.

With a DNS-327L at the center of your digital life, the possibilities are practically endless: stream music from your home library on your smartphone in the car, or copy it for later. View your HD movies on the main TV in your living room without turning on the computer, or play them on any other device in any room (even your hotel room). Show your friends vacation photos from your home collection on your iPad while at your favorite coffee shop, or anywhere else you happen to be. The DNS-327L re-imagines home storage for today’s mobile needs.

"With free-to-use mydlink Cloud Services and Zero Configuration, the DNS-327L brings a new level of convenience to file storage, sharing, and media streaming. What’s more, D-Link is now leading the way in providing these capabilities remotely. Media and documents stored on the DNS-327L are instantly available on any Internet-connected mobile device, so all your movies and music are at your fingertips no matter where you go. You’ll never run out of media or forget a crucial file at home,” said Harrison Albert, Regional Director at D-Link Middle East & Africa.

Create a Personal Cloud
Today’s smartphones and tablets have become central to daily life. Unfortunately, they seldom come with enough storage capacity for all our data. The DNS-327L, with support for free-to-use Cloud Services, sidesteps this limitation by offering practically unlimited storage for your home content library, and enabling you to reach it from all your devices at any time. That means no more time wasted managing files or deciding which of your movies and music to synch. Whatever you need is available whenever you want, in your own personal cloud. Files for work or school can be kept there too, completely eliminating the possibility of forgetting that big presentation or assignment.

Stream and Share Multimedia – Remotely
Where the DNS-327L really shines is with media. Being DLNA certified, it can serve your collection to a huge variety of standalone media players and video game consoles. You can stream media directly on your TV without turning on your computer, removing the need for a dedicated media PC. Those with an iPod, iPhone, or iPad will also appreciate the iTunes media server integrated into the DNS-327L. It even comes with a P2P download engine that simplifies the process of downloading new content. Streaming and P2P functions work remotely through the mydlink portal, so you enjoy truly anywhere, anytime access. Because it’s your media, you enjoy what you want, on any of your devices, without the additional cost of subscription to a streaming service.

Effortless Setup with Zero Configuration
The DNS-327L sets a new standard for ease of use with support for D-Link’s unique Zero Configuration capability. When paired with a compatible D-Link Cloud Router, the DNS-327L will be automatically detected and configured; all it takes is inserting a drive or two and pressing a button. With the aid of a convenient software wizard, drives can optionally be installed together in a RAID 1 configuration to prevent data loss if one drive fails. Alternatively paired drives can be installed in one of any three additional modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0). Feature-rich backup software and support for Apple Time Machine help ensure the integrity of your most important data from all of your devices.
