![]() The concept is simple, and thankfully, so is the product. Given the scale of digitalisation and evolution of sophisticated new cyber threats, it's no longer a matter of if, but when a cyber attack will strike and how prepared are partners and customers with a cyber resilience strategy to get back up and running again.I like innovative products and after spending some time with the Seagate FreeAgent DockStar, I think it’s just that. Channel community unites to kick-start ARN Innovation Awards 2022 Building cyber resilience - a partner action plan More than 700 executives came together under the ARN roof to celebrate ecosystem excellence and customer value at the Innovation Awards in 2022, recognising market-leading partners, vendors, distributors, telcos, start-ups and individuals across Australia. Channel honours ecosystem excellence at ARN Innovation Awards 2022 Channel community unites to kick-start ARN Innovation Awards 2022 ![]() Market-leading partners, vendors, distributors, telcos, start-ups and individuals were honoured during the Innovation Awards in 2022, as ARN raised the bar for ecosystem excellence in Australia. ![]() Slideshows Channel honours ecosystem excellence at ARN Innovation Awards 2022 I'd also like to see a multiple file upload available for the Pogoplug Web application.īottom line: The DockStar could soon become my preferred method for sharing digital media (especially photos), playing music from anywhere, and inexpensively adding network storage to your system. It would also be easier to transfer files to the portable hard drive directly via USB from all your computers first, rather than doing transfers after you've connected it to the DockStar. Some caveats: While the hardware installation and activation was easy, it would have been nicer to have the software (the Pogoplug client software and the iPhone app) bundled along with the device (instead of downloads available on the Web site). Furthermore, you can upload photos from the iPhone to the DockStar, making this an easy way to get photos off the iPhone and into your central network. The iPhone app lets you stream music files to the mobile device, as well as view and download photos. Second, Pogoplug offers a very handy iPhone/iPod Touch application, providing mobile access to files stored on the DockStar. ![]() This gives you easy access to drag-and-drop files to and from the drive (a lot easier than doing it through the Pogoplug Web application). First, there's PC client software that lets you mount the drive on your PC a lot easier than the standard Windows method. Two additional software downloads are available from Pogoplug that make the DockStar even more valuable. Advanced features let you set up folders for a Twitter, Facebook or RSS feed, among others. For example, if you have a bunch of photos that you want to show to Mom, you can just create a folder on the DockStar drive, enable sharing and then invite Mom via e-mail to let her see the pictures. The Pogoplug site and service is also very cool - in addition to providing access to the DockStar, the service lets you share files and folders with others. Installation was very easy - just power up, connect an Ethernet cable, attach the drive and then activate the service via a Web browser. Why it's cool: This is a quick and relatively inexpensive way to turn your portable hard drive into a NAS box. The system includes software from Pogoplug that lets you access files from the DockStar from any Web browser via the Internet. Additional USB ports on the DockStar also let you attach non-Free Agent hard drives to the device, or to create additional storage capacity. What it is: A small docking station for Seagate's FreeAgent Go portable hard drives, the DockStar connects via Ethernet to a home router to turn that hard drive into an instant network-attached storage (NAS) drive for the home network. The scoop: FreeAgent DockStar, by Seagate, about $US100
