Pogoplug lets you make your hard drive available anywhere on the Internet
Drives contentment
Your biggest content repository is at home so why not make it accessible?
The trouble with this pervasive computing model is that most of the time, your IT management is all over the place. Some fiendishly clever Californians think they've cracked the problem
Isn't mobile working maddening? I long for the days when I didn't have to email myself files, or save them onto memory sticks. I'm forever forgetting which memory stick holds what version of events.
On the other hand, at home I've got three PCs, all with various weaknesses, and compensating strengths. So I can't really afford to chuck any away, just in case.
Pogoplug is a plug and play device that takes away all the hassle of dealing with your data disparity. It's a comms gadget, which connects to your various PCs, external hard drives, laptops and your router. The upshot is that it unifies all your various disk drives into one - I hate this word, but there you go - Cloud.
There, I've said it. Cloud. The makers of Pogoplug call this your personal cloud. It means you can access any file on any of your machines from anywhere. Even if you're at work. As long as your PCs are pogoplugged into the Internet, you'll be able to see them (provided you know the ID).
This has great productivity benefits. You won't need to copy data onto memory sticks or emails. You won't end up with endless confusing duplicates. You'll save a lot of time by being better organised.
And, best of all, you can share files a lot easier. Anyone, with your permission, could log onto your computer, and view any file you granted them access to. It's a bit like having your own web server, only minus the hosting fees.
It's a consumer product (£99) but there must be endless ways you could use it to make business more efficient. Buy it direct, or order it from here.
