EzBackup's
D2D Controller Delivers Fast, Fail-safe
Restores
Patent-pending Hidden Device Technology
ensures integrity of desktop unit's
data
Hollywood, FL, November 19, 2004 - "EzBackup's
a dream come true for every computer user
who ever lost a hard drive," said Data
Protection Solutions by Arco CEO Lawrence
F. Steffann. "We're bringing the industry's
new data storage standard, disk-to-disk
(D2D), down to the desktop, eliminating
failed backups, and, even more crucial,
ensuring successful restores in the process."
The OS-independent EzBackup's
execution of the D2D architecture, Steffann
noted, enables the use of all standard ATA
hard drives, up to and beyond the largest
ones currently available. EzBackup's
two drives may be of varying sizes and from
different manufacturers. "We've applied
DPS by Arco's patented and patent-pending
technologies that have secured leadership
for us in the RAID community to the development
of EzBackup," he said. "The potential
demand for a desktop D2D backup solution
in the SOHO and SMB markets is huge, and
EzBackup fills that requirement in a completely
unprecedented way; its scheduling capabilities
provide users with completely hands-off
data protection."
Arun Taneja of The Taneja Group noted,
"Just because a company is small or
medium size does not mean that its data
is any less valuable than the largest of
the large company's data. The data protection
issues faced with these smaller companies
today are no different either, except they
need a product that is easy to deploy and
to use. EzBackup has all the ingredients
to be such a product."
Steffann noted that EzBackup eliminates the
costs of data loss by preventing it in the
first place. "The number one cause of
data loss, hardware malfunction, is eliminated
by insuring that all of the data is backed
up to a second drive. A fully bootable image
copy ensures that the system can be restored
in a matter of seconds, versus hours. EzBackup's
controller, besides removing the backup load
from the host CPU, requires no drivers, IRQs
or TSRs." Data security is greatly enhanced,
he added, through the application of the company's
patent-pending Hidden Device Technology (HDT).
"HDT's unique capability renders
the backup drive invisible to the system,
except for very short periods of time when
backup, restore, or first time image is performed.
It's also invisible to the user, requiring
no customer intervention or scheduled commands.
We're providing an easy-to-use, Enterprise-class
solution at minimal cost, whether the user's
a SOHO, SMB or Enterprise customer." EzBackup (MSRP $599) is shipping now.
