FRESNO, Calif., March 2, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Yosemite Technologies, a leading developer of multi-platform backup and recovery software solutions announced today it has signed a distribution agreement with Actebis Computer A/S, the leading storage and components distributor in the Danish market and the first European distributor to sell the complete line of Yosemite's TapeWare(r) backup and disaster recovery solution in Denmark and Norway.
With this agreement, Yosemite is bringing its commitment to "Backup Simplified" to the Danish reseller community who provide high-performance products to the small-to-medium enterprise (SME). These resellers now have the opportunity to increase profitability while offering their customers an affordable, robust and simple backup solution.
"Actebis Computer A/S has a strong and well established reputation in distributing backup and solutions within the Danish market," stated James Forbes-May, director of EMEA Sales at Yosemite Technologies. "Working with Actebis is an essential part of our goal to expand internationally. This partnership allows us to continue our global expansion and strengthen our position within the IT Storage market in Denmark and throughout Europe."
"We are very pleased to offer the full range of TapeWare products. There is an increased demand for backup software that is easy to acquire, easy to use and that simply gets the job done," stated Christian Luckow, Product Manager for Actebis. "This agreement now means Actebis has the products needed to meet this demand. We think TapeWare perfectly compliments our strong portfolio of backup hardware, as we are seeing customers moving towards software that is simple to install but is ultimately reliable compared to more expensive competing products."
TapeWare is an easy to install and use, multi-platform backup and disaster recovery software solution designed for the SME market. The product incorporates a robust feature-set, including a Web Gateway to provide centralized or remote management for cross-platform environments. The product also features multi-streaming data streams to single or multiple tape devices for fast backup and recovery performance and provides the ability to centrally manage distributed devices to lower the overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) associated with data protection.
"From a technical perspective it is a very big advantage that Yosemite Technologies has a full range of products that stretch from the Desktop to the enterprise, with support for Windows, Netware and Linux multi server environments," continued Luckow.
