GHENT, BELGIUM and ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - October 6, 2009) - Nomadesk, the easiest and most
secure on-demand file sharing software, today announced a strategic OEM
agreement with the largest provider of broadband cable services in Belgium
-- Telenet. Under the agreement, Telenet's Hostbasket division, which is
Belgium's largest hosting company, will begin offering its SOHO customers
access to Nomadesk's technology. Telenet customers will receive the power
of cloud computing at a nominal monthly service rate, which will allow them
to share, edit, synchronize and backup important documents with as many
team members as needed. The service includes a virtual file server that
gives users online and offline access from anywhere, at anytime.
"The Nomadesk service will bring our customers new and secure ways to share
files and documents in order to boost efficiency of all team members. It
will also reduce the infrastructure cost for our customers dramatically and
boost their agility," said Alex Van Overloop, CEO of Hostbasket. "We are
extremely excited to work with the Nomadesk team to offer innovative and
quality services to Telenet and Hostbasket customers."
Millions of people risk losing their unprotected, critical data every day.
As the amount of unprotected data stored on multiple devices increases, it
becomes harder to synchronize and easier to lose. Keeping data secure,
synchronized, backed up and available can be expensive and require in-house
IT expertise. Whether customers are online or offline, working at the
office or on the road, the Nomadesk service allows business teams to
secure, sync and share data with no limits or change in behavior. Each
virtual file server acts just like a hard drive, storing important
documents in one place with local and remote access from a PC, Mac or
iPhone. Users simply drag and drop their docs into a virtual file server,
and files are immediately encrypted, backed up and available for file
sharing.
"An important criteria for working with Nomadesk was the security both in
the confidentiality and encryption of our customers' data and the
architecture for the storage infrastructure. The comprehensible rights
management and remote wiping of data when a laptop is stolen are features
that make the software one-of-a-kind," said Mr. Van Overloop.
Nomadesk Co-Founder and CEO Filip Tack said: "The Nomadesk/Hostbasket
partnership is synergistic -- it gives Hostbasket's current SMB/SOHO
service offering a boost, while broadening Nomadesk's user base. We have
similar deals in the pipeline all over the world with wireless carriers,
mobile device companies and other global SOHO service providers looking to
expand their customer offering with our award-winning on-demand file
sharing software."
