LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., Sept. 26, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Tanagra, Inc., a worldwide provider of file management and backup solutions for the digital consumer, today announced it will offer its high-performance file management and backup software, Memeo, to the SOHO and SMB markets.
"Many small businesses, lacking IT resources, do not back up their data at all, and only a small percentage back up their data to a remote site," said Doug Chandler, Program Director at IDC. "Tanagra's Memeo addresses the need for backup in home offices and small businesses by automatically backing up data without IT assistance."
"We originally only offered Memeo to the consumer market, but we have seen an increased demand in the SOHO and SMB markets -- mainly because other enterprise-class backup solutions can cost upwards of $50,000 or more. Small businesses typically don't have that type of budget nor do they have internal resources necessary to maintain a reliable backup strategy," stated Hong Bui, CEO and Co-founder of Tanagra. "Memeo is everything a small business needs. It's cost-effective, easy-to-use, powerful, and reliable. It requires no maintenance and has everything other business-class solutions have at a fraction of the cost, which makes it the perfect backup solution for any small network environment."
Memeo offers disaster protection with its optional iDisk feature, which allows users to store vital data online and off-site without the hassle of swapping tapes and drives and having to ship that data to a remote location. Memeo is multi-destination solution that works with a wide range of on-line and off-line storage devices simultaneously, which provides flexibility and investment protection.
Memeo is ideal for protecting digital files on PCs and notebooks. Once it is installed, Memeo will turn available storage such as an internal or external hard disk, online server, or another storage device on your local network into a hands-free backup system. Its Zero-Touch data preservation technology allows the software to run in the background so users can automatically preserve and keep track of data files. Its simple SmartPick(TM) checklist is designed to take the guesswork out of locating and placing important files and allows users to utilize any available storage location. This is done transparently in the background so employees don't have to spend time sorting out file destinations and spending time backing up data. Memeo also keeps track of changes made to a file while disconnected from a designated back-up destination and automatically updates those changes upon re-connection. Memeo includes a powerful search feature so users can instantly find and restore any information -- from a version of a single file to an entire computer worth of data. Memeo allows users to control what data is protected and allows administrators to customize security level.
