NEW YORK, August 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Memopal http://www.memopal.com
continuous, automatic, and long-term online backup. Following the release of
a beta version for Mac, Memopal is taking another step forward with today's
announcement of the launch of a beta release for the Linux Desktop and
Server. Until August 20, 2008, Memopal is looking for 100 beta testers around
the world to form a Linux community that will help it develop the first
low-cost online backup system for Linux. Anybody interested in online storage
and willing to participate can register with Wiki Memopal Beta Tester
betatest.memopal.com ( http://apps.memopal.com/mbt) Beta testers will receive
a fully functional user license.
"We currently support Ubuntu and Debian and we are working on several
other distributions. We feel that Linux is a key platform," remarked Gianluca
Granero, Chief Technology Officer of Memopal. "Data protection," he
continued, "is essential for anybody who uses a computer, no matter what
operating system they use, including Linux. Memopal supports WebDav and Linux
users can access their files from the web or by doing a simple 'mount'."
Gianluca Granero is the co-creator of MGFS, " the Memopal Global File
System", a distributed architecture technology that can safely store
information at a cost that makes online storage extremely affordable. The
basic Memopal suite includes 150GB of storage for $49 a year.
Why choose Memopal?
- It costs less than an external hard drive.
- By purchasing a single license, Memopal can be used on more than one
computer (PC, Mac and Linux) until the storage allowance has been
fully used (personal license).
- Files can be accessed from the web or from a mobile phone.
- Files too large to send by e-mail transmission can be shared in a
click.
- Stored files are never automatically deleted.
- Cloud storage, scalability and redundancy thanks to geographic Raid 5
technology.
Memopal foresees a future in which users will work on their documents,
music and photographs at the speed of a local disk, while taking advantage of
an archive accessible from anywhere, at any time. Furthemore, Memopal will
last much longer than the user's computer.
