LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., Aug. 1, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Tanagra, Inc., a worldwide provider of backup software for the digital consumer, today announced it is offering a 25% discount off of its powerful backup software, Memeo, through the month of August. The discount is only available for customers who purchase storage hardware devices by Buffalo Technology, all of which include a 30-day free trial of Memeo.
"Summer is the hottest time of year to take photos. With kids out of school, vacations on the rise, back yard barbecues, sporting events, etc., it is so important for users to preserve all of those precious moments," stated Hong Bui, CEO and Co-founder of Tanagra. "A surprising number of users do not implement an effective backup strategy. We are hoping this promotion will encourage end-users to make use of a very valuable tool to protect their digital summer memories."
"Buffalo was number one in the Network Attached Storage (NAS) retail industry in dollar sales for the month of May, according to NPD Techworld. This tells us that not only are our products in high demand, but also that the need for effective data protection in the consumer market is on the rise," stated Morikazu Sano, vice president of product marketing and public relations at Buffalo Technology. "Because summer is one of the best times for families and friends to get together, it is important to not only store digital memories such as photos and videos, but also to make sure that additional protection is in place, such as Memeo backup software by Tanagra."
Memeo Zero-Touch data preservation technology allows users to 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. For example, users have the option to back up all of their pictures to their computer. When new pictures are downloaded to that computer, they will be backed up automatically. Memeo also keeps track of changes made to a file while disconnected from a designated backup 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's worth of data.
Buffalo's award-winning line of NAS devices includes the TeraStation (HD-H1.OTGL/R5), a 1 TeraByte NAS solution. The TeraStation is also available in capacities of 0.6 Terabyte (HD-H0.6TGL/R5) and 1.6 Terabyte (HD-H1.6TGL/R5).
