Business Wire, Jan 12, 2005

SAN FRANCISCO -- Atempo, Inc., a leader in information lifecycle strategies for data protection, today announced a series of major enterprise-class customer wins using the Mac OS X computing platform. These customers include one of the nation's largest truckload transportation companies, one of the nation's largest hair products companies and Quebecor Numeric, a subsidiary of Quebecor World Inc., one of the largest commercial print media services companies in the world.

The Mac OS X operating environment, already pervasive in the media industry, is making significant progress as a computing platform of choice in industries seeking ease-of-use and high-performance. Similarly, Mac OS X users are now choosing Atempo's Time Navigator Enterprise Edition because it provides an easy-to-use, high-performance, highly-scalable data protection solution for Mac OS X servers and clients.

Atempo is taking the needs of the Mac OS X users seriously and making a concerted effort to address their data protection needs," said Rick Wojcik, president and chief executive officer of Atempo. "Today, Atempo's Time Navigator Mac OS X is the only high-performance, highly-scalable enterprise-class data protection solution for Mac OS X servers and clients - Mac OS X server, Xserve G5 and Xserve RAID."

Now available for every major operating system, Time Navigator reduces backup and restore pain through its ease of use and its centralized management of data protection across heterogeneous hardware platforms, storage devices and applications.
