DataPeer LAUNCHES VIRTU FOR HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

DataPeer Inc, an emerging leader in data storage and management solutions, has announced the launch of VirtU, a flexible, mobile solution offering Web-based remote backup, storage and synchronization of data. A unique service specifically targeted toward the higher education market, VirtU offers a win-win solution to students, faculty, administrative staff and alumni by granting instantaneous, secure access to valuable content including course materials, research documents and images. In turn, space on individual desktop hard drives and institution servers remain available for other data storage and processing purposes. With its quick and cost-effective implementation, VirtU grants higher educational institutions the ability to generate an ongoing revenue stream with minimal investment to their money, time and/or resources.

As a mobile solution, VirtU extends the breadth of the campus, providing anytime, anywhere access to data, thereby allowing the institution's constituency to be more productive. The solution gives users the ability to transfer, store, retrieve and/or synchronize data between multiple devices -- from desktops and laptops to handhelds and PDAs -- regardless of location (i.e. dorm, office, library or at home). All of these benefits add up to increased productivity -- for students, faculty and the administrative staff.

VirtU's wide range of secure, remote solutions for access on and off campus include:

• Creating and backing up files
• Restoring created, downloaded and uploaded files in the same location or in different directories
• Synchronizing documents, images, emails, calendars, contacts, tasks and notes between multiple platforms, including Windows, Windows CE, Microsoft PocketPC, Linux, Mac OS and Palm handheld
• Viewing, creating and editing files through a Web interface
• Securely storing and transferring data through multiple layers of authentication and data encryption

"Today's vastly competitive higher educational marketplace looks to technology innovation as a means to set institutions apart," said Michael Kofman, CEO, DataPeer. "With mobile and wireless capabilities, VirtU widens the capabilities of the institution and drives campus-wide productivity and performance through its remote 24/7/365 access to data."

As an extension of DataPeer's SmartChannel private label program, educational institutions will receive the VirtU service branded according to their school's standards and regulations. VirtU is a completely browser-based service that utilizes DataPeer's secure data centers for housing all additional storage space. Since VirtU is a fully hosted service, there is relatively no additional information technology investment on the part of the institution. The solution also requires no server or additional hardware installations, and can be installed in minutes. Through DataPeer's commitment to value-added services and support, VirtU is a highly functional, user-friendly, revenue-producing service.
