Yosemite Enriches Affordable Data Protection Offerings with Acquisiton of Filekeeper


Strategic Move Reinforces Yosemite's Leadership Position in the Growing Small and Medium Business Market for Data Protection Solutions

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 13 -- Yosemite Technologies, Inc., a global provider of data protection solutions that span from the desktop to the data center, today announced that it has acquired FileKeeper, which delivers protection for Windows notebooks and desktops using continuous data protection (CDP) solutions. Terms of the acquisition of the Knoxville-based company were not disclosed. FileKeeper is being integrated immediately into Yosemite.

"Cost-effective yet comprehensive data protection solutions are a chief concern of our customers today," said George Symons, CEO of Yosemite Technologies. By combining FileKeeper's file level versioning (CDP) system to protect user files on notebook and desktop computers with our traditional backup solutions for servers, Yosemite is providing Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) a wide range of best in class choices to keep their data safe and available. "

FileKeeper's user-centric data protection software will augment the Yosemite Backup(TM) suite of products. FileKeeper also brings its CDP technology to Yosemite to be integrated into future releases of Yosemite Backup software.

"This is a nice addition to the Yosemite lineup as both a stand-alone product and a strong complement to Yosemite's flagship product," said Steve Duplessie, founder and senior analyst of the Enterprise Strategy Group. "This new offering will enable smaller companies to have the enhanced data protection capabilities that are required in today's market by both small and large enterprises. Since these products were built from the ground up for the small-to-medium business market, customers will also benefit from enterprise class features and functions while improving operational efficiencies and ease-of-use. This is critical for those battling with compliance mandates such as SOX or HIPPA."

The acquisition of FileKeeper further enhances Yosemite's strategy of offering simple yet effective and affordable data protection solutions ideal for SMBs. Products such as Yosemite Backup enable organizations with limited or no dedicated IT staff to ensure their data is safe in the event of data loss or corruption. Yosemite's scalability and enterprise-class features enable SMBs to grow their environments predictably and seamlessly, without the need to change backup architectures.

Yosemite FileKeeper is shipping now and is available for purchase from Yosemite's worldwide network of resellers or for purchase and download from the Yosemite web site. For more information and to download a free trial version, please visit the Yosemite web site: http://www.yosemitetech.com/
