FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ratooi Launches its unmatched Internet
Attached Storage Services
Company offers a virtual hard drive and data-mirroring technology with
Rdrive
Houston, Texas (April 15, 2006) – Ratooi (www.ratooi.com), a provider of online and Internet Attached Storage (IAS) services, today announced it has launched its online storage and backup services. The offerings deliver a virtual hard drive technology which mirrors data transparently and automatically from a local PC to a remote data store online. This offering makes Ratooi a unique provider of online storage and backup services. The company is offering its full suite of services for as little as $3.95 per month.
Ratooi employs a virtual hard drive technology “Rdrive”. This enables members to work on their locally mapped Rdrive. Rdrive automatically provides transparent mirroring of data to the remote store. Rdrive's easy-to-use interface operates at the same speed and the same way as a local “C” drive, allowing members to drag and drop any type of file into their Ratooi account. Rdrive supports all file types including Word processing documents, spreadsheets, digital photos and videos, folders, MP3s, etc.
Ratooi also offers its members a number of features that solve common computer-user frustrations. The following features are included at no additional charge:
Content stored on Ratooi is housed in a disaster-proof, state-of-the-art data center and is protected by biometric security and full-time security professionals. “Our facility makes Ratooi an ideal solution for permanent storage of indispensable data,” states Kevin Lyons, Chief Technology Officer of Ratooi.
“Ratooi has pioneered a convenient and fast interface with the Ratooi Rdrive and My Ratooi Documents programs,” continues Mr. Lyons. “With this technology, Ratooi makes everywhere computing accessible to everyone. "
Despite the rumored future Gdrive from Google which claims to use mirroring technology, Ratooi has already positioned itself to be the leader of such technology. Ratooi's Rdrive not only provides the speed and the transparency of a C: drive, but also includes the reliability and the security of 1024 bit key AES encryption technology.
Mr. Lyons continues to state, “In addition to carefully protecting digital assets and making it easy to share files and folders securely, our members will enjoy the freedom of accessing their data in an advertising-free environment. Ratooi's users will also appreciate having 24/7 customer service."
"Google is a great search engine but I certainly don't want my data being snooped through by advertising hacks. Ratooi is not advertising driven and in fact, part of Ratooi's Terms of Use Agreement is that we do not look at customer files, nor do we want to, for liability reasons.” says Mr. Lyons.
Ratooi's basic plan provides 2 gigabytes for $3.95 per month. For members with advanced storage needs, Ratooi offers 10 gigabytes for $7.95 per month. Ratooi also provides Virtual Private Network (VPN) services via the RatooiGroup plans available depending on the size of business. Ratooi offers all new subscribers a 15 day free trial period.
