FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HandEra and Brayder Announce New Handheld Data Safety Software
Des Moines, IA. January 3, 2005. HandEra and Brayder
Technologies today are announcing the BackupProSD software product. BackupProSD
offers complete data safety for enterprise applications running on selected
palmOne handheld devices.
palmOne recently announced two new devices, the Tungsten T5 and Treo 650, that
provide non-volatile storage for user data and programs, Up until the
announcement of these two devices, handheld devices were subject to losing all
data and programs stored in volatile RAM memory if the device batteries
expired. For enterprise applications, such an event is unacceptable, even if it
is low probability. palmOne accomplished this new architecture by storing
programs and data in non-volatile flash memory right on the device, and only
using volatile RAM for buffer space.
The new BackupProSD software product provides this same level of data and
program safety by using non-volatile SD or MMC memory card storage for housing
user programs and data, and using volatile RAM only as a buffer.
“BackupProSD provides the data safety required by all enterprise applications
worldwide”, said Kit McDowall, HandEra Software Solutions Director. “Enterprise
IT managers have had to develop expensive backup and recovery processes for
handheld applications, just to minimize the number of potential transactions
that are lost on handheld battery outages. With BackupProSD, the expensive
backup / recovery processes will not be needed since every transaction will be
safe on SD/MMC storage. BackupProSD is not a ‘backup’ type of technology, it
stores each transaction on the non-volatile storage card”.
BackupPro supports the following palmOne devices: Tungsten E, T3, T2, T, C, Zire
31/71, and Treo 600.
