The data files are encrypted and are not accessible to anyone other than the content owner.
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) August 18, 2004 -- 312, Inc., a software development and
Web services company, today announced the release of LeanOnMe, a platform
independent backup and remote access solution. LeanOnMe harnesses the power of
peer-to-peer (P2P) technology to provide secure off-site backup and enables the
user to access his or her own information anywhere LeanOnMe is installed. The
data files are encrypted and are not accessible to anyone other than the content
owner.
"Much like the World Wide Web or a corporate network, P2P
technology is simply one type of technology solution that allows users to
accomplish a variety of tasks," stated Brian Neilson, CEO of 312 Inc.
"Unfortunately, like the Web, P2P technology has been used for illegal
activities. However, P2P technology can also be used for legal and beneficial
purposes." Neilson continued. "312’s LeanOnMe does not allow sharing of illegal
or copyrighted material; it’s for the protection of data. The user’s data is
encrypted and cannot be accessed by the remote host. LeanOnMe demonstrates that
the generic association of P2P technology and illegal activities is no longer
valid."
LeanOnMe is easy to use and backs up data files to one or more
on-line computers. Users can select files or folders to protect and then choose
someone to “lean on” for remote storage. This removes the need for tapes, CD's
and monthly Web storage fees. Any new or updated files are automatically
protected based on a user-defined backup schedule. Set it up once, like your
anti-virus software, and LeanOnMe will run in the background protecting your
selected files. LeanOnMe offers effortless protection with a lot more integrated
functionality.
Juan Carlos Soto, Sun Microsystems Director of the
Software, CTO Office said: "We are thrilled to see 312's LeanOnMe product
applying JXTA peer-to-peer technology to automate computer file back-up. People
can now securely share computer resources in a trusted, cooperative, and highly
available peer-to-peer network to back-up data. Using Java and JXTA
technologies, 312 has created a platform independent, secure network backup
product that works over the Internet."
Create your own Web of
Protection
"Set it up once but don’t forget it. LeanOnMe allows you to create
your own group so you can invite your friends, family or colleagues to join. You
can use it at home and work and never email, transfer or forget an important
file again, just access it remotely," said Andrew Kiolbasa, 312, Inc. Chief
Operating Officer and head of product development. "Sometimes a file is lost
simply because you can’t remember where you saved it. With LeanOnMe you can sort
all of your protected files so you can find them quickly and easily" Kiolbasa
added.
Pricing and Availability
LeanOnMe is $50.00 with an
introductory offer of a convenient 2-user license (buy 1, give 1 for free).
LeanOnMe is available for immediate download at www.312inc.com. Annual maintenance agreements and corporate /
government volume discounts are available.
