WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif--July 31, 2006 --CaminoSoft Corp. (OTC.BB:CMSF - News)
, a leading provider of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions for Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 and Novell NetWare & GroupWise environments, today announced the appointment of Business Union Distribution Ltd. – an established distributor of email archiving and file archiving solutions across multiple environments including Novell NetWare, Microsoft Windows and Lotus Notes – as a distributor of the company’s products in the UK, Benelux and Nordic regions.
“This distribution agreement represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen CaminoSoft’s presence within the United Kingdom and Northern European markets. By leveraging Business Union’s customer relationships – particularly its distribution success with CA (NYSE:CA) and its Message Manager software product – CaminoSoft is solidly positioned to gain market share and present its offerings to an expanding roster of customers seeking ILM solutions,” said Steve Crosson, CaminoSoft’s chief financial officer and chief operating officer.
“CaminoSoft’s Managed Server HSM™ software will provide Business Union’s customers with value-added, automated file migration software tools that address the rapid growth and management of data. The company’s policy-based, hardware-agnostic software is designed to manage data across multiple storage tiers, complementing Business Union’s data archiving product lineup. We look forward to a mutually successful relationship and the opportunity to significantly expand the market,” said Richard Bayley, CaminoSoft’s director of EMEA sales and marketing.
“Market demand for efficient, cost-effective archiving storage platforms continues to grow at a significant rate, fueled by the ongoing expansion of file/print and email messaging, operating system and application space requirements, and corporate governance and regulatory compliance requirements,” said Richard Krueger, vice president of marketing and alliances for CaminoSoft. “Joining the Archivas Solutions Program complements CaminoSoft’s strategy of partnering with industry leaders to help organizations manage data retention, take control of compliance issues, and ensure real-time access to archived files. Combined with the Archivas ArC platform, CaminoSoft’s HSM suite enables organizations to implement policies that optimize the usage of storage resources and automate the retention of business-critical content on a trustworthy, scalable archive.”
The company highlighted its certifications with industry-leading archiving platforms, including EMC Centera, IBM Tivoli/DR550, Hitachi Content Archive Platform, and Archivas Cluster. CaminoSoft recently announced that it was selected to join the Hitachi Data Systems independent software vendor program and the Archivas solutions partner program.
“With CaminoSoft’s Managed Server HSM and CA’s Message Manager, we are able to combine and offer two of the industry’s leading software solutions for both file and email archiving. This is a powerful combination that addresses the total lifecycle management requirements of our customers. The strength of CaminoSoft’s brand in the market and the level of support they offer were major factors in our decision to discontinue distribution of Moonwalk Universal PTY Ltd.’s file archiving software,” said Mark Saville, founder of Business Union.
