Atempo Introduces Exclusive New Dedicated Mac Functionalities to Atempo Digital Archive, Optimized Support for Creative Markets

ADA 2.3 Offers New Server Support for Mac OS X, Compatibility with Apple Xsan
and Other Shared File Systems, and Deeper Integration into Creative Project
Workflows
LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--
Atempo, Inc., a leading provider of cross-platform data protection and archiving
solutions, today introduced Atempo Digital Archive (ADA) 2.3, the first
enterprise-class file archiving software to offer full support for Mac-centric
operating environments. The software now provides full Mac OS X compatibility
across all product components, a new Mac-specific administration interface and
essential new support for Apple Xsan and other shared file systems. ADA`s new
features, together with the software`s integration with Apple`s Final Cut
Server, give midsize and large Mac environments a powerful file archiving
platform that is particularly optimized for customers in storage-intensive media
and entertainment industries.

Atempo Digital Archive enables the automated and end-user triggered movement of
data from primary disk onto archival media. It seamlessly integrates into the
most complex digital workflows to help organizations improve the overall
management of their digital assets while significantly reducing storage costs.
Previously available on Windows, Linux and Solaris platforms, the ADA server`s
new support for Mac OS X gives dedicated Mac environments the ability to
administer and operate the software without having to introduce and maintain
another operating system. ADA`s administration console is also now native to Mac
OS X and has been enhanced to improve the software`s ease-of-use.

"Atempo Digital Archive 2.3 gives Mac-centric organizations immediate benefits
by helping them better manage their digital assets workflow, but at the same
time, the software`s full capabilities help these organizations rethink their
retention practices and help turn the archival of digital assets into a
strategic business component," said Mark Sutter, CTO of Atempo. "ADA is
optimized for organizations that recognize archiving as not only a
cost-effective approach to long-term data preservation, but also as a critical
step in the digital media workflow. The automated archival that runs in parallel
to the content creation process is essential in preserving those high-value
digital assets from the outset."

Atempo furthers its commitment to meeting the data management needs of media and
entertainment customers with ADA`s new support for Apple Xsan and Quantum
StorNext. These shared file systems are commonly deployed in the creative
industries alongside Final Cut Server, Apple`s widely-used digital asset
management and workflow automation software. ADA fully integrates with Final Cut
Server, giving customers the ability to use Atempo`s file archiving solution as
a key part of the digital media workflow. With ADA, end-users working on
storage-intensive projects can easily move data into archival media as needed
using the Final Cut Server Client, ensuring that high-value creative content is
preserved at any stage of its digital lifespan, and is available for easy
recovery and re-use.

ADA 2.3 also includes new support for EMC Celerra NAS used as primary storage.
The integration enables ADA to leave stubs on the EMC Celerra when the files
have been moved to archive media. Windows Server 2008 and Windows Cluster System
are also now supported with ADA. The software`s core features include end-user
initiated archive through a dedicated light user interface, file level
de-duplication, full content indexing and search, file stubbing capabilities
that allow for the easy retrieval of archived information, and many other
features that make it a leading file archiving and digital workflow management
application.

Atempo Digital Archive will be demonstrated at the NAB 2009 show in Las Vegas,
Nevada, from April 20-24 at Atempo`s booth SL5729. The software will be
generally available on April 27, 2009. For more information, visit
