Jungle Disk Launches New Server Backup for Businesses

Workgroup and Desktop Editions Enhanced with File Sync, Faster Backup Engine
SUWANEE, Ga.--(Business Wire)--
Today Jungle Disk, LLC, a subsidiary of Rackspace Hosting (NYSE:RAX), announced
the release of Jungle Disk Server Edition, the newest addition to the Jungle
Disk product line that gives small to midsize businesses an automated and
affordable way to back up servers in the cloud. Jungle Disk continues to provide
security and flexibility to its customers by utilizing AES-256 encryption with
an additional user-controlled key and by providing a choice in cloud storage
providers. Additionally, Jungle Disk offers customers an unlimited amount of
storage with a unique pay-as-you-go pricing of only $0.15 per gigabyte.

Jungle Disk Server Edition builds on the core storage technology of the Jungle
Disk product line, and offers an entirely new backup engine designed from the
ground up for handling large, complex backup jobs. And the immediate,
Internet-based accessibility of backed-up files on Server Edition allows users
to transfer data back to servers, helping to maintain business productivity even
in the event of a server crash or hard drive failure.

With this launch, Jungle Disk now offers a full portfolio of business products
that address the backup and storage needs of both small and midsize businesses.

"We have always tried to work collaboratively with our customers to enhance and
continually improve our products with the features to boost productivity and
give peace of mind that files and data are secure, protected and readily
accessible," said Dave Wright, founder, Jungle Disk, LLC. "Today we are
expanding our portfolio with two new products, and adding a number of
enhancements to our existing Desktop and Workgroup products that both underscore
our commitment to innovation and build on services that our customers trust for
their data."

Systems administrator at Stauffer Glove and Safety Ed Crotty has been testing
the beta of Jungle Disk Server Edition for backing up Stauffer`s systems
remotely. As the product becomes generally available, he plans to expand the use
of Server Edition to back up additional servers and keep off-site data
encrypted.

"As a fourth-generation-owned business that has been in existence for more than
100 years, minding the matters of the company is something that is taken very
seriously," said Crotty. "We looked at multiple solutions, and the ones with the
best balance of price and performance are always at the top of the list in any
technical decision. Therefore, Jungle Disk Server Edition made a lot of sense to
us. We trust Jungle Disk for protecting and keeping our business data secure."
