DiskAgent Channel Partners to Benefit from Growing Market for Remote Wipe, Device Recovery and Online Backup

SALT LAKE CITY - Oct. 29, 2008 -(BUSINESS WIRE)–Spearstone today announced the DiskAgent data protection SaaS is immediately available to VARs through the DiskAgent Authorized Reseller program. DiskAgent solutions will be offered to channel partners under the DiskAgent brand or as a private labeled reseller service. Authorized resellers will be able to take advantage of the increasing opportunities in remote device wipe, mobile device recovery and online backup.

Spearstone is recognized as a key player in redefining data protection beyond online backup. The DiskAgent solutions also include remote wipe and theft recovery features. As business-critical and confidential data becomes increasingly mobile through notebooks and smartphones, Spearstone’s products and development roadmap will enable businesses to secure sensitive information. Spearstone products are optimized for sales through channel partners to SMBs, particularly in healthcare, legal and financial services.

Current DiskAgent solutions and additional ‘soon-to-be-announced’ data protection products will give reseller partners access to an emerging market within the business community. Most SMBs are increasingly at risk for data protection breaches and have no formal protection plan in place. The DiskAgent SaaS provides an affordable, feature rich solution to significantly reduce SMB risks.

“Data protection and remote security, especially for mobile devices, is a rapidly growing concern for our customers,” said Thomas A. Capone, CEO of MyBackupData.com. “Partnering with Spearstone to provide our clients with unique and affordable solutions will be vital in helping us grow our managed service business, while offering a dramatically enhanced level of protection for customers and prospects.”

1. Marketing: Collateral materials, demand generation programs and co-op marketing funds

2. Pre-Sales Support: Customer presentations, demonstrations, and access to trial services.
