ROY, Utah,
December 7, 2000 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE:
IOM), a global leader in data management solutions,
today announced that Iomega Quik Sync 2 software will
begin shipping to Asia Pacific markets this week.
This international retail version
of Iomega's Quik Sync 2 software, which provides automatic
on-the-fly backup to protect important data from virus
and system malfunctions, includes support for Chinese,
simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages.
It is expected to arrive at retail channels in late
December at an estimated retail price of $19.95 (USD).
"With Iomega's international
shipment of Quik Sync 2 software in the Asia Pacific
region, Iomega is establishing a worldwide presence
in software solutions," said Roxie Craycraft, executive
vice president, international business units, Iomega
Corporation. "Global availability helps us support
international clients that want to roll out Quik Sync
2 software in the enterprise segment, while also solving
the backup needs of a large new audience of consumers."
To help launch the new product, Iomega
will be bundling Quik Sync 2 software with a Zip(r)
drive at the Sitex 2000 show held in Singapore Dec.
7-10th. The 30-day trial version of the software is
also being distributed with IT magazines in the region,
as well as online through Iomega and reseller Web sites.
Iomega Quik Sync 2 software lets
users monitor multiple folders on their hard drive or
network drive. Every time users save a file to one of
these folders, Quik Sync 2 software automatically stores
a copy of that file on an Iomega Zip, Jaz(, PocketZip(
or Iomega CD-RW drive. In addition, the user can choose
to save revisions of files instead of overwriting files
that have been previously copied to their backup disk.
