FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Drive Vaccine for Mac and Windows Offers Cross-Platform Security for Schools and Public Access Computer Providers VANCOUVER, B.C. -- August 17, 2004 -- /Xpress Press/ -- Horizon DataSys Inc. announces Drive Vaccine (http://www.drivevaccine.com), a cross-platform security solution that tackles the real world IT challenges faced by organizations offering public computer access including schools, libraries, government agencies, Internet cafes and others. Drive Vaccine is designed for institutions requiring optimal availability and functionality of their public access computers. Regardless of what a user does, including erasing files, installing software, downloading viruses, or tampering with desktop settings, workstations running Drive Vaccine will rollback to their original configuration upon restart. They will be perfectly configured and available for the next user, without the need for IT troubleshooting. "What sets Drive Vaccine apart from its competitors is its cross-platform capability. It is the only product in its class that works on both Mac and Windows operating systems," said Lyle Patel, Director of Sales and Marketing. "Furthermore, we provide a networking console that delivers remote management capabilities for both PC and Macintosh installations at no additional cost. Some IT Directors claim that Drive Vaccine is saving them over 35% on their IT costs." According to Patel, some 92% of school districts, colleges and universities have some combination of PC and Mac workstations. Hybrid OS environments also exist in many non-educational organizations. "Instead of segregating Windows and Macintosh users with different profiles and security solutions, we've consolidated our robust desktop security to protect, manage and remotely control workstations," added Patel. "With our solution, computer labs can now operate Windows and Macs on the same local network." Because it deals with low-level support issues, Drive Vaccine allows technicians to focus on serious networking and technical issues. Drive Vaccine helps maintain a consistently clean system, thus increasing the life expectancy of a workstation by optimizing its performance. Drive Vaccine consolidates a number of features resulting in a comprehensive security solution. For example, Instead of using multiple hard drive cleaning and systems maintenance applications to remove spyware, malware and cookies, Drive Vaccine users have access to an application that offers total system protection. Drive Vaccine is easy to install and operate making it the ideal option for IT professionals and novice end-users. Drive Vaccine costs $39 for a single end-user license (Volume discounts are available). http://www.horizondatasys.com __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to NetProLive, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to NetProLive, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the SUBJECT line reading "SUBSCRIBE NetProLive".
