FCBrasil Ltda. to offer FarStone’s popular disk imaging software

IRVINE, CA — August 18, 2007 — FCBrasil Ltda., a Brazilian developer of security and networking solutions, is the latest company to distribute FarStone’s system backup and restore software. FCBrasil has signed an agreement to sell FarStone DriveClone and VirtualDrive in Latin America to resellers, system builders, ISPs, and businesses.

“As demand for PC systems increases in our region, we recognize the need for better ways to protect these systems,” says Reinaldo Ferreira, managing director of FCBrasil. “I look forward to working with FarStone to deliver powerful, yet easy to use system backup and recovery software. It does not matter whether it’s a home PC, a business PC, a server, or even a network of computers — they all require backup and recovery. FarStone’s technology is tested and proven, and is an effective solution for our customers.”

Latin America is currently one of the fastest growing IT markets in the world. The number of PCs shipped increased by 25 percent compared to a year ago, with the home PC segment growing by around 30 percent and the business PC segment by around 20 percent.

As demand for PC systems grows, so will the amount of digital content that is created. With more data and more critical content comes the need for increased system protection, because you never know when system disasters will strike.
