Availl: Data Exists Simultaneously in N Locations

Eliminates 95% of Traffic, Real-time Multi-directional Mirroring

ANDOVER, Mass., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Availl, a leading vendor of distributed data mirroring and storage software announced Availl 2.6 today.

2. 6 is a breakthrough for ongoing real-time, multi-site storage mirroring and distribution. With Availl's transparent technology the latest version of every file (such as CAD, legal, etc) is always up to date at any number of remote sites. The files are always fully useable at each site, and changes at any site mirror multi-directionally to all other sites. Because Availl only transfers byte-level differences of changed files, 95% of bandwidth is eliminated. And Availl is not affected by high latency networks.

Availl 2.6 began shipping in April 2003. The company already has over 50 customers in North America and internationally. "We did not want to jump the gun with this announcement," said Craig Randall VP of Marketing "we are careful with product rollouts to establish a successful string of deployments before announcing". Customers include Wells Fargo, US Department of Labor, Stearns Wheler, Hatch Mott Macdonald, NTT and ULine.

Availl solves the problem of storage access by removing the need for users to "VPN" or browse to one central site. As storage costs drop, Availl's distributed approach gives the full benefit of local access speed, with full central control and bandwidth elimination. Updates among and between locations happen instantly. Full coherency is maintained across sites; Availl eliminates the possibility of conflicts or using stale versions. Files of any type and size exist simultaneously on hundreds of systems: local access is at hard drive speed. Disaster recovery, remote offices, or distributed application files across any distance are securely replicated.

Availl's byte-level differencing technology eliminates 95% of network traffic while delivering instantaneous end-to-end mirroring. Working at the file-system level, all operations are done in the background; no ongoing work at any location is disrupted. Availl uses only the Windows(R) Folder UI; applications need no changes whatsoever.

"Availl's solution was simple to deploy, and met our needs," said Mike Mitchell IT Network Manager at Einhorn, Yaffee, Prescott. "We had a persistent problem of complex CAD designs being worked on across many office locations. Availl makes all necessary data exist in many locations at once, across long distances. All our users now have the latest AutoCAD, Pro-e and other design files 24x7 on their local file server; no more downloading or working on outdated versions. And the bandwidth has all but disappeared, too. It makes cross-site work possible, eliminated costs and errors, and it improved our responsiveness."

Availl's software-only solution installs and is running across any number of systems in minutes and combines continuous synchronization and distribution, with integral disaster recovery. Other features include:

- - Replication over any IP network.

- - Instant performance and propagation. Supports streaming; even new files open immediately.

- - Version history (including deleted files) kept centrally; available via one click restore.

- - No limit on file size, file type, number of files, or frequency of file changes.

- - Transparent server access by any LAN-attached workstation, including UNIX.

- - Small software footprint, very low resource use, set and forget

- - Fully settable access permissions.
