    NEW YORK, August 8 /EMWNews/ -- Memopal http://www.memopal.com

continuous, automatic, and long-term online backup. Following the release

of a beta version for Mac, Memopal is taking another step forward with

today's announcement of the launch of a beta release for the Linux Desktop

and Server. Until August 20, 2008, Memopal is looking for 100 beta testers

around the world to form a Linux community that will help it develop the

first low-cost online backup system for Linux. Anybody interested in online

storage and willing to participate can register with Wiki Memopal Beta

Tester betatest.memopal.com ( http://apps.memopal.com/mbt) Beta testers

will receive a fully functional user license.



    "We currently support Ubuntu and Debian and we are working on several

other distributions. We feel that Linux is a key platform," remarked

Gianluca Granero, Chief Technology Officer of Memopal. "Data protection,"

he continued, "is essential for anybody who uses a computer, no matter what

operating system they use, including Linux. Memopal supports WebDav and

Linux users can access their files from the web or by doing a simple

'mount'."



    Gianluca Granero is the co-creator of MGFS, " the Memopal Global File

System", a distributed architecture technology that can safely store

information at a cost that makes online storage extremely affordable. The

basic Memopal suite includes 150GB of storage for $49 a year.




    Why choose Memopal?



    - It costs less than an external hard drive.

    - By purchasing a single license, Memopal can be used on more than one

      computer (PC, Mac and Linux) until the storage allowance has been

      fully used (personal license).

    - Files can be accessed from the web or from a mobile phone.

    - Files too large to send by e-mail transmission can be shared in a

      click.

    - Stored files are never automatically deleted.

    - Cloud storage, scalability and redundancy thanks to geographic Raid 5

      technology.



    Memopal foresees a future in which users will work on their documents,

music and photographs at the speed of a local disk, while taking advantage

of an archive accessible from anywhere, at any time. Furthemore, Memopal

will last much longer than the user's computer.
