Houston, Texas - (The Hosting News) - July 31, 2006 - Dedicated hosting provider, The Planet, has been chosen by Tilana Systems Corporation, as data center provider for the upcoming private beta release of its new Tilana Reserve file protection and synchronization service.

Tilana last week announced scheduling for the Tilana Reserve beta, which starts this week. Upon launch of the beta program, test users are invited to apply at the Tilana web site.

Joe Austin, CEO of Tilana Systems Corp. explained, ''We spent considerable time in our selection process, and feel confident in the decision to partner with The Planet. A high-quality offering like Tilana Reserve demands the best available data center resources. The Planet rises to the top as our best fit.''

Kristin Herring, Marketing Director for The Planet added, ''We're excited to be involved with a company like Tilana Systems Corp. And we believe that timing is perfect for the launch of an SMB and consumer focused data protection service like Tilana Reserve.''

Tilana Reserve is among the newest and most progressive answers to the problem of data protection and management. As a fully managed turnkey CDP (continuous data protection) solution for SMB and home PC users, it stands virtually alone in a fragmented market mostly occupied by old-fashioned backup solutions that rely on the scheduled sequential method. Tilana's new service uses a desktop software client to securely transmit files between the user's protected PC and personal remote storage space. After the initial upload of protected files, the software sends only changes to files as they're saved, along with any new files as they appear in protected folders on the user's computer. Changes to protected files are stored in the user's personal remote storage for as long as needed, and made immediately available through a version history palette in the desktop software control panel.

The Tilana Reserve software is available for free download, installs in about a minute and requires little if any configuration. Users can choose to enable an unlimited number of computers with the free software, and synchronize files on those computers via personal remote storage space.

San Diego based Tilana Systems Corporation, attempts to solve the universal problem of data protection and synchronization. Tilana's first product and service, Tilana Reserve, uses delta versioning technology that detects changes to files and only transfers modified data unobtrusively without user interaction. Users can access any previously saved version of a protected file, from any PC on the Internet where the software can be installed.
