ROBOBAK's Version 8 Data Protection Software Named One of '100 Coolest Cloud Computing Products' by Everything Channel's CRN

ATLANTA, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- ROBOBAK™, the clear leader in cloud-centric agentless data protection software designed for remote and branch offices, today announced that Everything Channel's CRN has named ROBOBAK Version 8.1 as one of the "100 Coolest Cloud Computing Products."  The Top 100 Cloud Computing products include 20 storage vendors, 20 security vendors, 20 productivity vendors, 20 infrastructure vendors and 20 platform vendors.

ROBOBAK Version 8.1 enables companies to protect their data in a fraction of the time required by earlier versions, giving them greater confidence that they will be able to backup increasing amounts of data in ever-shrinking windows, while restoring lost or corrupted data in less time and enabling them to resume full business operations.

"Recognition from an industry leader such as CRN is highly gratifying, as is the continued support of thousands of people worldwide who use ROBOBAK every day to protect the data that is at the very heart of their business, regardless of the location," said Ron Roberts, ROBOBAK's President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Cloud computing is increasingly seen as a viable strategy for companies of all sizes; working on a channel-exclusive basis, we continue to grow our markets and deliver solutions to firms that require powerful, cost-effective data protection"

The list was based on nominations from Solution Providers rating technology, channel influence, effectiveness and visibility along with business and sales impact. The final selections were made by a panel of Everything Channel Editors.

Winners were announced online at www.Channelweb.com and will be featured in the January 25 issue of CRN.
