PRO Engineering Announces:
EZRAID "Lite" for OS/2
Disk Management Software for OS/2 Desktop Systems
OTTAWA, July 1. 1994, PRO Engineering the recent startup
founded by former Corel lead developer, Daniel Levesque,
announced today EZRAID Lite for OS/2, a software-based disk
management solution for the OS/2 desktop market. For users
of OS/2 2.x and OS/2 for Windows, EZRAID Lite has a
suggested retail price of only $195 and will be generally
available on August 1st, 1994.
EZRAID Lite brings the benefits of RAID technology to the
desktop level at a breakthrough price point. Offering disk
mirroring, data striping and disk spanning, EZRAID Lite
creates disk arrays with unparalleled ease and flexibility.
The software supports all disk interfaces including IDE,
ESDI and SCSI.
"Now any OS/2 user can combine two standard hard disks
and take advantage of the fault-tolerance, complete data-
reliability and the increased storage capacity offered with
RAID technology," said PRO Engineering president Daniel
Levesque. He adds, "With OS/2 for Windows now available
world-wide, any DOS or Windows application will benefit from
the advanced disk management features found in EZRAID Lite."
For simplified data management EZRAID Lite is able to strip
or span data across any two hard disks creating a single
large logical drive. And with the software's ability to
mirror existing logical drives without the need to reformat,
EZRAID Lite provides real-time backups of all user files.
Implemented as a logical disk device driver, EZRAID
Lite controls RAIDs at the partition level. This unique
approach allows RAID logical drives to co-exist with
existing partitions on hard disks. In addition any
combination of mirroring, striping and spanning can be used
on the same set of physical disk drives.
As the world's first desktop RAID product, EZRAID Lite is a
personal version of EZRAID for OS/2, a product that supports
RAID levels 0, 1, 4 and 5 and retails for $795. The product
is PRO Engineering's latest addition to their growing family
of software based RAID solutions.
