PowerQuest has signed an OEM agreement with NEC Computer Systems Division, enabling NEC, a leading manufacturer of computer products and solutions for the commercial and consumer markets, to bundle PowerQuest`s EasyRestore and PartitionMagic 3.0 Special Edition with NEC laptops.
EasyRestore allows users to recover their system back to the original manufacturer`s state in minutes after a system crash. PartitionMagic 3.0 Special Edition offers users the ability to create, resize and move hard-disk partitions on the fly, without destroying data.
In addition, users can convert FAT32 partitions to FAT16 and vice versa, allowing users to run specific applications geared to run on FAT16 or FAT32 partitions.
PowerQuest products are represented in South Africa by Server Tools.
"The inclusion of EasyRestore with NEC products will provide end-users with a one-step process for disaster recovery, significantly reducing technical support costs for NEC," says Mark Lindsay, director of OEM sales for PowerQuest.
"We`re excited to offer our customers these two products from PowerQuest on our award winning NEC Versa LX and NEC Versa SX notebooks," says Jon Kies, senior product manager for NEC. "PartitionMagic 3.0 Special Edition provides MIS managers and end users with maximum flexibility when configuring the system, decreasing overall setup time.
And EasyRestore lowers total cost of ownership, eliminating the need for a technician to spend hours reinstalling the original OS and applications onto a notebook after a hard-drive crash."
NEC-branded products include Versar notebook computers, Direction PC, PowerMater desktop computers, Express5800™ servers and MobilePro handheld PCs.
NEC Computer Systems Division uses a distribution model that enables customers to buy built-to-order (BTO) and configured-to-order (CTO) notebooks, servers and desktop products, direct or via a network of qualified resellers.
This customer-focused distribution model allows corporate end-users to choose the logistics and pricing advantages of direct sales, integrated with the service and support of their preferred resellers.
