PowerQuest has an OEM agreement with notebook giant WinBook Corporation to license its system recovery software, EasyRestore, in an effort to reduce user downtime and system administration costs.
WinBook`s products ship with two partitions: the diagnostic partition and the partition containing the operating system and applications. WinBook will license EasyRestore to give its customers the option to selectively restore the single partition containing the original operating system and applications after a system crash, while preserving the diagnostic partition.
EasyRestore is beneficial for mobile users, says Dave Terespolsky, MD of local PowerQuest distributor Server Tools. "Nothing can be more frustrating than to have a notebook computer crash while on the road," notes Terespolsky. "The time required to get a notebook back up and running can mean lost opportunities and lost revenue for any organisation. EasyRestore makes it possible for anyone, regardless of technical ability, to restore their computer to its original system setup in minutes, without the aid of a technician."
"EasyRestore is another way WinBook provides superior value and convenience to our customers," says Rick Mershad, president of WinBook.
PowerQuest is a leading developer of storage device management software for network servers, as well as desktop computers.
WinBook ranked seventh in US notebook computer shipments for all of last year, according to IDC. For 1998, WinBook is enjoying record sales, already surpassing shipments for any previous year by the end of June. WinBook has been honoured with over 150 awards from the computer press and is a pioneer in the fast-growing ultra-value notebook segment.
