Seagate Software, the pioneer of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) and a leading provider of storage management solutions for the Microsoft Windows NT Server and Windows NT Workstation operating systems, today announced the availability of Seagate Client Exec in its online store. Seagate Client Exec, an automated client data protection solution that backs up valuable client workstation data transparently and automatically to a Windows NT 4.0 Server, offers customers "peace of mind" and increased productivity.

"Seagate Client Exec significantly reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) by minimizing the IT cost to manage and protect user data, providing users with uninterrupted access to their critical business data," said Nick Blozan, director of product management, Seagate Software, Network and Storage Management Group. "Leveraging e-commerce capabilities, our 24x7 online store speeds up the ordering process, thus saving our customer`s time.

To make buying easy, the site walks customers through every step of their online purchase. Customers first visit a "how to buy" Web page where they can choose to purchase products from the online store, an online reseller, a Seagate Dimensions reseller for volume licensing or a traditional reseller. If an online store purchase has been selected, customers then enter the Seagate Software Store where they follow three easy ordering steps - 1) select a product; 2) add to cart; 3) check out.

Seagate Client Exec is available from the online store for $695 USMSRP. The Seagate Software Store accepts VISA, MasterCard and American Express. For security, the Seagate Software Store uses 128 BIT RSA cryptography technology to help ensure that data is encrypted for high security as it is transferred over networks.
