Ideal for the data protection needs of “prosumers” and home offices, the online backup service safeguards against data loss and enables data recovery in case of disaster.

The online backup service offers D-Link 2-Bay ShareCenter users built-in offsite data protection that doesn’t require PC software installation and works automatically directly from the NAS appliance. Differential backups and data compression are used to ensure quick and efficient backup.

Users can now automatically and securely back up data to reliable cloud storage and recover and access their files using a Web browser from anywhere, at any time. They can also roll back their stored files to previous versions, up to 30 days old.

“We are excited to extend the value of D-Link’s highly acclaimed DNS-323 by offering CTERA’s cloud-based data protection services,” said Chris Gruber, Director, product line management, Storage. “With this cloud storage service fully-integrated with our hardware, we are continuing to offer D-Link customers the utmost in connectivity and disaster recovery with ease-of-use.”

Unlike existing PC-based online backup services, the solution does not limit data backup to a single PC. Rather, it lets users backup all their important files from any PC to their D-Link DNS-323 NAS unit and safeguard them locally and remotely on the “cloud,” with no limitations on file size, file type or the number of PCs on the network.

The DNS-323 ShareCenter Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution is part of the D-Link ShareCenter product line that provides greater performance, flexibility and protection against content loss than ordinary external hard drives.

“Until now there hasn’t been a comprehensive aviation portal equivalent to this,” says Ken Chase, president of AVAD Aviator. “We have in-depth aviation experience spanning more than 40 years, which gives us unique insight into the needs of today’s aviators. We also understand that having current and complete information about the many facets of aviation is critical to efficient and cost-effective aviation operations, whether we’re talking about a for-profit operation or aviators that just want to fly for fun and enjoyment.”

At present the AVAD Aviator database contains nearly 1.5 million records and is growing daily. At http://www.AVADAviator.com, anyone can find or present virtually anything related to aviation, including aircraft and parts, ground support equipment, aviation jobs, avionics, and a multitude of ancillary businesses to support most aviation interests.

All listings are free for seven days. AVAD Aviator also offers the convenience of auto-renewals for as little as $.67 per week to keep listings running continuously.

“Our goal is to offer the most current and inclusive aviation Web site possible,” says Chase. “By charging a nominal fee for renewals, we’re ensuring that all listings are attended to and useful.”

“Given the current stressed economic times and the introduction of our Web site, we feel the time is right for aviators to streamline and optimize by moving unused items, finding the best buys available, and staying abreast of the pulse of aviation,” Chase adds.

Power users can also use a free and convenient bulk upload service, critical to those who want to keep their product lines up-to-date and more visible on the Web.
