ATLANTA, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ROBOBAK(TM), the leader in agentless data protection software designed for remote and branch offices, today announced that the ROBOBAK Testing Laboratories have certified solid state drives from STEC, Inc. (NASDAQ:STEC) to work with ROBOBAK's Version 8 Data Protection Suite software. The certification covers STEC's full line of solid-state drives (SSDs), including its Ultra-Mobile SSD, introduced earlier this year. The tests were conducted last month at the ROBOBAK Testing Laboratories in Canada, demonstrating seamless interaction between ROBOBAK's Version 8 and STEC's SSDs, thus ensuring reliable and rapid response for companies needing to backup and restore corporate-critical data to servers, desktop and laptop computers. "ROBOBAK's certification of our solid state drives makes it possible for companies of all sizes to use STEC products with the full confidence of maximum dependability and minimum hassle," said Patrick Wilkison, vice president of marketing and business development at STEC. "As SSDs gain greater traction in the marketplace, it becomes more important than ever that software manufacturers develop products that customers know will work without fail. ROBOBAK has taken an important step in this direction; we trust other software firms will follow suit." Introduced earlier this year, ROBOBAK's Version 8 Data Protection Suite software offers a full range of advanced features, enabling companies to adopt a unified approach in protecting data from remote and branch locations. With advantages such as agentless installation, "real-world" continuous data protection (CDP), auto-discovery, source-based file de-duplication, and support for Microsoft Exchange 2007, SQL Server and more, ROBOBAK has rapidly become the leader in agentless remote data protection software. "STEC has aggressively moved in the direction of being the market leader in the production of SSDs," said Ben Puzzuoli, who has responsibility for the ROBOBAK Testing Laboratories. "Demonstrating that our software works with STEC's hardware provides our companies' customers and prospects a greater level of confidence that things will work as they are supposed to. Companies should not have to hope that software and hardware will function as advertised; our certification delivers the assurance of reliability needed in today's market."
