Here’s their press release.

– New online data protection and sync service with Personal Digital Archive now available to businesses and consumers, at $19.95/month for service and $2/GB PayOnceâ„¢ storage.

San Diego—Monday, October 08, 2007— Tilana Systems Corporation (http://www.tilana.com) today announced the immediate availability of its new premium online data management service called Tilana Reserve. The new online service and software for Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000 includes encrypted CDP (Continuous Data Protection), folder and file synchronization across multiple computers, and automatic unlimited versioning, all through a secure and Web accessible Personal Digital Archive.

While concluding beta testing of the core Tilana Reserve service, the company also announced the beginning of beta testing for a new Windows Mobile software utility, which enables seamless data center access from hand held devices.

After years of development, and over a year of beta testing, the full-featured Tilana Reserve enters a market flooded with primitive solutions that only partially serve the needs of consumer and business PC users.

“What we’re offering is everything backup leaves out, with the best possible backup thrown in,” said Joe Austin, Tilana CEO. “It’s amazing to see how successfully simple backup has performed in the marketplace to date. We’re eager for PC users to see what they’ve been missing when settling for simple $5/month online backup services.”

Tilana believes that as the use of digital storage becomes more rampant PC users will soon become more intimate with the limitations of simply managing an off-site copy of what’s still stored on their computers. Offloading data to a Personal Digital Archive such as Tilana Reserve is a truly unique solution to this problem, and with a revolutionary pricing model.

For $2 per GB unlimited PayOnce storage Tilana Reserve subscribers can store any and all of their personal and business media, whether it’s a backup copy or offloaded as an archive. Ongoing access to the remotely stored data is an unchanging $19.95 per month, regardless of how much space is consumed in the data center.

Tilana Reserve goes beyond the basic online backup-archive-retrieval model, first by providing the best implementation of each component, but further by also including an innovative combination of features, functionality, and pricing.

True CDP With Perpetual Archive, Far Beyond Old-fashioned Scheduled Backup
Tilana Reserve provides true CDP, which instantaneously saves file changes as version history in personal data center storage. New files are also immediately replicated to the remote space and when files are deleted from a protected computer they’re automatically archived in the remote storage space for as long as needed.

Sync for All Files and Folders, Across Multiple Computers, Automatically
Tilana Reserve synchronizes all kinds of files including business documents, contact databases, and entertainment media. PC users can now remotely store, continuously protect, and automatically sync any kind of file that’s generated, downloaded, or updated on their computers. Changes to files and folders on any of the computers configured to sync will automatically update on the other computers configured to use the same Tilana Reserve account. Even files deleted from one machine are automatically deleted from another, while remaining permanently and securely stored in the customer’s fully managed Personal Digital Archive off-site.

Secure Exclusive Access Through Any Web Browser
When users are away from their computers where the Tilana Reserve utility software has been installed, anything stored and updated in the remote data space is accessible from the Tilana.com web site through secure login from any web browser. Files can be securely downloaded from, or uploaded to the remote storage space through the browser. When overwritten by a file that’s been uploaded, any file already stored remotely will be simply updated with a newer version in its stored version history. Files new to the remote space, as well as updates to files already stored there, will also automatically sync back down to any computer on account that’s been configured to do so immediately after the files are uploaded.

Enterprise-Class Functionality and Service, Priced For The SMB and Consumer
Tilana Reserve presents a new pricing model for remote disk space called PayOnce. Subscribers pay the same $2 per GB one time for their personal secure off-site storage space, and pay the unchanging monthly $19.95 service fee for ongoing access to it. When storage space is filled up more is always available for adding to the account, at the same PayOnce $2 per GB.

The Tilana Reserve desktop software is a free download, installs in about a minute and requires little if any configuration. Users can choose to enable an unlimited number of computers with the software, and then selectively protect and/or synchronize files and folders on those computers via their personal remote storage space.

About Tilana Systems Corporation

San Diego based Tilana Systems Corporation makes storage useful, by combining continuous data protection, permanent archival, web access, version history, and multi-computer synchronization into one affordable service.

The company’s first offering, Tilana Reserve, uses software installed on the desktop to securely transmit files between the user’s protected PCs and personal remote storage space. After initial upload of protected files, the software sends only changes to files as they’re saved, along with any new files as they appear in protected folders on the user’s computer.

Free phone and email support is available to all Tilana Reserve subscribers, during Pacific business hours Monday through Friday. Please visit http://www.tilana.com for more information on Tilana Reserve and Tilana Systems Corp.

The names Tilana and Tilana Reserve, their associated pinecone logos, and the PayOnce name are all trademarks of Tilana Systems Corporation. The words “Protection, Access, Synchronization, Anytime, Anywhere, Always,” when used together and in sequence, and whether used in whole or in part, are also trademarks of Tilana Systems Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

Tilana Reserve monitors activity on any files and folders it has been configured to protect, waiting to see when any existing files are altered or when any new files are generated or downloaded to disk. New files and changes to existing ones are then uploaded as edits are saved. This is made possible by our delta versioning technology, which only transfers changes to files and operates in the background without any noticeable impact on performance or bandwidth.

Your Tilana Reserve account stores a practically unlimited number of versions of each protected file which are always available – each uniquely time stamp identified.

Any protected file is instantly available to restore, revert or synchronize between computers.

Any protected or archived folder is retrievable in any previously saved state, automatically reassembled from the stored version histories of any protecdted files within it.

A single Tilana Reserve account may protect a single computer, or synchronize content and data on multiple computers.

I’ve heard about PPP a few months before but it is only now that we will be implementing it in our blogs. From what I’ve heard, PPP is a great company and does really a very good job of bringing together publishers and advertisers.

The usual approach if there are no companies like PPP is that each website owner needs to have their own advertising managers who needs to find advertisers individually. That would be hard work. Fortunately, with PPP, blog owners do not need to worry about talking to advertisers and stuff like that. All they need to do is to keep on blogging and increasing their blog traffic. PPP does the rest.

Now that’s a win-win deal in my book.
