Speaker: More than simply saving data, finding data, when and where you need has become a growing problem. In addition to traditional PCs and notebooks, users are saving data in cell phones, PDI and other mass storage tools, complicating instead of simplifying their lives. But help is on the way with Memopal, illustrated by Marco Trombetti, CEO.
Marco Trombetti: Memopal provides on-line backup and on-line storage solutions. Simply said, we transfer your data from your PC to a server on the Internet. You can change your data or PC as many times as you like but all your stuff will always be in the same place, and protected! Just click, to share your stuff with co-workers or friends. It is that simple. What are the significant differences between Memopal and the free services offered by the big names like Google and Microsoft?
Basically, Microsoft, for example, introduced a free solution they called SkyDrive that offers five gigabytes. We think users need more space, so our basic offer provides 250 gigabytes. Our success is based on our new files system technology a way to more efficiently save information exploiting user data similarities.
Speaker: How does this tool interact with business processes and what impacts does it have on the single user’s daily routine?
Marco Trombetti: It interacts well with business processes, so much so the General Electric just chose the on-line backup solution for its three hundred thousand employees. They are most probably based their choice on the cost-effect aspect since it cost much less than other solutions and guaranteed interesting business opportunities, mainly file sharing. We believe e-mail has become and inefficient way to send large files. If you try to send a 50 mega file, it most probably will not be delivered, but if information is already on a remote server, all we have to do is click to create a link and send it to a co-worker.
Speaker: How do you guarantee user security, performance and privacy all at the same time?
Marco Trombetti: Privacy is very important to us. Our market credibility lies in our ability to protect user data. We do this in various ways:
The first and most important way is to encrypt information exchanged between the user and our servers. When information is written on our servers, it is also encrypted. In addition, users are anonymous:
Anyone can register for our service without telling us their name. A company can purchase a thousand or two thousand workstations without ever telling us who has which license. Anonymity and encryptation already provide a pretty good level of protection, better than the standards offered by our mail service if, for example, hosted by a provider. But we do even more.
Instead of simply writing files to a disk, we break them a part like hard copies through a small paper shredder. Thus user documents are shredded and then pieced together when needed. Any hackers who try to open somebody else’s data will only find partial and encrypted information that he cannot use.
