MiraLink Corporation Provides Free Disaster Recovery Business Tips in Preparation for Hurricane Season

Real-Time Disaster Recovery Solution Provides Affordable and Instantaneous Protection of Business Critical Assets in Event of Hurricane

PORTLAND, Ore. (May 22, 2006)

In the company's continuous commitment to provide real-time disaster recovery solutions, MiraLink, the proven expert in remote disaster recovery solutions, announced today free disaster recovery prevention tips as part of Hurricane Preparedness week (May 21-27). According to NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, nine significant hurricanes are anticipated in 2006. Ideal for businesses residing in heightened hurricane regions, MiraLink disaster recovery solutions provide an affordable and easy to deploy solution scalable for small to medium enterprise businesses.

"For more than a decade we have been committed to providing affordable and easy to use disaster recovery solutions," said Ron McCabe, president and CEO of MiraLink Corporation. "As hurricanes increasingly become more intense businesses need to be more cautious than previous years. By addressing vulnerabilities upfront, businesses can proactively enforce a disaster recovery plan to maintain business continuity even under the worst case scenarios."

Real-Time Disaster Recovery

Protecting business critical data is essential for businesses today. However, a natural disaster such as a hurricane can be potentially crippling for businesses, resulting in loss of intellectual property and revenue. According to NOAA, a very active Atlantic hurricane season is in progress, with an estimated 17 tropical storms between August and November 2006 with nine expected to be major hurricanes. Additionally, experts are still in debate whether global warming has heightened the increase and severity of hurricanes. It is anticipated that as we progress through the 21st century, hurricanes will grow stronger and will have significantly more intense rainfall than current climate conditions. As a result, businesses need to exercise more planning in developing a proactive disaster recovery plan. Unfortunately, businesses are more often reactionary than proactive due to technology and cost prohibitive solutions.

MiraLink's disaster recovery technology solves the issues businesses have faced in the past when implementing a remote data protection solution. Now businesses no longer have to make trade-offs among distance, data consistency, price and cost to operate.
