NTI Selected to Add Value and Differentiation to Toshiba's New External Storage Offerings
LAS VEGAS, NV (January 8, 2007) - NewTech Infosystems, Inc. (NTI) announced today that its award-winning software, NTI Shadow™, as well as OEM trial versions of NTI Ripper™ and NTI Digital Jack™ will ship with Toshiba's new line of USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drives available in 100GB, 120GB, and 160GB capacities.
As the software vendor of choice for Toshiba's new line of external drives, NTI proves once again that it is a high-quality software vendor that can fulfill the requirements of first-class OEMs. Together with Toshiba, NTI has customized its NTI Shadow software to support the familiar look and feel of the Toshiba brand.
Tested for quality and usability, NTI Shadow provides a unique solution for data backup. In comparison to other backup solutions, which are either too simple to be effective or too complicated to be useful, NTI Shadow gives the user control over backup jobs with its intuitive and easy to use interface. The user can run automatic, continuous, or scheduled backups. The software also includes useful user options for optimal efficiency such as version control to manage the number of version changes retained, the convenience of filtering for specific file types such as photos, documents, music files, as well as custom file types, and more.
"Our focus in developing the Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive line was to put a new look on personal storage with a simple solution that would be a snap for users at all levels of technology sophistication to install and run," said Maciek Brzeski, vice president of marketing, Toshiba Storage Device Division. "The NTI Shadow software is a key feature of that solution, along with Toshiba's special industrial design and hardware operation. We selected NTI Shadow software because of its ease and functionality--a perfect complement to Toshiba's new portable HDD solution."
As an added value, users will also receive OEM trial versions of NTI's one-button CD ripping application, NTI Ripper, which allows users to quickly rip an entire audio CD to their hard drive and will automatically name their music files according to song name, artist, album name, and track number. NTI Ripper also includes the ability to standardize quality and convert multiple music file formats to one format on the fly with its automatic batch conversion capability which supports MP3, WAV, WMA, and OGG audio file formats. The NTI Digital Jack application offers users a fun way to playback digital music directly from their PC or notebook. The familiar car stereo interface offers users playback options like crossfade which fades out the end of one song and at the same time fades in the start of the next song, normalization, which balances the playback of all songs to one level, and preset equalization for jazz, rock, classical, hip-hop, and other music styles.
"NTI is committed to providing technology manufacturers like Toshiba with feature-rich, intuitive software solutions to help differentiate their products and satisfy their customers," stated Bill Yao, president and CEO of NTI. "We are pleased to offer Toshiba users the benefits of NTI Shadow™, NTI Ripper™, and NTI Digital Jack™, to allow them to not only safeguard their valuables, but also efficiently archive their audio files.
