Cyberkey Teams Up With
Iomega
CyberKey announced it has entered into a licensing agreement and a software
developer agreement with Iomega Corporation for its Active Disk
technology.
Under terms of the agreement, CyberKey users will be able to download
Active
Disk Powered compatible applications off the Internet to a CyberKey USB drive,
allowing individuals to use such applications and related data files on any
Universal Serial Bus-enabled personal computer or electronics device. The
agreement also allows CyberKey to forge separate agreements with software
developers to provide Active Disk Powered compatible applications to CyberKey
users.
"Iomega has developed some pretty cool technology with Active Disk,
technology
that allows CyberKey's on-the-go users to take their applications and data
with them anywhere around the world," said Jim Plant, CyberKey president and
chief executive officer. "This Active Disk licensing agreement with Iomega is
just CyberKey's first step in delivering complete solutions to the world, not
just another form of portable storage technology
CyberKey's USB drives allow users to easily transport large amounts of
electronic data and software applications from one computing device to another
as long as the devices come equipped with a USB port, which is a standard
feature in virtually all personal computers shipped today. CyberKeys are "plug
and play" devices capable running on most popular operating systems without
device drivers, including Macintosh, Linux and Windows (after Windows98). A
device roughly the size of an adult's "pinky" finger, CyberKeys can store up
to one Gigabyte (1GB) of electronic data per device.
"This agreement gives CyberKey users access to more than 100 Active Disk
Powered software applications, titles that allow individuals the ability to
transport their software and data anywhere they go," said Tim Dammon, product
general manager, Iomega Corporation. "Active Disk is another award-winning
technology from Iomega, and we're pleased to have this licensing relationship
with CyberKey for our Active Disk technology."
Iomega's Active Disk technology enables software to live entirely on an
Iomega
Zip disk or Iomega Mini USB drive for total application portability and
convenience. Active-Disk powered applications launch automatically, require no
separate installation, and leave no trace on the host PC. (The Active Disk
driver is a one-time install on the host computer). The growing list of
Active Disk software titles at www.iomega.com is helping users migrate their
systems to Windows XP, track passwords, manage files, play games, do their
online banking, and much more. Over 100 Active Disk titles are currently
available for download, including Microsoft Reader, Microsoft PowerPoint
Viewer, MusicMatch Jukebox and PopCap Bejeweled.
