Universal Binary versions of TechTool Protege and DiskStudio
SANTA ROSA, CA - September 12, 2006 - Micromat, Inc., developer of
Macintosh disk repair and maintenance technology, today announced the
release of updates for both TechTool Protege (a bootable FireWire
flash drive that contains both TechTool Pro 4 and DiskStudio) and
DiskStudio (a disk partitioning utility). These updates provide
Universal Binary support for both products so that they can be used
on either Intel or PowerPC-based Macs. All of the features that were
previously available for PowerPC-based Macs will now be available for
Intel-based Macs as well.
Unlike most application software, utilities require more than a
simple re-compile of the program to support the Intel-based Macs.
Because utilities work with the computer hardware at the lowest
levels, it was necessary for Micromat to completely re-engineer the
software from the ground up. In order to support the new models, Mac
OS X 10.4 (Tiger) is required to run the programs.

EonPath Increases Fault Tolerance and Performance, Ensures Storage
System Availability
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 12, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- RAID storage
expert Infortrend today announced that it is adding multipathing
