Oxfordshire, UK 28th February 2006 - Otium Software, the leading UK-based provider of affordable Storage Resource Management (SRM) software, today announced a new partnership with The Storage Depot, whereby Storage Depot will offer an OEM version of UtiliSync as a value add up-sell with all of their external disk devices.

Tiel Holdstock Director at Storage Depot explained. “We have always tried to provide informative guidance on our web site on how and why our customers should back up. We recommend a number of products but decided to add UtiliSync to our portfolio as it hit certain key criteria.” Holdstock continues “We were conscious that many users wanted something very simple otherwise they simply will not use the backup software. UtiliSync meets this criteria. In addition we are able to offer it at a price point that shows real value for money for our customers.”

Andrew Martin, Director at Otium commented “We are excited about this relationship. UtiliSync was designed to backup to external hard drives. Storage Depot provides a great selection of external hard drive options, but also offers great customer advice including guidance on why and how to backup. UtiliSync is a great fit for their business model.

UtiliSync has a normal RRP of £19.99 and is currently protecting files and data on 10,000s of users across the UK and beyond. Storage Depot customers can purchase an OEM version of UtiliSync when bundled with a hard drive for £9.99 from www.storagedepot.co.uk
