Any Internet user can instantly sign up for 50 megs. of free web based file storage at http://www.freedrive.com. Users can upload, store, distribute and share their data from any computer, anywhere on the Internet. FreeDrive members can save any type of file; image files, MP3's, documents, shared files or critical backup files. To compensate and manage the expansion to 50 megabytes, FreeDrive has significantly enhanced its information infrastructure to include faster and more robust uploads and downloads, and advanced file sharing features. The company has also deployed a scalable EMC Enterprise Storage system from EMC (NYSE: EMC) Corporation, the world's leading provider of enterprise storage, and EMC Enterprise Storage software to improve storage access times for customers and better protect its information assets. Mike Rhodes, President of FreeDrive, explained "With the popularity of MP3 and other multimedia file formats, FreeDrive users need access to more online storage in order to save a full album worth of music or a complete portfolio of business presentations. By increasing file storage space to 50 megabytes, we can accommodate the changing needs of Internet users without requiring members to "earn" their space by referring new members. We've added EMC Enterprise Storage to support our 1.5 million current members and enable us to scale as membership grows." FreeDrive.com was founded in June of 1998. FreeDrive, http://www.freedrive.com, allows users to privately and securely store, retrieve and share data on the Internet using only a Web browser. Freedrive technology was originally developed to help programmers minimize the difficulties that inevitably arose when working on the same project from a number of different computers in different locations. FreeDrive is a cost effective (FREE) and simple back-up and shareable storage system. FreeDrive is privately held. Contact Freedrive: John Schick | (312) 455-9500 | john@freedrive.com
