“Mountain View Data, Inc. today announced the beta release of
InterMezzo(tm) 1.0 – an advanced distributed file system software
solution optimized for high availability, server mirroring and
backup, and content dissemination. With the launch of InterMezzo,
Mountain View Data is now gearing up to provide its data management
services to enterprise customers, data centers, and ISPs/ASPs
throughout North America and in Asian markets.”

“InterMezzo brings a fundamental technology to synchronize
active file systems across multiple servers in environments with
intermittent network connectivity. InterMezzo is the ideal file
system solution for many data replication and synchronization
applications, such as content distribution and server mirroring,”
said Dr. Peter Braam, CTO and EVP of Engineering at Mountain View
Data. “Optimized to provide simple yet robust and scalable
replication, InterMezzo is positioned to see wide acceptance for
server mirroring, backup as well as for synchronizing mobile
clients.”

“Braam started development of InterMezzo in the fall of
1998, and since then has worked with many companies and
individuals, as is common with Linux-based applications. Most
recently, Tacitus Systems, based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey,
contributed extensive testing and debugging to the
application.”
