IBM Signs e-Commerce Agreement With Digital River, Inc.

IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that it has signed an agreement with Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), a global leader in e-commerce outsourcing. Through the agreement, Digital River is making IBM Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files software available for online purchase and digital download through the Digital River oneNetworkâ„¢ marketplace, which includes leading online retailers, such as OfficeMax Incorporated, Staples, Inc. and Circuit City Stores, Inc., among others.

Digital River enables companies to generate increased visibility for their digital products through an established indirect online sales channel. IBM’s software, also available via download on ibm.com and through other sales channels, costs $35 per laptop or desktop PC.

IBM Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files is a “real-time data safety net” that provides PC users and small businesses with continuous backup for information on laptops and desktop PCs. Since every version of a file is saved continuously, digitally stored information, music and photos are protected from viruses, file corruption or accidental deletion.

The software helps home-based businesses, medical offices, retail shops and individual computer users — who rarely back up the information on their PCs — to continuously safeguard information the same way that banks and other big businesses do.
