Mangosoft Releases Mangomind Version 2.0
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mangosoft Releases Mangomind Version 2.0
New file sharing service features improve offline access and workgroup communication and collaboration
Westborough, MA - July 23, 2001: Mangosoft, Inc. (OTC: BB: MGOF), a leading provider of
Internet-enabling business software and services, announced today the release of Mangomind version 2.0,
the latest edition of the company's business Internet file sharing and online storage product line.
Mangomind v2.0 makes offline file access more powerful, enhances secure business communication and
collaboration, and increases ease of use. Key features of Mangomind v2.0 include:
- Advanced synchronization: controls a new "pinning" feature automatically updates
user-designated files and folders and saves them in the local PC cache so the most recent versions are
always available during offline use. Offline access to files provides increased productivity and convenience
for remote workers who don't always have an Internet connection. This mechanism augments Mangomind's usage-based
caching rules.
- Secure Messaging: a new Notice Board utility allows users to securely exchange messages with
other users on a specific Mangomind Drive. Users are alerted when a new message has been posted and all
messages are encrypted to ensure the highest level of security. The Notice Board also allows Mangosoft
administrators to communicate important service alerts and software updates
directly to all Drive users.
- Easier to use: additional features in Mangomind v2.0 are designed to simplify drive installation,
administration, and operation.
"Mangomind is a unique business solution with a solid technology foundation from a company with a rich
tradition of enterprise quality engineering," said Scott Davis, Vice President and Chief Technology
Officer of Mangosoft. "Our Mangomind offering is a "best of breed" Internet file service and our
ongoing development efforts address the usability and functionality requirements of an increasingly
mobile workforce. This upgrade is about continuous improvements in ease of use for our customers."
Mangomind is designed for business users who frequently collaborate with remote colleagues, partners,
and others outside the corporate firewall and who require remote file access. It is more secure, reliable,
easy to use, and cost-effective than any other solution available today and is the only service with full
simultaneous multi-user capabilities. Mangomind operates with the same look and feel of a familiar
Windows drive, is easy to install, and does not require extensive end-user training.
Security for Mangomind products is provided by RSA Security (NasdaqNM: RSAS) and includes business
level 128-bit encryption of transferred and stored files. Mangomind also includes Tier 1 enterprise hosting
with automatic backup and restore functions as well 24 x 7 customer support and service.
Davis added, "From enabling new business applications and new platforms to creating wireless applications,
we are excited about what the upcoming versions of Mangomind will bring. We are dedicated to providing
the best technology available today so that Mangomind continues to meet the evolving needs of our
corporate clients".
