FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Infrant Technologies, a leader in network-based storage for home and small business use, today announced that it has begun bundling EMC(R) Corporation's powerful yet easy-to-use Retrospect(R) backup and recovery software on select ReadyNAS appliances. This robust pairing of two award-winning technologies, the ReadyNAS and Retrospect, delivers an ideal back-up and recovery solution for small and medium businesses (SMB) and small-office/home-offices (SOHO).

"With Infrant shipping the Retrospect bundle, ReadyNAS users will reap the many benefits of our automated and reliable backup and recovery software," said Don Chouinard, director of product marketing for EMC Retrospect.
