SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/09/07 -- Yosemite Technologies, Inc. today announced that it has been honored by CMP Channel's VARBusiness as a 2007 Tech Innovator Company of the Year for its FileKeeper Professional data protection solution in the Business SMB category. The fifth annual Tech Innovators Awards celebrate the most innovative products, people and personalities in the industry and highlight emerging products and technologies currently sold through the IT Channel.

"Innovation is truly the heart of the technology industry, and the winners of this year's VARBusiness Tech Innovator Awards have taken innovation to the next level," said Robert C. DeMarzo, vice president and editorial director, CMP Channel. "We congratulate each and every one of this year's Tech Innovator Award winners."

For each Tech Innovator award category, at least two judges from a select group of top solution providers and integrators rated each entry on characteristics such as usefulness, the "new and improved" factor, price/performance, revenue potential and overall "coolness." The process leads to three VARBusiness Tech Innovator finalists for each category, with the top scoring product in each category earning the VARBusiness Tech Innovator award.

"We work closely with our global network of industry-leading partners to provide our customers with targeted data protection solutions," said George Symons, CEO of Yosemite Technologies. "It is an honor for FileKeeper Professional to be recognized for setting a new standard in ease-of-use and affordability by top channel solution providers."

FileKeeper Professional uses near Continuous Data Protection (CDP) technology to protect irreplaceable data as it is created and transparently stores file versions to one or more safe storage locations. Its intuitive features include recovery of previous versions of a file or deleted files with a simple right click of the mouse in the Microsoft Windows user interface.

Yosemite FileKeeper Professional is available now for purchase and is priced at $29.99 per seat. As a means of delivering FileKeeper Professional through the retail channel, Yosemite has signed an agreement with Smith Micro, a leading developer and marketer of innovative software solutions and services for the wireless market.
