Teradactyl lands its backup software company in New Mexico

Albuquerque, NM (May 1, 2002) -Teradactyl, LLC officials are looking to Albuquerque to expand their operations.

Though the plans are not set, it is likely that this three-year-old Albuquerque-Pittsburgh software engineering company will need new space in Albuquerque to meet the growing demand for its technology and services. Teradactyl's revolutionary backup software is changing the way companies deal with backup system problems by saving them time, money and network resources. The company's True incremental Backup System™ (TiBS) so impressed administrators at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh that two of the university's departments have signed up for the technology.

The company's contracts with Carnegie Mellon University, one of the vanguard schools of computer technology, are proof of the reliability of the software. Teradactyl's software is streamlining backup of the university's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and its School of Computer Science.

TiBS is the invention of Carnegie Mellon graduate Kristen J. Webb, Partner & CTO. He recognized the need for more efficient backup strategies and created the software to fill the need.

"TiBS is the most intelligent backup software on the market. Once we take a full backup from a computer we never need to access the unchanged files again," Webb said. "After the first backup, only changed files are transferred across the network. The software has such a minimal impact on network resources that companies can afford to run backups even during operational hours."

What's most important, Webb noted, is that the TiBS restore feature is simple, efficient and reliable.

Teradactyl settled in Albuquerque in January 1999 to be at the center of an expanding hub of technology companies, said John N. Riley, III, Partner & CEO. "The more data an organization has in its information systems, the greater they will benefit from our technology. We know that this is where the next technology explosion will occur and we want to be in the middle of it."

"What is happening in New Mexico today is shaping the future of the world," Webb said. "Teradactyl is looking to expand here in New Mexico because we want to be a part of the visionary perspective that makes this area vibrant. We believe that through our revolutionary technology, we can protect the research and information that will shape tomorrow's world."
