312, Inc., Launches LeanOnMe, an Effortless Peer-to-Peer Backup / Retrieval System and Calls for a Stop to the Battle over P2P Technology.
312, Inc., a software development and Web services company, today announced the release of LeanOnMe, a platform independent backup and remote access solution. LeanOnMe harnesses the power of peer-to-peer (P2P) technology to provide secure off-site backup and enables the user to access his or her own information anywhere LeanOnMe is installed. The data files are encrypted and are not accessible to anyone other than the content owner. "Much like the World Wide Web or a corporate network, P2P technology is simply one type of technology solution that allows users to accomplish a variety of tasks," stated Brian Neilson, CEO of 312 Inc. "Unfortunately, like the Web, P2P technology has been used for illegal activities.
However, P2P technology can also be used for legal and beneficial purposes." Neilson continued. "312's LeanOnMe does not allow sharing of illegal or copyrighted material; it's for the protection of data. The user's data is encrypted and cannot be accessed by the remote host. LeanOnMe demonstrates that the generic association of P2P technology and illegal activities is no longer valid." LeanOnMe is easy to use and backs up data files to one or more on-line computers. Users can select files or folders to protect and then choose someone to "lean on" for remote storage.
This removes the need for tapes, CD's and monthly Web storage fees. Any new or updated files are automatically protected based on a user-defined backup schedule. Set it up once, like your anti-virus software, and LeanOnMe will run in the background protecting your selected files. LeanOnMe offers effortless protection with a lot more integrated functionality.Juan Carlos Soto, Sun Microsystems Director of the Software, CTO Office said: "We are thrilled to see 312's LeanOnMe product applying JXTA peer-to-peer technology to automate computer file back-up. People can now securely share computer resources in a trusted, cooperative, and highly available peer-to-peer network to back-up data.
Using Java and JXTA technologies, 312 has created a platform independent, secure network backup product that works over the Internet."Create your own Web of Protection"Set it up once but don't forget it. LeanOnMe allows you to create your own group so you can invite your friends, family or colleagues to join. You can use it at home and work and never email, transfer or forget an important file again, just access it remotely," said Andrew Kiolbasa, 312, Inc. Chief Operating Officer and head of product development. "Sometimes a file is lost simply because you can't remember where you saved it.
With LeanOnMe you can sort all of your protected files so you can find them quickly and easily" Kiolbasa added.Pricing and AvailabilityLeanOnMe is $50.00 with an introductory offer of a convenient 2-user license (buy 1, give 1 for free). LeanOnMe is available for immediate download at www.312inc.com. Annual maintenance agreements and corporate / government volume discounts are available.About 312, Inc.312, Inc.

6 Home Office Essentials
If you plan to work at home or start your own home-based business, your home office should have some basic equipment to help you project a professional image. The proper tools will also help you stay productive, eliminating emergency trips to the office supply store.
1. First of all, you will need a desk. Your desk should have enough room for your computer and enough surface space for any writing you may need to do.
If your computer desk isn't large enough, consider adding a table nearby. You will need pens, pencils, a stapler, paper clips, binders, computer paper, and a hole puncher for your desk. A small notebook for jotting down notes and reminders is also helpful.
2. Make sure that you get a comfortable chair for your desk.
You may be spending a lot of time in it! Adjustable office chairs are best. That way you can raise or lower your chair according to the height of your desk.
3. A small three-drawer file cabinet will...
