PRO Engineering Announces:
EZRAID "Lite" for OS/2
Disk Management Software for OS/2 Desktop Systems

OTTAWA, July 1. 1994, PRO Engineering the recent startup 
founded by former Corel lead developer, Daniel Levesque, 
announced today EZRAID Lite for OS/2, a software-based disk 
management solution for the OS/2 desktop market. For users 
of OS/2 2.x and OS/2 for Windows, EZRAID Lite has a 
suggested retail price of only $195 and will be generally 
available on August 1st, 1994.
	EZRAID Lite brings the benefits of RAID technology to the
desktop level at a breakthrough price point. Offering disk 
mirroring, data striping and disk spanning, EZRAID Lite 
creates disk arrays with unparalleled ease and flexibility. 
The software supports all disk interfaces including IDE, 
ESDI and SCSI.
	"Now any OS/2 user can combine two standard hard disks 
and take advantage of the fault-tolerance, complete data-
reliability and the increased storage capacity offered with 
RAID technology," said PRO Engineering president Daniel 
Levesque. He adds, "With OS/2 for Windows now available 
world-wide, any DOS or Windows application will benefit from 
the advanced disk management features found in EZRAID Lite."
	For simplified data management EZRAID Lite is able to strip
or span data across any two hard disks creating a single 
large logical drive. And with the software's ability to 
mirror existing logical drives without the need to reformat, 
EZRAID Lite provides real-time backups of all user files.
	Implemented as a logical disk device driver, EZRAID 
Lite controls RAIDs at the partition level. This unique 
approach allows RAID logical drives to co-exist with 
existing partitions on hard disks. In addition any 
combination of mirroring, striping and spanning can be used 
on the same set of physical disk drives.
	As the world's first desktop RAID product, EZRAID Lite is a
personal version of EZRAID for OS/2, a product that supports 
RAID levels 0, 1, 4 and 5 and retails for $795. The product 
is PRO Engineering's latest addition to their growing family 
of software based RAID solutions.
