Just a reminder that NTI will be releasing their new Ninja software at midnight tonight (Pacific time). To kick off the launch, NTI is offering free downloads for one day only.

Starting at midnight tonight, NewTech Infosystems (NTI) will be making their new Ninja software - a USB data storage and protection software solution - available free on their web site, www.ntius.com. Unlike most fixed partition USB software, NTI Ninja allows users to adjust the size of their public and private partitions on their portable storage device. In addition, the software provides users with complete storage area anti-tamper encryption and password protection.

The new software was developed to meet the dramatic increase in today's mobile workforce, the increased use of USB storage devices and the need to protect content and data from being stolen or compromised on the small, portable devices.
If you miss out on your free download, the software can otherwise be purchased for $24.95. More information on the launch of NTI Ninja can be found here. Add a comment
