ELAN Forms Power Partnership with Terra-SAN For Media Back-Up Services

ELAN and Terra-SAN Celebrate New Partnership and Demonstrate Services at Upcoming ELAN 2007 TRIO Dealer Summit

LEXINGTON, KY ─ ELAN Home Systems, a leading manufacturer of award-winning Multi-Room audio/video and home control systems, announced today that the company has entered into a cooperative marketing partnership with Terra-SAN, a premiere digital media management firm that grooms and imports private CD audio collections onto digital media servers, to provide secure, off-site media back-up services for its entire line of VIA!dj Digital Music Servers. The announcement was made today by Bob Farinelli, ELAN’s President and Chief Technology Officer.

As an important new element in ELAN’s ongoing efforts to continually enhance and improve upon the capabilities of its VIA!dj line, the new partnership will make the process of digital music back-up as easy and cost-effective as possible for Custom Dealers and their end Clients. Terra-SAN is on the forefront of digital content loading, back-up and storage, with its advanced technology offerings. The Company provides an array of crucial services, and is able to read, import, load and back up media from large personally owned collections residing on CDs, MP3s or any other digital format. Terra-SAN provides unique offerings, including the option to have a Network Attached Storage device (a Terra-NAS) sent directly to the Installation site so that the Dealer can easily perform quick, hassle-free back-up services on premises — alleviating the need to send the VIA!dj system and CDs to the factory, which saves valuable time and money.

The powerful combination of ELAN and Terra-SAN provides simplified back-up for all models in ELAN’s VIA!dj Music Server family, from the newest entries in the line to legacy VIA!dj products. Knowing the companies are working closely together, Dealers and Clients can rest assured they will enjoy premium service and gain piece of mind knowing their collections can be easily and quickly recovered if required.

Mr. Farinelli stated, “We believe it is imperative that content loaded onto any music server system in our industry is backed-up properly after the data has been loaded, and are pleased to be aligned with Terra-SAN to provide the best-of-breed suite of services. Just as Consumers perform back-up of their computer files regularly, so should they on any product with a hard-disk drive. Backing-up ensures that media, and the Dealer’s valuable time spent loading it, is never lost.”

“We have been working closely with some of ELAN’s Dealers for over a year on backing up their VIA!dj systems. It’s exciting to formalize the relationship to benefit all ELAN Dealers, and let them know they can count on us as a close partner,” added Terra-SAN CEO Joel DeGray. “The endorsement from such a respected industry leader is invaluable to us, and we look forward to further aiding to the success of ELAN Dealers.”

To kick-off the partnership, Terra-SAN has signed on as ELAN’s tenth TRIO Sponsor and will demonstrate its back-up, content loading and data grooming services at the Summit. Dealer’s will be able to understand all of the options and see the procedures in person, meet Terra-SAN CEO Joel DeGray, and benefit from special joint-promotion pricing for back-up solutions.

Themed “Wired and Inspired” this year, TRIO is an exclusive event that will bring together more than 375 of ELAN’s top Dealers, VIA! Integration Partners, Sales Reps and Members of the Media at the Marriott Griffin Gate Resort in Lexington, Kentucky, May 17-19.

Terra-SAN will join a prestigious group of leading industry Sponsors including Lutron, Middle Atlantic, Sunfire, Vantage, Aprilaire, Gefen, LiteTouch, EH Publishing, and Bedrock Learning, all of whom will all be on-hand at TRIO to demonstrate how their products, services, and close partnerships with ELAN uniquely benefit the ELAN Dealers.
