Posted on: Wednesday, 1 October 2008, 09:00 CDT

OTTAWA, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Axentra Corporation, developer of the award-winning HipServ announced today that its home server software and services platform solution has been selected by France Telecom's Orange to be deployed this month as the world's first service provider home server solution.

Orange's HomeLibrary which enables consumers to store, backup, enjoy and share their precious photos and other personal digital content anywhere, anytime and on any device, is based on Axentra's HipServ home server software and services platform and LaCie's Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices. Axentra and LaCie have partnered earlier this year to offer a fully customizable hardware and software solution for the service provider market.

"The choice of HipServ as the software foundation for Orange's HomeLibrary offering by France Telecom, one of most innovative and successful service providers, is a formidable validation that Axentra is leading the way when it comes to service provider home server platforms implementation" said Marc-Antoine Benglia, Chief Executive Officer of Axentra Corporation. "Axentra has been a pioneer of the home server segment for the past five years. All that expertise now helps service providers to bring a solid and proven solution to the market in record time".

The number of broadband-enabled homes worldwide is growing exponentially, and service providers are looking for new and unique solutions to offer their customers in order to differentiate themselves from the competition. Axentra's HipServ is a robust and secure platform which positions SPs at the center of the digital home and is now poised for rapid success in this fast growing market segment worldwide.
