On April 30, 2009 Millenniata attended the 7th Annual Utah Innovation Awards in Salt Lake City. A committee comprised of over 70 experts in fields such as "Biotechnology/Pharmaceuticals, Chemical/Material Science, Clean Technology and Energy, and Computer Hardware/Electrical Devices," selected the finalists.

"The Innovation Award recognizes the leading edge technology being invented in the state of Utah," said Chris Gluch, Marketing and Sales Associate at Millenniata.

Millenniata won 1st place in the category, Computer Hardware/Electrical Devices. The award was for the innovative M-ARC Disc.

"Winning this award means that you are a trendsetter in the industry. It was very nice to be recognized by our peers," said Gluch.

Stoel Rives, the leading U.S. law firm, hosted the Innovation Awards 2009. Stoel Rives has over 365 lawyers across seven states. They practice in the 50 States and internationally as well.

The Utah Technology Council partnered with Stoel Rives to present the awards. The law firm specializes in patent law.

"They had a record number of entries this year," said Gluch.

Before the luncheon, Gluch and Bill Grubbs, Senior V.P. in Corporate Development and Investor Relations, had the opportunity to network with other Utah Companies and local government officials in attendance.

Before the ceremonies began, a demo of the disc was offered to the attendees.

"We had good feedback from everyone," said Gluch.

Millenniata continues to gain progress on the M-ARC Disc and the M-Writer Drive. The launch of the products is set to be this year.

Who could benefit from the Millennial Disc™

Customers who will benefit immediately from the use of the Millennial Disc™ are those in government agencies, medical and religious institutions, insurance and entertainment industries, data storage service providers, genealogical organizations, and large and small businesses.

SNIA's 100 Year Archive Task Force

The Storage Network Industry Association's 100 Year Archive Task Force was created to address the pending crisis in long-term preservation of digital information. The task force identified two principle challenges:

1. losing information that is stored digitally; and
2. losing control of the ability to keep up with migrating the overwhelming volume of information.

Millenniata's solution addresses both of these concerns by providing 1,000-year (10X desired) longevity and putting the archival capability at the hands of the creator in a familiar DVD drive format at the user's computer that can be forwarded without modification to an archival repository.
