About DriveHQ Based in the Silicon Valley, DriveHQ is: • One of the first few companies offering Cloud Storage & Cloud IT Solution; • Over one million customers all over the world and across many industries. • 10s of thousands of business customers, incl. some very large companies. (see http://www.drivehq.com/about/testimonials.aspx) • Technology and service oriented (compares to marketing oriented); focus on creating real value than hype.

Why DriveHQ Cloud IT Service? • Businesses need File Server, FTP Server, Email Server, Data Backup System, Sharing & Collaboration System; (i.e. Basic IT Infrastructure) • DriveHQ Cloud IT Solution can replace these servers and systems, saving cost on hardware, software, hosting and maintenance; • No changes to your existing software; no need to re-train your employees; • DriveHQ extends your software applications to the cloud without changing your software; • More secure and reliable than your local systems; • High-end data center; professionally managed service; • Works anywhere. • You and your team can access the cloud service from home, office, hotel or friend’s home. You can also share a folder to a remote client and set a permission.

Why DriveHQ Service is different? • Compared with Google: • Google tries to replace desktop software with Online Applications. However, many applications cannot be moved online or not available online. Also, online applications are usually not as good as the Desktop versions, and can only be used when online. • DriveHQ cloud IT service can extend any desktop software to the cloud. Users can continue using their familiar client software and still enjoy all cloud service benefits. • Compared with Amazon: • Amazon offers Cloud-based raw storage and computing power. It is like moving local servers and storage to the cloud without applications. To a small business, it can create more difficulty in managing these resources online. • DriveHQ offers cloud IT service that can replace the basic IT infrastructure for a small business. DriveHQ service includes all necessary client software, web-based applications and administrative tools. Small businesses not only can save cost on hardware / software, but also can save IT efforts.

Why DriveHQ Service is different? (2) • Compared with Companies Offering “Unlimited” Backup: • Those companies are focused on Online Backup (or cheap raw storage space); • Their consumer services focus on “low cost” and “easy”; and are limited to one PC; • "Unlimited" backup is only a marketing hype, not a long term viable business model: • Consumers may upload many large video files as the broadband speed gets faster and faster. • The storage and the associated bandwidth and human cost can become very high. • For about the same features, their business backup (or Pro) services are much more expensive, which makes it hard to compete with their own consumer services. • DriveHQ: • DriveHQ focuses on Complete Cloud IT Solution instead of just online storage or backup service which is a low-margin commodity business now; • DriveHQ focuses on creating value and saving cost for businesses; • Instead of competing on storage price, DriveHQ competes on features, services and applications; • DriveHQ offers far more & better features at a very competitive price for businesses;

Your service prices can be lower than DriveHQ prices. • If you have a big customer base or if you have a big sales channel and if you want to add more value to your services / products; e.g. if you are a software or digital device vendor, you can bundle DriveHQ software / services.

In this case, you can choose our co-branded (or DriveHQ branded) service reseller model. • If Cloud Storage & Cloud IT Service is strategic to your business and if you are prepared to spend big money to market the service and acquire new users, you might want to choose the White Label Service Reseller Program. Without a strong commitment to market your own brand name, using DriveHQ brand will help you sell more.
