Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

A domain name called ADVANCEDMICRODEVICES.COM was registered last week but it is unclear whether AMD itself has taken out the name. Ten days ago, we reported that AMD had registered the name Advanced Micro Devices as a trademark. That is trademark no 75-659234, with the application taken out on the 12th of March last.

We are still waiting to see what AMD does with its domain name ALEREON.COM, which we have confirmation is definitely one of theirs.
