Nexsan Named One Of 'Companies To Watch' In 2004 By Network Computing Magazine

Among Short List of Vendors Included in Storage & Servers Section of Survivor's Guide to 2004

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., January 21, 2004 - Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative storage solutions, was one of seven vendors named to Network Computing's "Companies to Watch" list in the Storage & Servers section of its Survivor's Guide to 2004, joining EMC, Intel and Veritas, among others. The article appeared in the publication's December 16 issue.

Nexsan is singled out for its delivery of cost-correct ATA arrays, a technology that associate technology editor Steven J. Schuchart Jr. says is "is surging into the mainstream for both near-line purposes and nontransactional storage." Schuchart points out that with storage prices falling, smaller companies are now able to implement ATA-based storage networking and enjoy benefits that previously had only been afforded to the largest organizations.

"Companies of all sizes are turning towards ATA-based solutions to meet their networking storage needs at an affordable price," said Brendan Kinkade, Vice President of Marketing at Nexsan. "Our entire line if InfiniSANT ATA disk-based systems provide the network storage capabilities needed at small and medium businesses through large enterprises. 2004 promises to be a banner year for Nexsan and we should more than justify being named as a company to watch by Network Computing."

Nexsan's InfiniSAN line of disk-based Storage Solutions delivers the latest in form and function now. Among the company's award-winning product line is the ATAbabyT, which utilizes the latest advancements in ATA technology to help expand storage capacity, improve business continuance and increase ROI; the ATAboyT, which provides "Next Generation" performance, reliability and high data availability for the most demanding storage and data-delivery applications; and the ATABeastT, the first true online disk-based tape library replacement that delivers industry-leading features with unparalleled density and security at a TCO less than tape.
