Canadian Data Mining Leader Strikes Gold With Nexsan InfiniSAN ATAboy2 Storage Arrays

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., March 4, 2003 - Data mining and CRM data modeling and analysis are some of the most storage-intensive applications used by today's IT enterprises. When Generation 5, the developer of the largest consumer information database system in Canada, needed to expand its storage capacity, the company turned to Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative storage solutions.

Toronto-based Generation 5 is Canada's leading developer of data mining and analytical CRM solutions and is helping clients achieve and sustain a competitive advantage in the arena of data-centric consumer marketing. The company has built its leadership reputation by leveraging its demonstrated expertise in automated data mining, database production, automated analytics and desktop analytics with its proprietary Mathematical Technologies(TM), applied mathematics algorithms that revolutionize market analytics in terms of accuracy, detail and speed. Mathematical Technologies enable Generation 5 to transform raw data into detailed consumer insights and actionable customer intelligence.

Generation 5's market-leading technology has produced explosive growth in the past two years, with the company now servicing more than 70 national and international customers and relocating to larger quarters. That success has also fueled a demand for vastly larger data storage capabilities. To service that growth, Generation 5 turned to Sunstar Company, a Southern California storage reseller that recommended Nexsan's InfiniSAN(TM) ATAboy2(TM) cost- correct storage arrays. To date, Generation 5 has installed 8 terabytes of the Nexsan ATAboy2 product.

According to Donna Richter, Senior Account Executive at Sunstar, Nexsan's ATAboy2 array technology provided Generation 5 with the optimal package of affordability, capacity and performance to handle the high transaction processing loads and massive data sets used by Generation 5 for data analysis.

"Nexsan products have proven their value and bulletproof reliability with other Sunstar customers so we enthusiastically recommended the ATAboy2 as the ideal solution for Generation 5," said Richter. "No other product on the market can offer a similar level of value, enterprise features and capacity."

"Our storage requirements are pretty straightforward. We needed multiple terabytes of cost-effective capacity. Sunstar and Nexsan delivered exactly what we needed," said Ariel Buk, Director, IT at Generation 5. "Our business is all about helping our clients improve customer relationships and our relationships, so our storage infrastructure is critically important to this business. The ATAboy2 arrays have performed flawlessly."
