Nexsan Technologies To Exhibit, Present At Storage World Conference 2003 Unveils Dual Controller ATAboy2

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., May 1, 2003 - Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative storage solutions, today announced its participation at the Storage World Conference 2003 at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, Calif., in Booth 509, May 5-7.

In addition to exhibiting its line of award-winning storage solutions, Diamond Lauffin, Senior Executive Vice President of Nexsan Technologies, will be a featured speaker on Track B's Roundtable No. 6, entitled "What are the Tradeoffs Between Disk and Tape Backup Solutions," May 6 at 3:30 p.m. Lauffin joins fellow storage network experts from Avamar, Imation, Quantum and Sony to discuss and examine the long-term role for disk and tape storage as a backup recovery solution.

"Not to tip my hand on what side of the topic I'll be speaking but I've got to reiterate that tape is a thing of the past while disk-based storage solutions, like the ones we design and build here at Nexsan, are how intelligent businesses backup today and into the future," said Lauffin. "It is sometimes beneficial to get a history lesson in how it used to be with tape before learning the better way with disk. Attendees from businesses faced with increasing storage growth and a mandate to reduce expenses should really benefit from our discussion."

Nexsan will unveil the latest in its award-winning storage solutions offerings, with the dual controller ATAboy2. InfiniSAN ATAboy2 storage array delivers the robust performance demanded by digital video, streaming media and other high-demand, throughput-intensive applications. Available with dual 2 Gbit Fibre Channel or Ultra160 SCSI controllers, the new ATAboy2 builds on the record-setting single controller performance of the Nexsan architecture to deliver sustained throughput of over 300 MB/sec at a cost of less than a half a cent per megabyte.
