INDUSTRY LEADERS TEAM UP TO PROVIDE UNIFIED iSCSI SAN/NAS STORAGE SOLUTION

Nexsan and RELDATA combo provides comprehensive feature set at attractive price point

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., August 28, 2006 - Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative and secure storage solutions, today announced that it has jointly developed a new unified IP SAN/NAS system with New Jersey-based RELDATA that offers comprehensive data protection while minimizing administrative and ownership costs of traditional IP SAN infrastructures.

The new product offering combines Nexsan's SATABoyT with the RELDATA 9200 IP Storage Gateway, resulting in a scalable, high-performance storage solution that easily unifies iSCSI-based SAN and NAS infrastructures and facilitates enterprise-wide data consolidation and replication - all at an unrivaled price/performance ratio. For the first time, Nexsan's award-winning disk-based storage system and RELDATA's open storage virtualization gateway provide organizations demanding large, distributed or rapidly growing file and block data volumes with an all-in-one, easy to use unified IP storage and replication solution.

"This one-of-a-kind unified IP SAN/NAS gateway and storage package provides users with the utmost in data protection, including data redundancy, data transfer and access security, controller failover and high availability of storage," said Boris Anderer, president and CEO of RELDATA. "It is ideal for those organizations that want a high-performance, open and reliable one-stop unified IP storage and replication system with the necessary functionality included, that is easy to use, and all of it available at an unrivaled price point."

"The combination of RELDATA's gateway, which offers all of its functionality without additional licensing costs tied to features, capacity or the number of users, and our SATABoy disk storage system, offers IT administrators an unbeatable and comprehensive solution without spending their entire storage budget," said Brendan Kinkade, Vice President of Marketing at Nexsan. "It makes shopping around for a unified IP storage solution rather irrelevant when users can simply come to us to satisfy all their needs."

The RELDATA IP Storage Gateway 9200 is an open storage virtualization system consolidating multi-vendor FC, SCSI and iSCSI storage resources and providing them as a high-performance unified IP SAN and NAS infrastructure with a comprehensive set of IP-based data replication features. The RELDATA Gateway eliminates the need to maintain disparate systems for block and file data, and enables building open unified IP storage systems with a tiered multi-vendor disk array and tape storage infrastructure, including virtualization of the existing FC SANs. Comprehensive, innovative IP-based data replication technology available on both block- and file-level facilitates an easy setup of multi-location replication, disaster recovery and site migration solutions at no extra cost.

Designed to meet the challenges of the most demanding computing environments, Nexsan's SATABoy delivers unparalleled availability and performance in a SATA RAID device. With sustained throughput speeds of up to 370 MB/s per controller, SATABoy provides superior performance across all standard platforms and operating systems. Dual 2Gb Fibre Channel connectors on each controller enable easy and flexible implementation into a wide range of environments. SATABoy's unique combination of high performance and enormous capacity provides exceptional value that enhances all digital information storage applications, such as live on-line data, fixed content, tiered storage, broadcast/VOD and other business-critical applications.

The new Nexsan/RELDATA product is available through both companies. For more information, contact Nexsan Technologies at 866-463-9726 or RELDATA at 973 644 2770 ext 111.
