XPEDX Selects Nexsan Technologies to Supply Network Storage Component of New Pre-press Solution

September 6, 2001 --Woodland Hills, CA--Nexsan Technologies today announced that it has reached a major OEM agreement to supply its InfiniSANT scalable enterprise storage solutions to xpedx, a $7 billion subsidiary of International Paper and one of the world's largest resellers of graphics imaging solutions.
