NEXSAN'S ASSUREON WINS EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD FROM COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY REVIEW

World's first secure storage appliance touted for its simplicity, functionality

WOODLAND HILLS , Calif. , October 11, 2005 - Nexsan Technologies , the leader in innovative storage solutions, received the highly coveted Editor's Choice award from Computer Technology Review , awarded for its AssureonT integrated secure storage appliance designed to store, manage, protect, dispose and provide fast, easy access to fixed content and reference data in a cost-effective manner.

In the article entitled "Nexsan Assureon Appliance Solves Security, Business Continuity and Compliance Issues," which appears in the publication's August/September 2005 issue, Editor in Chief Dan Murphy praises the solution's simplicity in conjunction with capabilities of data protection, archiving, access and deletion over the information's lifecycle.

"Nexsan has kept the simplicity of the appliance model, but has crammed a variety of capabilities into a single, scalable, easy-to-administer storage solution," said Murphy. "Nexsan announced the Assureon as a storage security appliance, but it is much more than that. Designed as a secondary storage repository for fixed-content data, Assureon is a security, ILM, business continuity and regulatory compliance solution."

The review highlighted the Assureon for its ability to scale performance and capacity independently, ensure optimal data security and integrity though the assignment of unique encryption keys, and implement business continuity with a cost-effective method of mirrored storage combined with remote replication.

"We feel that we have introduced in the Assureon a truly innovative storage security and compliance solution and this feeling is further vindicated after receiving this award from Computer Technology Review , a highly respected industry publication, so soon after announcing it to the world," said Brendan Kinkade , Vic e President of Mark eting at Nexsan. "With extensive built-in data security measures, fully featured lifecycle management and a significant TCO savings, the Assureon is well-positioned as a total solution for companies looking to safely store their fixed content information without the cost and complexity inherent in other products on the market today."
