Nexsan to Showcase Full Line of Innovative Storage Solutions at Comdex 2002

D2D Professional and ATABeast Among Products to be Unveiled; IBM to Show New Serial ATA Drives in Nexsan Booth

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative storage solutions, today announced that its full line of storage solutions, including its recently released next-generation disk-to-disk enterprise backup solution, InfiniSAN(TM) D2D Professional, and the ATABeast(TM), an ultra-high density disk array that delivers enterprise-class capabilities in a compact, cost-correct package, will be showcased at Comdex Fall 2002 in Booth 3126 of the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, November 18-22.

IBM (NYSE: IBM - News) will be joining Nexsan in its booth showing IBM's newest desktop drives, in current Parallel ATA interface and new Serial ATA prototype platforms. At 7200RPM and maximum capacity of 180GB, Deskstar 180GXP are the world's fastest desktop hard disk drives. Deskstar 180GXP performs nearly 25 percent faster than its predecessor and widens the Deskstar performance gap over competitors by up to 20 percent. IBM's latest desktop family offers market-leading performance including increased cache size (both 2MB and 8MB), enhanced data transfer rates and boot times, and significantly less power consumption than competitors.

Nexsan has implemented the IBM Deskstar line in its award-winning RAID storage systems since 1999. To date, Nexsan has shipped more than 10,000 Deskstar drives worldwide.

"Comdex has proven to be a perfect venue for the unveiling and showcasing of new and exciting storage technologies like our recently announced ATABeast and D2D Pro, as well as IBM's new Deskstar drives," said Brendan Kinkade, Nexsan's Vice President of Marketing. "To have the opportunity to share with the IT and reseller communities the latest in new technologies and cost-correct alternatives is what Comdex is all about. Nexsan's booth is one not to be missed."

Nexsan's D2D Professional combines cost-correct RAID storage arrays with advanced storage management software to deliver a broad range of data protection capabilities and customer benefits that are simply not available with conventional tape-based backup architectures or other D2D solutions. D2D Professional allows network administrators to seamlessly protect not only databases but all computers across the network, providing a superior solution that lets them protect corporate-critical data across multiple operating systems and restore it at both a speed and price that beats tape hands down.

Likewise, the unprecedented value of the ATABeast is the result of Nexsan engineers combining cost-correct ATA hard drives in an architecture that delivers enterprise-class features, performance and fault tolerance. Up to 42 ATA drives can be active simultaneously, generating high IOPS performance. That performance potential is maximized and protected with a fully redundant architecture featuring dual RAID controllers, each configured with dual high-performance 2 GB Fibre Channel host ports, or dual Ultra 160 SCSI host ports.
