INFOWORLD LAUDS NEXSAN'S INFINISAN D2D

Disk Technology Praised for Delivering Unrivaled Price/Performance, Recognized as Superior Alternative to Tape

Woodland Hills, Calif., November 19, 2001 - Nexsan Technologies, a technology leader in enterprise storage solutions, earned InfoWorld's top 'Deploy' rating for its InfiniSAN disk-to-disk (D2D) storage solution in a feature entitled "InfiniSAN cuts the tape" in the November 12 issue.

"Compared to tape solutions, Nexsan's disk-based backup solution reduces backup-related administrative costs and business interruptions. InfiniSAN provides the cost benefits of ATA disk technology and integrates easily with existing SCSI and Fibre Channel environments," wrote InfoWorld reviewer Mario Apicella.

Apicella praised InfiniSAN D2D for its ease of use and implementation, good administrative features, excellent backup features, good scalability and interoperability. He also noted that InfiniSAN promises targeted backups driven by unattended schedules, fast and reliable data restores, extremely contained costs, and provides the cost benefits of ATA disk technology.

"Receiving these top marks from such a well respected publication and testing center as InfoWorld confirms our position as both an innovator and
leader in enterprise storage," said Diamond Lauffin, Nexsan's executive vice president. "We believe the InfiniSAN D2D is the best product in its class, delivering exceptional value and performance at an unrivaled cost."

Nexsan's InfiniSAN D2D, which was named "Best Enterprise Storage" at the annual Best of COMDEX Awards last week, has set new industry standards by providing a lower cost-per-megabyte alternative to tape for data backup. Nexsan is able to provide the complete D2D solution through the combination of correct-cost hard disk-based, high-availability RAID implemented hardware and a full-feature backup application.

InfiniSAN D2D backup systems scale from 160 GB to multi-petabytes for environments ranging from entry-level to the most demanding mid-range and enterprise-class applications. The Nexsan-designed GUI interface, NexScanT, provides the latest in web-based, centralized management and monitoring features. Tele-GuardT, Nexsan's phone home manager, configures operator-selectable parameters, enabling pre-emptive degradation monitoring for all system conditions. The full-featured D2D backup system provides high reliability and exceptional data availability for as low as 1.7 cents per megabyte. Nexsan eliminates the need to perform selective backup by providing faster backups and instant on-line data recovery.
