FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WORLD'S FASTEST OPEN NAS GATEWAY TO BE DEMONSTRATED AT STORAGE NETWORKING WORLD FALL 2005


LOS GATOS, CA. October 18, 2005 � ONStor, Inc., the leader in high-performance scalable NAS gateways for multi-vendor storage, will showcase its Bobcat NAS Gateway in the Interoperability & Solutions Demo lab and in booth C15 at Storage Networking World Fall 2005 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes Resort in Orlando, Florida October 24-27.

As the first enterprise-class NAS gateway to seamlessly scale from 1 terabyte to 40,000 terabytes of capacity, the ONStor Bobcat NAS Gateway integrates both storage and processor virtualization technologies in a modular fashion to non-disruptively scale performance and capacity well beyond competitive solutions from Network Appliance and EMC. By allowing companies to easily consolidate and simply manage data on multi-vendor storage as if the data was on one NAS device, Bobcat NAS Gateways deliver the optimal solution for enterprise storage consolidation in Windows, Linux and UNIX environments – delivering ease of use, on demand capacity and performance provisioning, and the ability to scale the NAS infrastructure without user interruption or user migration.

Performance and Cost Effectiveness Revealed
ONStor has demonstrated the fastest Open NAS gateway test score ever reported by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC®), doubling the fastest performance reported for Network Appliance’s open storage NAS gateway. With 128,236 SPECsfs® operations per second from a cluster of four ONStor 2260 Bobcats, ONStor’s NAS Gateway delivers a three-to-one price/performance advantage as compared to open NAS gateways from Network Appliance.*

With one-touch simplicity, integrated data protection and continuous scalability, Bobcat provides management features including performance provisioning functionality that enables transparent workload migration for load balancing, failover, or performance scaling. Using Bobcat’s vServer management tools, dozens of virtual servers can be created per appliance, any of which may be transparently migrated to other Bobcat NAS Gateways at any time.

Administrators can easily provision storage to simplify management and enhance storage utilization with AutoGrow, a capacity management tool that allows storage to automatically be provisioned to any Bobcat NAS Gateway from a single shared storage pool. Bobcat also includes DataSnap, a management tool that delivers enhanced data protection by creating point-in-time snapshot images that allow administrators to roll back in time to restore corrupted or deleted files.
