ONSTOR STRENGTHENS UK PRESENCE WITH NEW HEAD OF OPERATIONS

London, UK, 3 rd November 2005 - ONStor Inc., the leader in Enterprise NAS Gateway solutions for multi-vendor storage, today announced the appointment of Gerald Sommariva to the position of Managing Director for the UK. Sommariva, an experienced IT sales professional with expertise in both the storage and networking industries, will be responsible to further develop ONStor’s presence throughout the country by working closely with the company’s current resellers and by recruiting new channel partners.

According to a recent survey by storage research house Coughlin Associates, managing growing capacity requirements is the main challenge for IT administrators, and this has been one of the key factors behind the increase in the number of organisations choosing NAS Gateways and virtualisation to address their storage needs. Sommariva will rely on ONStor’s existing partners and his extensive network of reseller contacts in the UK, Ireland and Europe to bring the Company’s technology to these end-users.

‘ONStor offers organisations a unique combination of benefits such as an open storage architecture that dramatically reduces capital costs and an easily scalable storage environment that quickly adapts to the changing business needs,’ said Gerald Sommariva, UK Managing Director at ONStor. ‘I am looking forward to expanding the Company’s presence in the UK through a healthy, strong channel and OEM strategy.’

‘Storage consolidation is a fast-growing trend worldwide and the UK is a key market for ONStor; Sommariva will be targeting a number of vertical market such as financial, government and retail to grow our marketshare and consolidate our relationships with the local channel partners,” said Jon Toor, Vice President of Marketing at ONStor.

ONStor NAS Gateways enable IT managers to consolidate storage from multiple Windows, Linux, and UNIX servers into a single, highly scalable environment and feature the first enterprise-class NAS architecture to seamlessly scale from 1 to 40,000 terabytes of capacity with no user disruption and no data migration.
