DataCore Software Recognized As Hot Company

Storage Virtualization Leader Continues to Win Accolades with Industry's First Totally Open Storage Management Solution

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Jan. 9, 2001) - DataCore Software Corporation, a leader in storage virtualization, has been named as one of the "Top 50 Companies to Watch" by DigitalSouth magazine. The list is an annual look at hot companies in the Southeast and recognizes organizations well-positioned to gain market dominance. DataCore is one of only four companies to be named to the list for the second consecutive year.

"This award reflects the significant leadership we have gained in the storage virtualization market," said George Teixeira, president and CEO of DataCore. "Companies worldwide have gained significant cost savings and improved the way they manage their storage assets using our SAN virtualization software. We are very pleased with the market acceptance and for being recognized with this honor by DigitalSouth."

As a leading storage virtualization solution, DataCore's SANsymphony ™ lets IT professionals easily manage the exploding demand for increased data storage. The first solution of its kind, SANsymphony has taken the enterprise storage market by storm by giving users the ability to use all existing storage assets - regardless of hardware platform - whenever or wherever its needed. SANsymphony is the only SAN management software that is truly 'vendor-agnostic.' It works across the spectrum of storage and computer systems, protecting companies' multi-million dollar investments in IT storage architectures while giving them a growth path to meet their needs for rapid storage expansion.

The company has nine offices in North America, Europe and Asia and employs more than 170 people worldwide. DataCore works with some of the biggest names in financial services, consumer goods and entertainment, including Chase Manhattan Private Global Banking, Thirteen/WNET and The Dannon Company.

DataCore has been recognized with two other awards this year: Computer Technology Review's 'Editor's Choice' award, and as one of Computerworld's 'Top 100 Emerging Companies to Watch.'

DigitalSouth's editors selected the winners from nearly 500 nominees, based on the caliber of each firm's performance, management team, product or service, market expectations, competitors and investors, as well as the amount of capital each company has raised.
