Interphase Joins DataCore's SANvantage Technical Partner Program

SAN Users to Benefit from Interoperable, Open System Network Partnerships

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. and DALLAS, Texas, - (May 14, 2001) - DataCore™ Software Corporation, the leading provider of storage virtualization and networking software, today announced that Interphase Corporation (Nasdaq: INPH), an international supplier of next-generation networking technologies, has joined its SANvantage™ Technical Partner Program. The SANvantage Technical Partner Program is designed to bring together industry leaders who support delivering interoperable, open system storage area network (SAN) technology to joint customers. The program also allows DataCore to equip partners, like Interphase, with the tools, technical information, training and co-marketing support needed to successfully design and deploy 'Powered by DataCore' solutions to customers.

"Joining DataCore's Technical Partnership Program gives us more opportunities to deliver stronger total product offerings and tighten solution integration," said vice president and general manager of the Interphase Server I/O Products Group, David Helffrich. "We are committed to developing and maintaining strategic relationships with key storage networking leaders and delivering high-performance, highly reliable SAN products and services to meet the needs of our customers."

The Interphase PowerSAN™ family of Fibre Channel host bus adapters are currently being integrated for applications access to centrally managed network storage pools. The storage pools are controlled by DataCore's fault-tolerant SANsymphony™ virtualization storage software.

"Two significant features for any successful storage networking implementation are performance and reliability," said Ken Horner, vice president of marketing for DataCore Software. "The interoperability between DataCore's SANsymphony software and Interphase's PowerSAN line of host bus adapters assures customers receive these results from their storage environment."

In January 2001, DataCore joined Interphase's Diamond Developer partnership program, expanding both companies' ability to provide storage solutions for integrators, enterprise IT managers and network architects building connectivity solutions comprising multiple vendors of open systems equipment.
