DataCore Enters New Strategic Agreement with Fujitsu Softek

Fujitsu Softek Standardizes on DataCore's Storage Virtualization Engine

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (February 21, 2002) — DataCore Software, the leading provider of storage virtualization and networking software, today announced the Company has entered an agreement with Fujitsu Softek where Fujitsu Softek will license DataCore's storage virtualization engine. This agreement provides additional options for customers looking at purchasing DataCore's technology from their partner of preference and solidifies DataCore's position as the defacto standard in storage virtualization and networking software. In addition to this strategic agreement with Fujitsu Softek, DataCore has relationships and agreements with HP, IBM and others.

"This agreement represents a major endorsement for DataCore and our position as the unquestioned leader in storage virtualization technology. Today's agreement furthers our ability to offer SAN customers, through multiple suppliers, the defacto platform for storage virtualization," said Ziya Aral, chairman of DataCore Software. "Fujitsu Softek has the vision to incorporate and adapt our virtualization technology to extend its capabilities in areas that complement our core competencies and to simplify and optimize multi-vendor storage infrastructures."

Fujitsu Softek is building on the core technology of DataCore's virtualization engine for integration with its suite of storage management software solutions. By leveraging DataCore's virtualization technology, Fujitsu Softek is able to differentiate its suite of virtualization-enabled applications. Customers can now take advantage of centralized, policy-based, automated storage management in and out of the SAN across operating systems and hardware platforms.

"Virtualization has emerged as a key component of Fujitsu Softek's storage management suite and a required feature for Global 3000 companies as they begin to deploy SAN technology," said Fujitsu Softek President and Chief Executive Officer Steven F.X. Murphy. "After researching and reviewing the technologies available in the marketplace today, the only choice for Fujitsu Softek was DataCore Software. Its virtualization platform is the most mature, feature rich and highest performance available."
