DataCore Announces Worldwide Agreement with MTI

SANsymphony enhances MTI's network storage solutions with advanced automation and volume management capabilities plus cost-effective remote site IP business continuance

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., and ANAHEIM, Calif. (March 15, 2002) — DataCore Software, the leading provider of storage virtualization and networking software, today announced MTI Technology Corp. will resell DataCore's SANsymphony™ storage networking platform on a worldwide basis. MTI, a premier provider of enterprise storage solutions for more than 20 years, joins the list of prestigious storage suppliers that have chosen to build value upon the DataCore platform. MTI will deliver SANsymphony software through its direct sales and reseller network as a complement to its Vivant™ systems and network storage offerings.

"We're expanding our relationship with DataCore because of our customers' increasing demand for storage management solutions that provide bulletproof business continuity and cost-reducing automated management capabilities across IP and Fibre Channel storage networks," said MTI COO, Paul Emery. "What really aided our decision were the advanced features DataCore rolled out in January with their 5.0 release of SANsymphony. DataCore adds an important value proposition that, in combination with MTI's storage solutions, provides significant savings and productivity to our global customer base."

SANsymphony 5.0 features breakthroughs in storage network manageability through automation, robust business recovery options, performance acceleration, easy-to-use administrative interfaces and the industry's broadest range of wire-agnostic connectivity. Enterprise-wide and remote IP-connected storage users and existing SANs can be fully integrated utilizing SANsymphony's automated centralized services and discovery capabilities. SANsymphony's advanced network volume management capabilities replace much of the manual intervention and disruption that cripples business operations and overwhelms administrative personnel today. Such built-in intelligence and automation ensures that servers, storage and employees are fully utilized, where previously there was a significant waste of time, money and effort.

"Storage consumers are increasingly struggling with their ability to unify the management of their growing number of storage applications and assets. This challenge requires a storage platform which provides an integrated set of storage services that customers can leverage," said George Teixeira, CEO of DataCore Software. "MTI's selection of DataCore to provide these services to its users further accelerates our goal of providing customers with trusted channels through which to purchase our product and enhances SANsymphony as the de facto software standard in this market."
