DataCore SANsymphony™ Software Wins Windows & .NET Magazine Readers' Choice Award

'Best Storage Management Tool' Sets Industry Standard for Open Storage Networking

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Sept. 26, 2002) — DataCore Software, a leading provider of enterprise-class, open storage networking software, today announced that its SANsymphony storage networking platform has been named the 'Best Storage Management Tool' by the readers of Windows & .NET Magazine in the September 15 issue. The Readers' Choice award is DataCore's 11th award win since first shipping its SANsymphony software more than two years ago.

"We know that peer recommendations are important to our readership," said Dave Bernard, custom media editorial director, Windows & .NET Magazine. "The first annual Windows & .NET Magazine Readers' Choice Awards were developed as a way for readers to choose and recommend the best technology products in the industry. Receiving this award is an industry seal of approval."

More than 2,300 readers voted on their product preferences on nearly 90 technology products in 16 broad technology categories.

"Few people know more about the best values in Windows technology products and services than Windows & .NET Magazine readers - the people who actually do the buying. By voting for the most outstanding products, IT professionals have rewarded excellence in the Windows market," said Janet Robbins, editor-in-chief, Windows & .NET Magazine.

SANsymphony software helps companies easily and cost-effectively manage data storage capacity growth by pooling individual mixed storage arrays into a highly scalable, centrally administered, fault-tolerant storage area network (SAN). The enterprise-class software delivers a near-immediate return on investment by extending the value of existing storage resources and incorporating emerging technologies to non-disruptively add capacity - from any supplier - when needed. SANsymphony software offers robust data protection with complete redundancy and automated capacity allocation, freeing system administrators from time-consuming storage maintenance.

"We are honored to be recognized by such a savvy group of IT experts who actually install and use the product," said Ken Horner, vice president of marketing for DataCore. "By selecting SANsymphony as the best storage management tool in the industry, the readers of Windows & .NET Magazine are voicing their satisfaction not only with our innovative open networking products but with our worldwide services and support organization."
