DataCore Software Adds Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc. as a SANsymphony™ Value-Added Reseller

New Channel Partnership Expands DataCore's Customer Reach

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. and SAN ANTONIO (September 30, 2003) — DataCore Software, a leading provider of enterprise-class, open-storage networking software, today announced that Sirius Computer Solutions has joined DataCore's select group of SANvantage^SM authorized VAR partners. With offices nationwide and two decades of experience, Sirius has amassed significant expertise at helping customers design, implement and maintain IT infrastructures that tap the industry's most valuable technologies.

"E-business is being driven by increasing demand for storage capacity, performance, cost-reductions and functionality. DataCore helps us meet our goal to be the leading provider of advanced infrastructure solutions by extending our offerings to include critical network-based storage management," said Chris Mierzwa, director of open systems and storage at Sirius. "The addition of DataCore's SANsymphony to our portfolio gives us a comprehensive software approach to better meet the growing needs of our customers."

In today's fast-paced and information-driven marketplace, storage demands are growing, and with it, the challenge of managing storage resources. Combined with the trend to efficiently utilize and consolidate computing resources, these demands are making it more difficult for IT management to maintain and protect an organization's most critical asset -- its data. To alleviate these pressures, Sirius is partnering with vendors like DataCore to deliver the best-possible storage area network (SAN) technology to its customers.

SANsymphony™ software manages all available storage from a consolidated storage pool, automating centralized services, providing uniform management across diverse storage resources and delivering substantially faster performance than stand alone disk arrays. With storage virtualization, excess storage capacity can now be auto-provisioned by applications as needed, and thus, critical servers get the required storage bandwidth during peak times.

"Sirius' proven ability to deliver innovative infrastructure solutions, coupled with DataCore's technology leadership, creates a formidable partnership that provides immediate value to enterprise customers," said Kimberly French, director of business and channel development for DataCore. "Together, we equip customers with the tools to maximize asset utilization and generate significant ROI."

SANvantage is a comprehensive set of programs that empowers DataCore's partners to develop, integrate, promote and sell solutions using SANsymphony software. DataCore is strongly committed to establishing partner relationships with select OEMs, resellers, system integrators and developers to deliver best-of-breed network storage management solutions to customers.
