Logix Delivers and Promotes DataCore's Disk Server Solutions and Software Across Europe

Targets Thousands of Resellers to Add SANmelody to Product Portfolio

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (May 17, 2004) — DataCore Software, a leading independent software vendor specializing in storage control, management and consolidation, today announced that one of its largest European SANvantage^SM partners, Logix, is creating disk server solutions built upon SANmelody™ software from DataCore. The products are being promoted to the thousands of Logix resellers across Europe that target the small to medium sized business (SMB) market. This market needs solutions that simplify sharing disk drives across networks, require affordable iSCSI and IP storage area network (SAN) solutions and offer cost-effective disaster recovery solutions.

"SANmelody provides an attractive opportunity for our extensive reseller base that is used to selling networking infrastructures, PC systems and software solutions. The product is simple to use and installs in minutes, therefore many of our resellers who are not necessarily storage specialists can leverage their skills into storage solutions. Our Citrix partners, as an example, are very familiar with the concept of converting PC systems into terminal and presentation servers using Citrix software. The disk server approach enabled by DataCore works along the same lines -- it turns an ordinary PC into a disk server using SANmelody, opening up new VAR opportunities to participate and grow business selling storage solutions within the SMB market quickly and efficiently," said Pierre Clavel, director of international operations and business development for the Logix Group.

With SANmelody software prices starting just above $1,100, even small firms can take advantage of advanced storage systems. Logix is offering a free trial of the software and additional information on SANmelody software and solutions on their web sites:

"SANmelody disk servers offer resellers major advantages in selling storage solutions -- advanced storage functionality at low-cost, add-on sales to existing PC and LAN portfolio offerings and growth opportunities by offering the ability to easily share disk drive capacity over the LAN to new SMB users," said George Teixeira, CEO and president of DataCore. "Logix recognizes the need and has moved quickly to seize the market opportunity by utilizing its resources to make it simple for its network of resellers to add value by offering complete disk server system platforms and software solutions."
