InfraStor Eyes Education Market With DataCore SANmelody Software

Inexpensive iSCSI Modular Storage Servers Get Good Grades with Schools

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (June 22, 2004) — DataCore Software, a leading independent software vendor specializing in storage control, management and consolidation, today announced that InfraStor Technologies, one of DataCore's key SANvantage^SM authorized partners, is adding SANmelody™ Disk Server storage solutions to their portfolio of products and services. InfraStor sees an especially good fit for the software in educational institutions where budgets are tight and opportunities for infrastructure overhaul are minimal.

"At the K-12 level and at universities, administrators struggle to balance tight budgets with the need for more capacity, better availability and increased storage connectivity. As course work goes digital and wireless computing takes over campuses, the pressure to simplify storage management increases," said David MacRae, president, InfraStor Technologies. "In addition, many university research departments require high sustained performance and reliability. SANmelody gives educational IT administrators a flexible, affordable way to satisfy these diverse capacity and performance demands, while leveraging their Ethernet LAN for convenient iSCSI storage access."

The SANmelody solution has the added advantage that it operates on the same type of Intel-based PC servers used widely throughout campuses, enabling these institutions to leverage their educational discounts, bulk purchase plans and existing skill sets to proficiently deploy comprehensive storage services with a very reasonable investment.

DataCore has already demonstrated a number of successes with their software at educational institutions including Daytona Beach Community College, Oxford University, Stanford University, University of Manchester, Vancouver School Board and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

"We value InfraStor's long-standing partnership with DataCore and their proven ability to deploy targeted, value-driven solutions for customers," said Carlos Carreras, vice president of sales and worldwide business development for DataCore. "The opportunities that InfraStor has already identified to benefit educational institutions - from local high schools to nationally recognized universities -- are tremendous."
