Nestor Combines DataCore IP SAN Software and Microsoft NAS into SMB Storage Systems

Leading System Builder Shipping Feature Rich SANmelody iSCSI Disk Server Appliances and SAN/NAS Solutions

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (February 21, 2005) — DataCore Software, today announced that system builder Nestor Corporation is building and shipping SANmelody™ Disk Server based appliances and complete systems that enable users to experience the productivity and cost saving benefits of storage networking. One of the key market segments targeted will be the cost-sensitive small to medium business (SMB) sector that is now able to take advantage of low-cost Ethernet/LAN connectivity to improve storage management and utilization. After extensive testing, SANmelody™ software was selected for its ease of use and price performance advantages - SANmelody recently set the price performance mark for disk subsystems and iSCSI in the Storage Performance Council's rigorous SPC-1 Benchmark™. Nestor decided to incorporate DataCore's disk server software technology as well as NAS file serving capabilities from Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 into its product portfolio to address performance and enhance consolidation. In addition, SANmelody added the necessary flexibility and functionality to produce a range of solutions to address disk-to-disk backup, disaster recovery, auto-provisioning, replication and capacity expansion over SANs and LANs.

Nelson Sim, Managing Director of Nestor Corporation states, "Storage demand is significantly increasing because of growing e-mail traffic, multimedia applications and Internet expansion. Further, data availability severely impacts not just the large enterprises, but small and medium sized companies who typically do not have the large IT budgets to put in place disaster recovery solutions. Nestor's MIPS-200 and TORINO-200 SAN/NAS appliances will allow these companies to manage storage growth effectively and put in place enterprise class disaster recovery solutions at much lower price points."

KG Tay, Technical Director of Nestor Corporation adds, "In Nestor Corporation, we simplify storage solutions without compromise".

DataCore's disk server software has also opened up many new opportunities for Nestor Corporation to provide a wider range of solutions and services including system consulting, design, implementation, non-disruptive capacity upgrades and support – enabling users to gain value beyond the hardware – users can choose appliances or get fully integrated systems which combine both products and services.

Peter Thompson, managing director APAC of DataCore, comments, "Nestor Corporation has built a hybrid SAN/NAS appliance that radically simplifies IT environments in the SMB sector. The cost performance of this integrated solution is truly groundbreaking."

Nestor Corporation has already shipped and revenued its first system sales.
