RELDATA NAMED ONE OF ‘TOP 10 STORAGE STARTUPS TO WATCH’

Parsippany, N.J. – February 25, 2008 - RELDATA, the leading supplier of a new generation of consolidated and unified storage solutions, has been included in a list of the “Top 10 Startups to Watch” by storage networking website Byte and Switch in a February 21 article highlighting new firms around the world that are ‘the most watchable’. The decisions, according to Byte and Switch “were based on editorial decision making based on extensive reporting and talks with users, analysts and suppliers.”

“In a world where SAN and NAS vendors push their particular hardware, RELDATA stands out,” according to Byte and Switch. “While other vendors, including FalconStor, ONStor and Sanrad offer gear that pools and manages a range of backend storage resources, RELDATA’s packed a lot into a relatively small unit.”

RELDATA has enjoyed a year of record sales as a result of its technology innovations, such as its 9240 SAS/SATA Unified Storage System, which combines its 9240 Unified Storage Gateway with RELDATA SAS/SATA (Serial Attached SCSI /Serial ATA) disk storage, resulting in an integrated solution that provides unrivaled performance that matches the NetApp FAS 6070 at half the price.

The company also introduced its 10GbE 9240 Unified Storage Gateway/System, the first practical 10GbE SAN/NAS solution that isn’t burdened by the high cost, complexity, scalability and oppressive licensing requirements of conventional FC SAN implementations.

Then, to significantly improve the productivity of storage administrators, RELDATA recently introduced its Adaptive Storage Wizards™, which guides storage administrators through the day-to-day management of complex storage tasks.

“We are pleased to be recognized by Byte and Switch for our efforts in providing innovative technology that delivers unrivaled price/performance and industry-leading ease of use,” said David Hubbard, President and CEO of RELDATA. “We are committed to maintaining this record of innovation so that when Byte and Switch reviews its choices for the Top 10 spot, they rate themselves high on their RELDATA selection.”

Byte and Switch is an online publication and web portal that explores the storage networking market. It focuses on addressing the information needs of enterprise and service provider customers by covering storage networking from three unique angles: technology, finance, and people. The magazine covers how storage network technologies work for corporate IT buyers, but also reveals key storage networking investment opportunities, explains how service providers can make money from the technology, and gives credit to the movers and shakers who are making storage networking one of the most dynamic segments of the networking industry.
