Choiceway Technologies to Deliver New IP Storage Products Based on Zetera's Z-SAN(R) SoIP Technology.

Introduction of Vicount Brand Marks Zetera's Entry into High-Growth China Market

IRVINE, Calif. & BEIJING -- Choiceway Technologies Co. Ltd., a leading Chinese IT solution provider and distributor, and Zetera Corporation, a developer of breakthrough network storage technology, today announced a partnership to deliver a broad and differentiated family of networked storage solutions utilizing Zetera's patented Z-SAN[R] Storage-over-IP (SoIP) technology. Choiceway will distribute the new family of network storage solutions, targeting industrial, surveillance, mapping and government sectors within the Chinese market. The new Choiceway storage products will be sold under the brand name Vicount and are available for immediate shipment.

"Choiceway has built its reputation by delivering effective solutions through strong partnerships, and we're very happy to be working closely with them to enter the China market," said Chuck Cortright, president and CEO of Zetera. "Our Z-SAN technology is a great fit for the rapidly growing storage demands of Choiceway's customers, enabling them to enjoy better performing, more scalable and easier-to-use networked storage at more affordable price points."

Unlike other storage architectures, Z-SAN technology simultaneously optimizes the four fundamental factors that drive the success of a network storage system - scalability, performance, reliability and cost. Z-SAN technology offers network storage that is simple enough to be configured and managed by non-technical users and cuts costs by eliminating expensive hardware.

"Choiceway has become a leader in China by focusing on high-quality products with unprecedented performance for distribution through a strong partner channel," said Xiao Fei Peng, Vicount product director for Choiceway. "Our partnership with Zetera provides a unique opportunity for us to introduce and build our Vicount brand with solutions that perform better and are more affordable for our customers."

Products based on Z-SAN technology are simple to install, configure and manage. In addition, they offer full virtualization, delivering storage and data sharing across multiple devices in different locations, without the burden of complex and expensive virtualization software. Zetera-enabled storage can reside anywhere on the network, making it available to be shared, spanned with other network storage, or mirrored to any location.

Zetera's entry into China comes on the heels of a strong 2006 marked several significant milestones in the adoption of Z-SAN, as evidenced by the recent announcement that more than 100,000 SAN devices based on Zetera technology have shipped worldwide since their debut in September 2005; as well as the building of a 1.4 petabyte storage array for a research project at MIT which uses the same low cost Z-SAN enclosures that are being sold to the SMB market.
