New Repair and Integration Facility in Hong Kong Makes First Shipments

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Pinnacle Data Systems, Inc. (PDSi) (AMEX:PNS) today announced the formation of PDSi (Asia) and the commencement of operations in its new repair and integration service hub in Hong Kong with partner E.C. Fix Technologies.

The new operation is an integral addition to PDSi's repair and integration capabilities to serve its global original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and independent software vendor (ISV) customer base in Asia. E.C. Fix Technologies is a premier support solution provider of IT and related products for Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China. This international expansion leverages PDSi local business relationships and expertise, is consistent with PDSi's strategic growth objectives, and is managed and marketed out of PDSi's existing regional office in Singapore.

Michael R. Sayre, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "PDSi (Asia) offers comprehensive support services for our global customers operating in the Asia Pacific region. We have shipped to and supported customers in this region from the United States for many years. Our new 8,000 square foot facility in Hong Kong currently provides system level repair for a major global telecommunications customer. Computer board level repair and system and rack level integration capabilities are also being established. The physical presence of PDSi facilities and people in this region coupled with strong working relationships with high quality service providers increases our potential to be a strategic partner for more customers in the Asia Pacific region. PDSi (Asia) provides customers with advantages that include lower cost, increased time zone coverage and faster response to repair needs. These capabilities are also expected to specifically increase the market for our Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect (cPCI) and Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) platforms as well as our computer OEM partners' platforms with customization and integration services built around them."
