Zetera's Z-SAN Technology Fuels NETGEAR's New Storage Central Turbo.

NETGEAR Expands Successful Storage Product Line Based on First True SoIP Solution Available

IRVINE, Calif. -- Zetera Corporation, a developer of breakthrough network storage technology, today announced that its Z-SAN technology has been again selected by NETGEAR, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTGR) as the foundation for its new high-performance, affordable networked storage solution. Announced this week at CES 2007, NETGEAR's Storage Central Turbo (SC101T) is the industry's most versatile networked storage solution designed for the sharable data backup and storage needs of consumers and small businesses. (Please refer to NETGEAR's news release dated January 7, 2007 or visit http://netgear.com).

SC101T extends NETGEAR's already highly successful storage product line, Storage Central (SC101), also based on Z-SAN technology, which began shipping in September 2005.

The SC101T is a future-proof storage solution that enables users to expand storage capacity indefinitely by upgrading to larger SATA hard drives or even by adding additional SC101T devices to the network. Complete with advanced backup and synchronization software to protect against data loss, network storage appears as a letter drive on networked PCs enabling users to access files on the SC101T as easily and intuitively as from a local disk drive.

"Two years ago at CES, NETGEAR first announced its partnership with Zetera," noted Chuck Cortright, Zetera's CEO. "With the announcement of a second product based on our Z-SAN technology, we are extremely proud that they are choosing to extend our successful relationship and we view NETGEAR as a true visionary in the field of network storage for both consumers and small businesses."

"Z-SAN technology is gaining significant market acceptance, with over 150,000 SAN devices based on Zetera technology shipped worldwide to date. The clear advantages of SoIP are being delivered by NETGEAR in their SC101 and SC101T products. Since announcing its innovative Z-SAN technology at CES in January 2005, Zetera technology has been acknowledged throughout the storage industry as the first to deliver a true SoIP architecture by using Internet Protocol (IP) itself as the storage fabric. According to David Reinsel, IDC's program director, storage research, "Zetera's innovative storage architecture appears to simultaneously optimize all four critical success factors - performance, cost, reliability and scalability."

"Zetera is the ideal partner for NETGEAR, as they bring true storage innovation that we can leverage in our products as we continue to strengthen our focus on storage. Zetera's SoIP-based Z-SAN technology enables us to offer centralized storage solutions that are expandable, fast, affordable and simple enough for the digital home," commented Patrick Lo, NETGEAR's chairman and CEO. "We look forward to this expansion of our already fruitful partnership."

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.

Easy to setup, install and share, users simply insert one or two 3.5-inch SATA drives of any capacity from any vendor (sold separately) into Storage Central Turbo, connect it to any router or switch, and Smart Wizard([R]) takes care of the configuration. Storage Central Turbo functions like a local disk drive making it easy and intuitive for family members to locate and access important files.

Storage Central Turbo protects data by utilizing advanced backup and synchronization software to mirror data on two separate hard drives. Storage Central Turbo, which enables users to password protect each logical drive to optimize privacy, incorporates a Gigabit Ethernet interface to maximize data transfer speeds.
