iStor Networks, Inc(R) Announces UK Distribution Agreement with aXstor UK in Launching 10GbE iSCSI Solutions at Storage Expo in London.

IRVINE, Calif. -- iStor Networks, a leading technology provider for iSCSI networked storage, is pleased to announce their partnership with aXstor, a UK based master Distributor of integrated storage solutions at the 2006 Storage Expo in London with their flagship product, GigaStorATX.[TM]

"We specialize in 'Best of Class' products thus partnering with iStor because the feature set and performance of the product is cutting edge within the storage industry. We have found that customers now consider iSCSI a viable alternative to FC and it is emerging rapidly within companies of all sizes. We feel that iStor Networks will enable OEMs and VARs to aid small and medium-sized businesses with its high performance, cost effective iSCSI storage solutions," said Alan Shepherd, Managing Director of aXstor.

"Resellers will further benefit from iStor's all-in-one GigaStorATX solution that replaces iSCSI implementations provided by competitors which generally use two or more iSCSI/TOE/Network chips, two Intel Xeon processors, a 3-chip processor chipset, and two SATA RAID controllers thus improving performance, reliability and cost effectiveness," said Simon Huang, CEO of iStor Networks, Inc.

Based on iStor's award winning GigaStorATX technology, aXstor will demonstrate its integrated iSCSI products, the aXstor Ai.

The aXstor Ai product highlights at the show include:

1.  The iStor inAbled aXstor Ai iSCSI-SATA Storage Subsystem replaces
    parallel SCSI in DAS and NAS environments and supplements or
    replaces FC in SAN environments.
2.  aXstor's implementation of GigaStorATX provides a Highly
    Integrated 1GbE and 10GbE iSCSI Storage Subsystem, eliminating the
    need for Server or Mother-Board technology. The GigaStorATX iSCSI
    Controller provides a full storage-virtualization firmware stack
    and SMI-S compliant management suite.
3.  The iStor inAbled aXstor Ai iSCSI Storage Subsystem enables
    storage system suppliers the opportunity to create block-based,
    cost-effective, high performance RAID storage solutions. With
    iSCSI SAN implementations based on GigaStorATX technology, NAS
    providers may scale up computing power, storage performance and
    capacity on demand separately.
4.  GigaStorATX provides best in class performance; 1,160MB/sec cache
    read performance.

The 1GbE and 10GbE aXstor iSCSI Storage Subsystem solutions will be exhibited in the aXstor Booth, #730 at Storage Expo, London on October 18th to 19th 2006.
