Inrange Lowers Guidance Post-Attack: Page 3 of 3

What's more, some industry analysts say firms like Inrange, which specialize in storage network infrastructure, will see demand increase as customers focus on disaster recovery, remote disk mirroring, and storage backup -- although this speculation has not been borne out in the market over the past few days (see Late Rally Features Brocade).

In response to last week's events, Inrange has joined many other storage companies (see Disaster Recovery Takes Center Stage) in dedicating hundreds of field staffers and extra inventory to customers such as Comdisco Inc. (NYSE: CDO), Electronic data Systems (NYSE: EDS), IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM), and SunGard Planning Solutions. These companies specialize in disaster recovery and business continuance operations, and in turn, they are enabling hundreds of corporate customers to get up and running again.

Spokespeople say Inrange will give restated fourth-quarter and full year 2001 guidance early in the fourth quarter, after it has had an opportunity to assess fully the impact of last week's tragedy on its business.
