EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Xiotech Corporation
today announced a new line of storage systems featuring the company's
patented Intelligent Storage Element (ISE) technology acquired from Seagate
Technology last November. By using ISEs as the fundamental element of
storage instead of disk drives, the Emprise(TM) storage systems are able to
virtually eliminate the need for service, scale from one terabyte to one
petabyte and dramatically boost performance, validated by SPC tests. The
systems include a five year hardware warranty and there is no price premium
for the new technology.

"It's time for a new foundation for storage," said Xiotech Chief
Technology Officer Steve Sicola, who led a million-man-hour effort to bring
the ISE technology to market. "Exponential growth in data storage capacity
continues, but reliability, performance and manageability haven't kept
pace. We have fundamentally rethought storage from the ground up, and with
the ISE have developed break-through technology, which is tested, proven
and ready to go."
