FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Melbourne, Australia – March 1, 2007 - XDT today announced the launch of version 2.0 of its successful high performance deepSTOR™ clustered storage solution with NAS failover capability.

"We have seen growing pressure on production companies to run multiple pipelines concurrently off the same storage system to keep up with industry demands or to grow their businesses." says Erik Otto, MD of XDT.

"Most studios with 20+ workstations and 50+ CPU render farms are looking at upgrading their legacy storage servers with a view to accommodate a future growth of up to double or more systems accessing their main shared storage. Finding the right solution can be daunting. Most multinational storage vendors providing highly scalable solutions with a failover option can be well out of reach for some Australian businesses. Compared to the lack of local support and high on-going maintenance fees, XDT provides local studios with a viable and cost-effective alternative."

Overview

deepSTOR™ is a high availability server that extends the performance of 4 Gb Fibre Channel architecture to the mid to high-end range storage market. Designed to simultaneously meet diverse needs - SAN and NAS, primary and secondary storage - while providing high levels of availability.
