New Study from TheInfoPro identifies Pantera as=20
one of the industry's most exciting products as named by end-users

CAMPBELL, CA - November 27, 2006 - ONStor announced today that the =
ONStor Pantera Clustered NAS system was named by Fortune 1000 IT =
managers as one of the industry's most exciting products in use in the =
TheInfoPro's Wave 8 Storage Study, Fall 2006. Introduced in August of =
2006, Pantera has shaken up the NAS market, undercutting competitive =
pricing by 50%, while delivering the performance, scalability and =
flexibility previously found only in the highest-cost solutions.=20

Pantera answers user demand for innovative NAS solutions that deliver =
file virtualization capability. According to TheInfoPro's Wave 8 Storage =
Study, purchases of NAS of capacity, which grew 59% in the last year at =
Fortune 1000 companies, have led to a surge in file virtualization, =
which tops TheInfoPro's Storage Management Technology Heat Index (tm) =
measuring users' reported spending and implementation plans. ONStor =
Pantera includes both integrated server and storage virtualization, =
delivering single-pool storage management regardless of the capacity =
required. Virtualized resources enable non-disruptive growth, free of =
costly data migration and user disruption.=20

"The findings in our Wave 8 Storage Study indicate that NAS deployments =
have been accelerating as installed capacity in the Fortune 1000 has =
grown from 44TB in Wave 4 (Fall 2004) to 224TB in Wave 8," said Rob =
Stevenson, managing director for Storage at TheInfoPro. "In conjunction =
with this growth, file virtualization has become a top priority, =
supplanting ILM, as storage professionals look to decouple the =
relationship between the filer and the host in order to manage each =
independently, using file virtualization on the storage side to manage =
growth transparently and server virtualization on the host to increase =
application agility."=20

TheInfoPro's findings are derived from 153 hour-long interviews, =
conducted between July 2006 and September 2006, with TheInfoPro's =
TIPNetwork of the world's largest buyers and users of IT from Fortune =
1000 enterprises. Users named Pantera one of the top 10 most exciting =
products in the industry when asked the question, " What emerging or =
exciting vendor product do you have in use?"=20

"The latest report from TheInfoPro clearly indicates the importance =
Fortune 1000 companies are placing on NAS solutions and file =
virtualization to handle the rapid growth in file storage," said Jon =
Toor, VP marketing of ONStor. "Cognizant of these needs, we strive to =
deliver affordable NAS solutions that provide the utmost in performance, =
scalability and flexibility as demonstrated in our recently announced =
Pantera systems. We are thrilled that users are excited about the =
product and we promise them there is more to come."

By integrating advanced features such as server virtualization and n-way =
clustering, ONStor Pantera allows customers to start with a complete =
configuration priced below $40,000, and then independently grow both =
performance and capacity simply by adding either filer nodes or disk. =
Expansion is simple, fast, and completely non-disruptive. Pantera =
provides the capability to consolidate data from thousands of servers, =
and tens of thousands of users to a single, easy-to-manage storage =
environment.
