within Greater China.  Target customers are large enterprises with data
centers that store significant amounts of data storage and require

for primary and value tier storage.  The company will focus on

and other businesses whose operations rely on data intensive
environments. =20

"Because China has one of the fastest growing storage markets in the
world, with a growth rate of more than 20 percent annually, we believe
this market offers tremendous opportunity to expand our business and win
market share from the competition," said Bob Miller, ONStor CEO.=20

Kin has more than 20 years' experience managing technology sales
programs in China and the Asia-Pacific region.  Prior to joining ONStor,
Kin was Chief Representative for China MIPS Technologies and Vice
President for Netro's Asia-Pacific operations.  Kin has also served in

solutions like ONStor's that enable data storage managers to easily
scale systems to support business growth while providing a choice for
their storage manufacturer," said Gallivan.  "I believe we have a
compelling product offering that will make it easy for our channel
partners and customers to be successful and help ONStor build brand
awareness in the region."
