iQstor Partners with CaminoSoft to Enhance ILM,
Tiered Storage Offerings for SMBs

Implementation of Affordable, Highly Scalable and Highly Automated Tiered Solutions to be discussed by iQstor Networks at ILM Summit West 2005

Newbury Park, Calif. - February 8, 2005 - iQstor Networks, developer of intelligent, integrated Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions, announced that they are enhancing their Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) and tiered storage solutions for small to mid-size businesses (SMBs) by partnering with CaminoSoft Corporation (OTC.BB:CMSF) to supply Managed Server HSM software for use with the company's intelligent Fibre Channel and Serial ATA-based storage systems.

CaminoSoft is a leading provider of ILM solutions for Microsoft Windows 200X and Novell NetWare environments. The company's Managed Server HSM software reduces IT overhead and provides lower total cost of ownership by relocating seldom-accessed files from high-performance disk to lower-cost storage pools. When combined with the highly intelligent, policy-driven iQstor Storage Systems, the resulting solution brings SMBs an affordable, extremely easy to use ILM solution to maximize information availability, safeguard data and automate the movement of seldom used data to lower cost storage.

iQstor will be discussing their new ILM and tiered storage solutions for SMBs at ILM Summit West 2005 in Irvine on February 8 and 9.

"With iQstor's intelligent storage solutions and CaminoSoft's Managed Server HSM software, SMBs can now implement cost-effective tiered storage solutions that protect and manage high-value data throughout its lifecycle, serving business continuity requirements and supporting Information Lifecycle Management initiatives,” Jason Lo, president, iQstor Networks, said. “The addition of CaminoSoft software allows system administrators to implement storage management functionality that is highly complementary to the management capabilities onboard our intelligent Fibre Channel and SATA solutions, and we look forward to the benefits SMBs can realize from this partnership.”

In a typical iQstor-based ILM and tiered storage solution, an intelligent iQ1000 Fibre Channel Storage System and multiple J1000 Fibre Channel Expansion Enclosures are used for primary storage, and multiple J1200 SATA Expansion Enclosures are used for secondary storage. Using these iQstor products, the primary Fibre Channel storage pool can easily be scaled to 36TB and secondary SATA storage pool can be scaled to 90TB Terabytes. CaminoSoft's intelligent Managed Server HSM software works in conjunction with intelligence onboard the iQ1000 to migrate data to different storage tiers based on pre-defined policies and usage patterns.

“We are very pleased to establish this business partnership with iQstor. The combination of iQstor's Storage Systems and CaminoSoft's Managed Server HSM software provides small and mid-size organizations with access to affordable, highly-scalable ILM solutions that can increase operational productivity, facilitate regulatory compliance, and leverage their investment in IT infrastructure,” said Richard Krueger, vice president of marketing and alliances at CaminoSoft. “We are excited about the opportunity to deliver automated, policy-driven tiered storage solutions to the marketplace through this association.”
