ARISTOS Logic: Press Releases

Aristos Logic Joins Blade.Org
Brings New Levels of Performance, Efficiency
to Enterprise Storage Controllers for Networked Storage Products

Foothill Ranch, California - Sept. 26, 2006 - Aristos Logic, the industry leader in RAID Storage Processor (RSP™) technology, today announced that it has joined Blade.Org (www.blade.org), an open community created to develop and advance next-generation solutions for blade servers. Together with IBM, Aristos Logic intends to deliver an integrated storage blade solution for IBM's BladeCenter family of products using their UltraSlice AL3400 RAID Storage Processor device, in conjunction with Aristos UltraSlice RAID Software.

"Blade architectures, which place a premium on space, scalability and performance, are a natural fit for purpose built storage engines like our RAID Storage Processor. The RSP, in combination with Aristos Logic's feature rich, enterprise-class RAID software, delivers a compelling solution for a wide range of next generation storage systems," said Anil Gupta, CEO of Aristos Logic. "We are proud to be a part of Blade.org and will continue to collaborate with the community to help customers benefit from enhanced scalability, performance and high availability features for the blade server platform."

"Blade.org is the industry's largest ecosystem of collaborators developing solutions for a blade platform," said Doug Balog, vice president and business line executive, IBM BladeCenter and chairman, Blade.org. "We welcome Aristos Logic into the community and look forward to collaborating with them to drive new products and solutions for industry-leading IBM BladeCenter."

Formally established in February 2006, Blade.org provides collaboration and tools to ISVs and business partners looking to reach new markets and customers for blade-based technologies, representing the world's fastest growing server market segment. Blades provide an opportunity for cost savings as companies are able to collapse servers, storage devices, networking infrastructure and security appliances into a single location in the datacenter.

Headquartered in Foothill Ranch, California, Aristos Logic creates special-purpose processors that bring new levels of performance, efficiency, features and cost-effectiveness to enterprise storage controllers for networked storage products. The company's dedicated RAID Storage Processors offer unbeatable price-performance for entry-level products and scalability for mid-range products. Aristos processors, together with Aristos software, provide a base level of RAID functionality that system vendors can use as a foundation for their own value-added features. The Company is backed by a number of distinguished strategic investors as well as Tier 1 venture firms such as J. P. Morgan Partners, Texas Pacific Group, Woodside Fund and QTV Capital.
