Celeros Launches EzSAN Line of Low Cost IP SAN (iSCSI) Appliances for SMB Customers

Redwood City, Calif., April 23, 2005 — Celeros Corporation® today announced the launch of EzSAN™, a new family of low cost iSCSI and SATA RAID-based IP SAN Appliances to provide small and medium businesses (SMB) the benefits of consolidation and centralization of SAN at affordable, market breaking prices.

The first step in Celeros' promise of "bringing SANity to storage costs", EzSAN™ is meant to bring the advantages of Storage Area Networks (SAN) to the masses by delivering on the promises of iSCSI. In its first incarnation, EzSAN™ is comprised of two appliances.

EzSAN XR11 is targeted for general-purpose storage needs, making it ideal for disk-to-disk backup, departmental, remote office, email, document, and compliance driven archive storage applications. XR11 comes in a 1U, 19" rack mountable chassis with 4 hot swappable SATA bays and up to 1 terabyte of raw storage capacity in its initial release. Future releases of this product will increase this capacity to 2 terabytes. EzSAN XR11 supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 and comes with redundant hot swappable cooling, built-in Dual Gigabit Ethernet and 1 gigabyte of cache as standard.

EzSAN XR23 is ideal for primary block level storage for high performance servers or clusters, Disk-to-Disk or Disk-to-Disk-To-Tape back up storage, email and vital business document archive storage, and regional/central back up storage for remote offices. XR23 is housed in a 2U, 19" rack mountable chassis with 12 hot swappable SATA RAID disk bays and can support up to 3 terabytes of raw disk capacity in its initial release. Future releases of this product will increase its capacity to 6 terabytes. EzSAN XR23 supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 and comes with redundant hot swappable power and cooling, built-in Dual Gigabit Ethernet and 1 gigabyte of cache as standard.

The EzSAN™ product line is managed by an easy to use, web browser-based administrative tool.

"The small and medium size companies have been waiting for an IP based scalable storage appliance that's easy on their budgets, uses the standard Ethernet corporate backbone and is easy to use", said Abtin Assadi, Celeros' CEO. "The EzSAN product family aims to fill that demand", Assadi continued.

By introducing a full featured line of appliances that deliver rock solid reliability, screaming performance, high scalability, and highly secure solutions, Celeros has assembled the best of breed in storage, networking, management and packaging to deliver a unique value to its customers.
