InfoWorld Magazine Reviews Celeros EzSAN XR23 as Celeros Adds Two New Product Lines To EzSAN.Redwood City, Calif., October 24, 2005 — In an article published October 3rd titled "iSCSI SANs Unleashed", InfoWorld magazine compared Celeros Corporation's EzSAN XR23 product with other products from vendors including Network Appliance, Equal Logic, and Intransa. While EzSAN XR23 prices were significantly lower than those of its competitors, InforWorld declared that "XR23 held its own in performance tests" and "Celeros hardware is solid, the lines are clean, and the solution is powerful." In the article, InfoWorld acknowledges that Celeros aims to be the low cost vendor and confirms the achievement by proclaiming that: "Celeros' motto of bringing sanity to storage costs rings true." InfoWorld summarizes that "for what it aims to be, EzSAN XR23 delivers." "This article and the test InfoWorld ran, not only clearly demonstrate the viability of iSCSI based SAN solutions, it is also a ringing endorsement of Celeros' value proposition in providing customers with low cost storage. While it confirms that iSCSI SAN based products such as EzSAN XR23 are ready for prime time, a look at competitors' prices versus EzSAN is truly eye opening," said Hossein Alaee, President of Celeros. Prior to the publication of the article, Celeros announced the addition of two new product lines to EzSAN that expand the current offering to include advanced features and a SAN Filer line featuring Microsoft Windows Storage Server®. The new EzSAN XW Series offers a best of breed solution in NAS by Windows Storage Server (WSS). XW appliances are targeted at IT organizations that run Windows platforms and need network file and printer services as well as storage centralizations for applications such as Exchange Servers.
