December 16, 2003 
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 16, 2003-- CaminoSoft Corp. CMSF, a leading provider of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions, announced today that it has selected and certified Pegasus Disk Technologies’ archive management software for the Company’s ILM offerings.

CaminoSoft’s Managed Server HSM™ software provides a cost-effective ILM model for handling the complexities of data storage management. Pegasus’ InveStore® software creates a virtualized data pool that expands secondary storage onto any number of archive devices while simplifying management of those resources. By combining Managed Server HSM with InveStore, the result is a finely tuned data storage resource that enables virtually infinite growth; as storage requirements increase or change, peripheral devices can be easily reconfigured or added to the pool. The combined solution allows organizations to meet strict compliance regulations and optimize storage investment and utilization.

Richard Krueger, Vice President of Channel Sales and Marketing at CaminoSoft, stated, "We are very pleased to establish this important business relationship with Pegasus. Their comprehensive InveStore media management portfolio provides IT professionals with access to a broad and versatile range of archival storage alternatives, including M-O, CD-R, and DVD-RAM/ROM peripherals. Pegasus’ support of WORM devices and media is especially important due to the established and emerging regulatory procedures that govern data retention in several industries, most notably banking, finance, and healthcare.” Krueger continued, “The seamless integration of Pegasus’ modular InveStore software and CaminoSoft’s Information Lifecycle Management solution results in scalable, affordable offerings for NetWare & Windows 2000 environments, essential for satisfying channel partner product requests and addressing end-user customer compliance requirements.”


"We are excited to launch this business relationship with CaminoSoft. The combination of CaminoSoft's innovative Information Lifecycle Management for NetWare & Windows 2000 and Pegasus’ InveStore media management creates a solution with outstanding value, enabling fulfillment and support of customers’ diverse storage management, high availability, and regulatory needs," said Roy Slicker, President and CEO at Pegasus Disk Technologies. “There has been a driving interest in compliance storage with the necessity to direct data to storage devices relevant to points in time in the data lifecycle. Pegasus helps to meet those needs for write-once compliance, while CaminoSoft provides a robust migration engine.”
