Leader in mainframe storage connectivity solutions recognized for
                 innovation in tape-on-disk technology
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Bus-Tech, Inc., the leading solution provider for enterprise
mainframe tape data migration to open systems storage, today announced
that its Mainframe Data Library (MDL) has been selected as winner of
the Reader Trust Award by Network Products Guide, a Silicon Valley
Communications publication. Bus-Tech was named "Best in Encryption for
Mainframe" and "Best in Mainframe Disaster Recovery" for 2008 from a
global field of nominations.

   Bus-Tech's award-winning virtual tape controller, MDL, delivers
consistent, practical and secure performance to enterprise mainframe
environments through tape-on-disk emulation. The MDL has been
recognized worldwide for helping organizations achieve high
availability storage, reduced backup and restore times, and a lower
total cost of ownership.

   "Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology
are helping shape better products and services," says Rake Narang,
editor-in-chief, Network Products Guide. "Bus-Tech's MDL fills a big
gap in the storage industry between the tape and open systems worlds."

   The MDL connects to IBM and compatible mainframes, allowing
organizations to capitalize on the data mirroring capabilities of open
system storage and eliminate the need for tape duplexing and offsite
shipping by using IP-based data replication over private or public
wide area networks. When compared to current peer-to-peer tape data
replication solutions, the MDL can eliminate requirements for
specialized channel extension equipment and provide concurrent data
replication to multiple sites.

   "Bus-Tech has long been an innovator in storage connectivity
solutions, helping companies leverage the security, reliability and
performance of open systems devices without the cost and risk of total
system replacement," said Al Brandt, president of Bus-Tech, Inc. "The
readers of Network Products Guide have reaffirmed this need and with
their votes have chosen Bus-Tech as the leader in mainframe disaster
recovery and encryption."

   Bus-Tech will be exhibiting the latest in mainframe connectivity
solutions at SHARE San Jose on August 11-13, 2008. Attendees are
invited to visit them at booth #102 and attend presentations by
Director Jim O'Connor on "Virtual Tape Technologies from SUN/STK, IBM,
Bus-Tech" and "Mainframe Tape Replacement with the Mainframe Data
Library."
