Rorke Data's Galaxy HDX RAID Platform Approved for the Latest Film, Video and Audio Post and Edit Solutions

LAS VEGAS, NV, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
NAB SHOW -- Rorke Data Inc., a data storage solutions provider to the
film, video and post production industry, and wholly owned subsidiary of
Bell Microproducts (PINKSHEETS: BELM), today announced several new
industry OEM approvals for its award winning Galaxy(R) HDX RAID platform.
The Galaxy HDX family features high performance capability of over 1200
MB/s, as required by industry leading post production application and
hardware suppliers such as Solid State Logic (SSL) for both high-end audio
post and media asset management, da Vinci Systems for professional film
color correction workflows and AJA for the company's highly regarded Kona
3 and Xena HD capture and edit product lines.

According to Robert Herzan, Rorke Data's vice president of sales, "The
Galaxy HDX RAID family is unique in that it is approved by and supports a
wide range of post production workflows. Galaxy HDX represents a fifth
generation RAID platform and has kept pace with the rigorous performance
requirements of the digital post production industry since the early
1990s. We continue to earn the recommendation of industry leaders for our
data storage solutions. AJA, SSL and da Vinci represent three different
types of high-end professional product sets, each with specific,
data-intensive workflows including film, HD video, audio post, and media
asset management."

"We're excited to be partnering with Rorke Data to offer their storage
solutions, including the Galaxy storage line to our clients," noted Dean
Lyon, vice president of marketing at da Vinci Systems. "Rorke Data's
multi-generation technology, global presence and longevity in the market,
as well as their ability to keep pace with a value-based price performance
ratio make them an ideal partner, allowing us to offer our clients the
ability to maximize their equipment investments while streamlining their
product infrastructure."

"We've partnered with Rorke Data and its Galaxy product line for our Kona
and Xena video post systems because of their great support and longevity
in the market along with a wide variety of solutions that meet the
demands of our customers," said Paul Weiser, vice president, sales and
marketing for AJA Video Systems. "The reliability and maturity of Rorke
Data and its fifth generation RAID products, along with the proof point
of over 8000 units installed in the field, make us confident that our
customers are getting the best product for their application with a path
for support in the future."

Shaun McTernan, product manager, media production services for Solid State
Logic, added that, "SSL has worked with Rorke Data for years, and we are
recommending that our clients purchase a complete product line of disk,
SAN and archive solutions based on Rorke's HDX and DVA product sets.
Rorke's storage product line is a perfect match with our Gravity system.
Rorke's Galaxy RAID and DVA provide scalable storage and extended support
options, which are crucial for the workflow in all of our media asset
management solutions -- from smaller, cost-based implementations on up to
the enterprise level. Rorke can design a solution to meet the
requirements of our clients."

The Galaxy HDX brings a new level of speed, simplicity and cost savings
to the post production industry. Offering superior performance and
connectivity to the professional content creator's desktop application
environment, the Galaxy HDX enables shared content creation and media
asset management and provides secure storage for today's higher
