SEPATON Delivers First Remote Replication Solution Designed for the World`s Most Data Intensive Enterprises

DeltaRemote Software Provides Network-Optimized, Secure Replication for Complete
Disaster Protection.
MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
SEPATON, Inc., the leader in enterprise-class disk-based data protection
solutions, today announced that for the first time the world`s largest, most
data intensive organizations can cost-effectively and reliably perform remote
replication. SEPATON`s new DeltaRemote software enables enterprises to back up
and replicate large volumes of data for simple, cost-effective disaster
protection. DeltaRemote delivers the performance, scalability and automation
large enterprises need to meet regulatory requirements for disaster recovery,
reduce labor-intensive tape handling, and meet stringent recovery time
objectives (RTO).

DeltaRemote software leverages SEPATON`s scale-out architecture, and the power
of its DeltaStor® deduplication software to significantly reduce the bandwidth
requirements of replication by as much as 97 percent. The scale-out architecture
enables companies to add performance or capacity as needed simply by adding
modular processing nodes or additional disk. The architecture automatically
integrates added capacity and balances all processing needed to back up,
deduplicate, and replicate data across multiple nodes for optimal performance.
Each SEPATON node can deduplicate as much as 25TB of data per day while
replicating only relevant changes.

"SEPATON is the key component of our upcoming disaster recovery deployment,"
said Tom Walsh, CIO of ACN, the world`s largest direct seller of
telecommunications services. "We have come to rely on our SEPATON VTL to protect
our critical data assets within the datacenter. With DeltaRemote, we will
further automate and improve our data protection strategies from site-wide
disasters as well."

"Coupling deduplication with replication to reduce bandwidth requirements
enables large-scale data center environments to meet DR imperatives," said
Lauren Whitehouse, analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "SEPATON`s scale-out
architecture already makes it a must-evaluate solution for reducing back up and
operational recovery windows. With the addition of remote replication, it`s now
a more compelling solution for enabling disaster recovery too."

"Physical tape and standard disk-based solutions are not designed to provide the
level of performance, scalability or control that large, data-intensive
organizations need to back up, deduplicate, and replicate enterprise-scale
volumes of data. DeltaRemote enhances the SEPATON solutions by replicating large
volumes of data to remote sites without adding manual tasks or taxing network
resources," said Fidelma Russo, executive vice president of engineering and
development, SEPATON, Inc. "Enterprises can now save money and reduce the risks
of manual tape handling with a reliable, secure, remote replication solution."

Highlights of SEPATON DeltaRemote software include:

Network Optimization Reduces Bandwidth up to 97 percent - DeltaRemote software
works with DeltaStor deduplication software to identify and replicate only
unique data and pointers to previously stored duplicate data. This process
significantly reduces the amount of data to be transmitted.

High Performance for Fast RTO - DeltaRemote software enables enterprises to back
up data to the safety of both a primary and remote VTL automatically and at
industry-leading speed and efficiency. DeltaRemote delivers the industry`s
fastest restore times through the use of "forward referencing," a deduplication
method that maintains the most recent back up in a format ready for immediate
restores without reassembly.

Scale-out Architecture - DeltaRemote software is fully integrated with SEPATON`s
grid architecture to enable enterprises to seamlessly add capacity and/or
performance in a single appliance without over-provisioning. Scale-out
technology balances all processing required to back up, replicate, and
deduplicate large volumes of data across multiple processing nodes.

Faster, Simpler DR Testing - Regular DR testing must include a complete test of
systems, procedures, and processes in as realistic a manner as possible to
identify weaknesses in data movement, network delays, bandwidth limits, and,
potential human errors. SEPATON DeltaRemote makes DR testing faster and more
efficient by eliminating the need for time intensive tape handling and pre-test
preparation.

Advanced Management Control - DeltaRemote gives users complete control of their
disaster protection environment to support business objectives and policies.
Users choose which data to replicate at the cartridge level, providing unmatched
flexibility. Intelligent scheduling, reporting and integration with the VTL
management console cut administration time and complexity.

Pricing and Availability

DeltaRemote software is available May 30 and is priced at $11,000 per node for
the software license.
