Cloverleaf and Promise Technology Mutually Certify Cloverleaf`s Intelligent Storage Networking (iSN) System with Promise Storage

Combination Provides Unique Solution for All Promise Customers, Delivering True
Heterogeneous, Open Storage Management
WOODBURY, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
Cloverleaf, a global provider of intelligent storage network management
solutions for enterprise-class environments, today announced that Cloverleaf and
Promise Technology have mutually certified Cloverleaf`s Intelligent Storage
Networking (iSN) system with Promise VTrak E-Class subsystems and expansion
chassis. With this certification, Promise can introduce the iSN to its channels
that address a variety of current and new customer bases and vertical markets
including retail, telecommunications and high-performance computing.

With the ability to manage any and all data, regardless of storage type, vendor
or platform through a `single pane of glass,` Cloverleaf`s iSN has found great
success addressing four key customer pain points including: Site-to-Site
Disaster Recovery; Any-to-Any Data Migration; Data Protection with instant
recovery; and Thin Provisioning. Incorporating significant features such as
persistent and massive snapshoting, tiered storage according to application
requirements, and optimizing capacity usage, the iSN delivers a unique low-cost
storage management solution. These applications are deployed in Oracle, SQL,
Exchange, SharePoint, HyperV, DB2 and Xsan environments. It also integrates well
with VMware in the same environments.

"We`re pleased to be working with Promise Technology, who is a proven leader in
delivering global storage solutions," said Richard Bauer, president and CEO of
Cloverleaf. "Cloverleaf has provided unique capabilities to storage customers,
enabling them to easily manage and monitor even the most complex heterogeneous
storage networks. It`s a natural progression for Promise to certify Cloverleaf`s
iSN, allowing them to deliver these same heterogeneous storage management
capabilities to all of their worldwide channels. This combination of Cloverleaf
and Promise will further enable data centers to simplify management, eliminate
downtime and cut storage costs."

Jin-Lon Hon, vice president of engineering for Promise Technology stated, "After
evaluating the Cloverleaf solution, we have been very impressed with the iSN`s
capabilities. The iSN is a uniquely flexible, low-cost storage management
solution capable of managing mid to high-range data center requirements, it can
easily fit into any market, making it a great fit for our channels in
conjunction with Promise`s VTrak subsystems. We`re looking forward to working
with Cloverleaf, we see many great advantages in selling this combined solution
into our channels."

Creative Tools, a highly qualified VAR in Hamburg, has already experienced
significant success implementing Promise VTrak storage with Cloverleaf`s iSN
using Apple's Xsan storage technology. "The iSN was very easy to install, and
from the time we implemented it was ready for our customer`s live production
environment," said Jens Herold, general manager for Creative Tools. "The
customer, a television station in Europe, is actually using the
Cloverleaf/Promise solution in their broadcast services and it has gone above
and beyond what we promised to deliver. We fully expect to utilize the iSN in
other future customer implementations."
