Symform Honored by SMB Nation

Selected in two categories for Best of Show Awards
SEATTLE--(Business Wire)--
Symform, Inc. (www.symform.com), a developer of online storage services for
disaster recovery, announced today that it has been honored in two categories by
SMB Nation. Symform was named "Best Service Product" and "Most Promising New
Product." The winners of the various awards were chosen by more than 800
representatives from leading IT Service Providers attending the SMB Nation 2009
Fall Conference in Las Vegas.

Founded in 1999, SMB Nation conferences and events bring forward-thinking IT
Service Providers, technologies, and vendors together to inspire new
opportunities in the SMB space. Being THE information source for SMB
technologists and Small Business Specialists worldwide, SMB Nation delivers
complete business solutions to help its members better manage their businesses,
stay abreast of new technologies, and provide on-going education.

"As pioneers of backup and disaster recovery solutions, we are thrilled to be
recognized as a company that exemplifies innovation and success potential," said
Praerit Garg, CEO and co-founder of Symform. "It is especially pleasing to know
that this was a `People`s Choice` process with the nominations and votes coming
from the members of SMB Nation."

The Symform Cooperative Storage CloudTM enables small businesses to implement a
backup and disaster recovery solution that is more secure and ten times cheaper
than traditional online backup services. The company was founded on the
realization that millions of small businesses have computers with an excess of
inexpensive storage capacity, power running 24x7, and unlimited Internet
bandwidth - especially nights and weekends. The Symform team has developed
software that aggregates this relatively unreliable and untrusted capacity over
the Internet and transforms it into a secure and reliable global storage system.
The heart of Symform`s software is a proprietary technology called RAID-96.TM

"The people have spoken and they recognize Symform as a progressive and
disruptive technology that warrants serious consideration by the SMB channel,"
said Harry Brelsford, President and CEO of SMB Nation. "I`m delighted to see
Symform driving success with innovation in a recovering economy. The people
clearly applaud that."

"Winning both prestigious awards at this focused industry event showcases the
importance of the Symform solution to small and mid-market MSPs and IT
consultants," said Dana Guppy, CEO of First Mile Services. "Disaster recovery
solutions that lower client anxiety and allow them to sleep well are rarely
associated with an affordable price. Implement Symform soon before your
competition does!"
