20-year Industry Veteran Recognized for Driving Channel Expansion and Bringing
the World of Cloud Services to EVault`s Partners

SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
EVault, Inc., a Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), announced today that Terry
Cunningham, president and general manager, has been named one of CRN`s 2013
Channel Chiefs for the third consecutive year. This prestigious list of the most
influential and powerful leaders in the IT channel recognizes those executives
directly responsible for driving channel sales and growth within their
organization, while evangelizing and defending the importance of the channel
throughout the entire IT industry.

Cunningham, a former channel partner himself, has over 20 years of experience in
indirect sales. He was named a Channel Chief again as a result of his
exceptional leadership, innovative ideas, and commitment to partner success in
the rapidly evolving backup and recovery space. Cunningham has also been
instrumental in driving monthly recurring revenue (MRR) models for the channel,
bringing them into the future of software delivery. Additionally, he was
recognized as one of CRN`s Top 100 Channel Executives in 2012, an award given to
the most influential and innovative channel executives in North America.

Under Cunningham`s leadership this past year, EVault expanded its global channel
presence announcing strategic partnerships with blue-chip businesses in the
EMEA, APAC and Latin American regions bringing its portfolio of cloud-connected
data protection to more businesses in these high-growth markets. The company
also launched EVault 7, a significant upgrade to EVault`s cloud-connected backup
and recovery platform, and a guaranteed SLA and speedy 4-hour option for its
EVault Cloud Disaster Recovery Service. Both offerings bring more substantial
data backup and recovery options and opportunities for profitability to the
channel.

"It`s an immense honor to be named one of CRN`s Channel Chiefs for a third
consecutive year, but the real praise must be given to EVault`s channel team and
our partners for their tireless commitment to and passion for customer service,"
said Cunningham. "Due to their outstanding work, we`ve been able to strengthen
existing channel relationships, introduce a number of attractive services and
expand our reach into growing international markets. EVault`s success relies
heavily on the strong two-way commitment we have with our channel partners - we
provide outstanding cloud-connected backup and recovery solutions and they in
turn help us lead the data protection industry into the future."

For over ten years, Channel Chiefs have been selected by the CRN editorial team
based on channel experience, program innovations, channel-driven revenue, and
public support for the importance of IT Channel Sales.

"The 2013 Channel Chiefs list recognizes vendor executives dedicated to driving
channel programs in the IT marketplace," said Kelley Damore, senior vice
president, editorial director, CRN. "Our annual Channel Chiefs issue is a
must-read for IT solution providers evaluating new vendors or looking to expand
solution offerings. These are the people, the products and the programs that any
savvy solution provider needs to know. We congratulate this year`s Channel
Chiefs for their stellar record of business innovation and applaud them for
their continued dedication to the partner community."

Selected by CRN's editorial staff, the 2013 Channel Chiefs list is featured in
the 2/25/13 issue of CRN Magazine and will be featured online at www.crn.com.
