Exabyte Corporation (Nasdaq: EXBT), a performance and value leader in tape
backup systems, announced today that its Magnum20 LTO tape library has been
selected as a finalist for the prestigious Best New Technology Awards at FOSE
2003. The awards are sponsored by Government Computer News, whose editorial
staff evaluated hundreds of products and services and named Magnum20 as one of
the most innovative storage products being exhibited at the FOSE 2003 Show.
Winners will be announced at FOSE 2003, which will be held at the
Washington, D.C. Convention Center, April 8-10. FOSE is the largest
information technology exposition serving the government marketplace. Now in
its 27th year, FOSE hosts more than 400 exhibitors showcasing the newest and
most exciting integrated IT products and services. FOSE draws thousands of
high-level attendees from the military, civilian, state and local agencies,
along with suppliers to government, corporate, education and healthcare IT
buyers.
The Exabyte Magnum20 tape library provides the best scalability, density
and price/performance for users of midrange storage solutions. Magnum20
provides users with affordable automated access to as few as two drives and
30 cartridges, as well as the ability to scale to as many as eight drives and
150 cartridge slots without any additional investment in their tape library.
When configured with all 8 tape drives and 150 cartridges, Magnum20 provides
up to 30TB of capacity and throughput of up to 864GB/hr, all in a chassis that
occupies only 20 rack-units of space. With a base price MSRP of $16,499,
Magnum20 cuts the cost of data storage by more than 50 percent compared to
comparable tape libraries.
"Exabyte has a long-standing commitment to the government market, and this
award nomination is a tremendous validation that we are succeeding in
designing storage solutions that meet the specific needs of government IT
professionals," said Kelly Beavers, vice president of marketing at Exabyte.
"Magnum20 was designed to provide the capacity, performance and scalability
that meet government customers' considerable storage needs, but at a very
competitive price that fits into their tight IT budgets."
