DISC, Inc. Products Available Through SEWP III Contract
    MILPITAS, Calif., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
DISC Inc. (Nasdaq: DCSR), a manufacturer of automated solutions for enterprise
storage, announced today a partnership with Government Micro Resources, to
sell its NearLine Storage Solutions to federal agencies on NASA's Scientific
and Engineering Workstation Platform (SEWP) III contract.
    "We are pleased that we will be working with DISC, Inc. and representing
their product line to the government market," said Bob Keigley, GMR's Vice
President of Vendor Relations.  "DISC has designed its solutions to provide
the reliability, performance and capacity needed for mission critical storage
applications."
    GMR was awarded contracts by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) in two classes of the Scientific Engineering Workstation
Procurement III (SEWP III) program.  SEWP III was a full and open competitive
procurement, and GMR is the only small business to receive an award.  DISC's
Storage libraries are now available to all federal agencies on the NASA SEWP
III contract through resellers like GMR.
    "This partnership is perfect for DISC because of GMR's strong presence in
the government market," said Bob Riland, DISC's President and CEO.  "Together

address the demanding and increasing needs of government end users today."
