Müller GmbH & Co. KG Selects StoreAge’s MTM to Provide Storage Virtualization Management and Ensure Business Continuity

Ulm, Germany, January 27, 2003 - StoreAge Networking Technologies, an innovator in enterprise SAN storage management, has announced today the deployment of its SVM™ (Storage Virtualization Manager) at the Ulm datacenter of Müller GmbH & Co. KG, the renowned large discount drugstore chain in Germany. The deployment at
Müller was effected in cooperation with BASIS GmbH, StoreAge’s strategic partner in Germany.

Müller GmbH & Co. KG, a 1.5 billion Euro company, is a leading German drugstore chain, with over 15,000 employees and 383 stores throughout Germany, Austria, Spain, Slovenia and Mallorca. Müller looked for a dependable and efficient storage management solution to manage its SAN and safeguard essential business data
against disaster. Müller chose StoreAge’s SVM for its unique asymmetric (off-the-data path) storage virtualization management, business continuity capabilities and proven performance. SVM simplified the management of Müller’s storage systems by consolidating the available storage resources into a centrally managed pool that provisions capacity whenever needed. SVM enables the flawless functioning of Müller’s datacenter at considerable cost savings.

Additional factor in Müller’s decision was multiMirrorTM, StoreAge’s innovative mirroring application, which Müller plans to use to mirror data from its Ulm datacenter to a second datacenter in Ulm-Jungingen. multiMirror continuously mirrors data independently of the storage subsystems in use, offering an extremely cost-effective disaster recovery solution, and providing vital business continuity capabilities that minimize the impact of both planned and unplanned system downtime while ensuring 24x7 access to data. Dani Naor, Vice President of Business Development at StoreAge, noted: “The installation at Müller is another milestone in StoreAge’s thrust to increase its presence in worldwide markets. 2002 has been very successful for us, and we are confident that with such reputable customers, we will continue to succeed and expand in 2003.”

Stefan Fischer, CEO of BASIS GmbH, added: ”Working together with StoreAge, we provided Müller an efficient solution, which helped our customer enhance its storage management capabilities and significantly reduced the total cost of ownership.”
