POWAY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 2006--Tandberg Data Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tandberg Data ASA (OSE:TAD), today announced that it has entered into an agreement with D&H Distributing, the national computer products and consumer electronics distributor, to distribute Tandberg Data's StorageLoader(TM), InteliStor(TM) and LTO tape drive product lines. All hardware models covered by the agreement are now in stock and available for D&H to ship.
"D&H wants to provide the maximum value for its SMB and small enterprise VARs. Storage and back-up are two of the most high-demand categories in the market because users' needs are crucial in this area," said Dan Schwab, vice president of marketing at D&H Distributing.

Tandberg Data's line of tape drives meets that challenge, delivering a prudent combination of quality, scalability and capacity at an SMB price point."
"Our new agreement with D&H allows us to deliver the Tandberg Data line of LTO-based storage solutions to a significantly expanded customer base that includes small and mid-size businesses seeking more sophisticated technologies that can help them compete against larger competitors, as well as commercial customers who demand integrated storage solutions and superior service and support," explained Ken Cruden, Tandberg Data COO.
