Xiotech's Hosted Data Replication Services Win Best of Show Award at Data Protection Summit


TimeScale Replication Services Awarded Most Innovative Data Protection Application

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., March 15 -- Xiotech® Corporation announced today that its TimeScale(TM) Replication Services were awarded the "Most Innovative Data Protection Application" at the 1st Annual Data Protection Summit.

The best of show awards are judged on product uniqueness compared to competitor offerings and each product's expected future significance. Each judge selects his or her top three candidates in each category, and then the judges regroup and collectively determine the winner in each category.

"The Data Protection Summit Innovation Award for Applications recognizes a premiere company whose products and services are impressively addressing a specific solution for the marketplace," said Jay Kramer, chairperson of the Data Protection Summit Awards Committee. "The Data Protection Summit is proud to recognize Xiotech's TimeScale Replication Services for innovation in being able to bring this enterprise-class technology cost effectively to the small & medium business marketplace."

With TimeScale Replication Services, an organization's vital data is replicated continuously to Xiotech's secure data center and can be easily recovered if needed. These managed storage services are designed to be part of an organization's business continuity strategy, improving the security of organizational data, minimizing downtime and making recovery more reliable following data loss and disaster situations.

Xiotech provides organizations with two options in restoring data back to the primary data center. First, data can be recovered via a simplified recovery sequence over the network. Alternatively, a mobile recovery unit fully populated with the organization's system volumes and data can be delivered within three working days.

Xiotech also offers advanced assessment services through its Business Consulting Group. These services help organizations determine and develop the right business continuity solution that is right for them based on business impact, service level requirements, classification of data and data retention policies.

"We're excited to offer midsized customers the means to quickly protect their mission-critical information without adding new resources or spending significant budget dollars. TimeScale Replication Services reduce our customers' exposure to business continuity risks, while also increasing stakeholder confidence," said Mike Stolz, vice president of Corporate Marketing for Xiotech. "We're honored that the Data Protection Summit recognizes TimeScale Replication Services and has named it the most innovative data replication application."

Xiotech received the Best of Show award for "Most Innovative Data Protection Application" at a March 14 event held in conjunction with the Data Protection Summit. The summit was held from March 12-15, 2007, at the Irvine/Orange County, California Airport Hilton Hotel.
