Pivot3 and ServerEngines to Demonstrate Distributed RAID with 10 Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI Target

Pivot3 RAIGE Software with ServerEngines' BladeEngine™ Technology Delivers Powerful 10 Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI Storage System

San Francisco, California, August 6, 2007 — Pivot3 Inc, the inventor of virtual distributed RAID, and ServerEngines™ Corp., a visionary supplier of silicon building blocks optimized for enterprise computing, today announced that they will be jointly demonstrating the Pivot3 distributed RAID and storage virtualization RAIGE™ software with the ServerEngines™ 10 Gigabit Ethernet BladeEngine iSCSI target hardware platform at the Next Generation Data Center Conference. The show, co-located with LinuxWorld, will take place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif., August 7-9, 2007. The combination of the ServerEngines high-performance hardware combined with Pivot3 distributed RAID and virtualization software illustrates the potential these technologies have for delivering higher-performance, next-generation storage systems. To see a demonstration, visit the ServerEngines booth #520 at the Next Generation Data Center conference.

"ServerEngines' vision of high-performance iSCSI storage systems based on industry-standard servers aligns with our vision," said Lee Caswell, founder and EVP Business Development at Pivot3. "The fast-refresh cycles of industry-standard servers merged with our RAIGE distributed RAID and virtualization software, and the state-of-the-art iSCSI target hardware and firmware from ServerEngines promise a high-performance, low-cost platform that sets the direction for storage systems in the future."

"Pivot3's RAIGE software combined with our 10 Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI Target platform on industry standard servers will make high-performance storage accessible to a much broader market," said Raju Vegesna, president and CEO of ServerEngines. "The RAIGE OS's virtual RAID controllers and RAIGE Director's GUI running on our fully offloaded BladeEngine iSCSI target hardware will enable a unified networking and storage fabric on 10 Gigabit Ethernet."
