`
`SANTA CLARA. CA- January 11, 2011 - Alacritech today unveils a
`Network Acceleration appliance that dramatically improves the
`performance of storage infrastructures while substantially mitigating
`Network Attached Storage (NAS) sprawl in today's enterprise. The ANX
`1500 represents the first NFS Accele ration appliance from Alacritech,
`which was established by Larry Boucher, a NAS pioneer, author of the
`SCSI standard and founder of both Adaptec and Auspex. The company
`holds 54 patents in network storage acceleration. and its foundation NFS
`Bridge'M technology is the key to the ANX 1500's outstanding
`price/performance. Alacritech has attracted $34 million in venture capital
`from top venture capital firms. including Alloy Ventures, Benchmark
`Capital, and Redpoint Ventures and has realized significant IP licensing
`revenue that largely funded ANX 1500 development.
`
`Despite long and grinding worldwide economic setbacks, one trend at
`enterprises has never stopped growing- the explosive proliferation of
`unstructured data. Advances in this rich data, through the growth of
`video, seismic, genomic, and design files have placed even more
`pressure on IT staff to manage and protect data while continuing to meet
`or exceed user expectations for performance, specifically for speed.
`Networked Attached Storage, or NAS, has responded to the challenge of
`managing and protecting file data, but has fallen far short of delivering
`manageable and affordable performance. This has created a vicious

`The Alacritech ANX 1500 is currently being used by five Fortune 1000
`companies for testing prior to launch. Pricing starts at $70,000.
`
`About Alacritech
`
`Founded in 1997 by network storage pioneer Larry Boucher and group of
`respected storage executives, Alacritech sets new records for the
`delivery of increasing amounts of enterprise cloud, video and other rich
`application data. The company's first NFS Acceleration appliance, the
`ANX 1500, mitigates Network Attached Storage (NAS) sprawl and
`dramatically improves the performance of NFS infrastructures, and does
`so without requiring the replacement of existing ecosystems or the
`surrender of ownership of mission-critical data. The ANX 1500 pays for
`itself faster than any other storage infrastructure solution and provides by
`far the lowest cost per operations per second (OPS). The company holds
`54 patents and has received $34 million in funding from Alloy Ventures,
`Benchmark Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Berkeley International Capital
`Corporation, Munder Capital Management, Needham Capital Partners,
`and Quantum Technology Ventures. Learn more at www.alacritech.com.
