Rocket Division Software Announces over 1000
Customers for StarWind iSCSI Target Software.

Tortola Island, British Virgin Islands, Nov 1, 2007

Rocket Division Software announces over 1000 paying
customers are using their iSCSI target software.
StarWind, which runs on Microsoft Windows, allows
any server (physical or virtual) to access
centralized storage, providing a cost-effective
and easy-to-customize method for implementing
centralized storage, gaining all the benefits of
a storage area network (SAN).

"We were implementing VMware in our corporate data
center, at the time we were using local storage on
all our servers and did not have a SAN solution.
In order to leverage the High Availability, Dynamic
Resource Scheduling, and VMotion features of VMware
we needed a shared storage medium such as a Fiber
Channel or iSCSI SAN.  StarWind was the most often
referenced and favored iSCSI target mentioned in
the VMware Technology Network (VMTN) forums," said
Benjamin D. Craig, VP of Information Systems,
River City Bank California. "We were so impressed
with the performance and low cost of StarWind we
decided to use StarWind in our primary and
secondary data centers in both our B2B and
Enterprise DMZ networks."

"StarWind allows us to cost effectively reproduce
an expensive production SAN in our VMware testing
lab, which saves us countless hours of manual effort.
It was just too expensive to purchase additional
hardware for testing so we were suffering with
directly attached disks and some cumbersome storage
management issues surrounding this limitation," said
Neil Hickey, Network Analyst, IIMAK (International
Imaging Materials, Inc.) "The speed of iSCSI storage
and the simplicity to create new storage resources
for our virtual machines is an indispensable
component of our testing practices. We've only just
scratched the surface of StarWind's capabilities,
I'm particularly impressed with it's seemless
integration with VMware."

Customers requiring enhanced features such as
snapshots, replication and additional storage
capacity can choose between the Standard edition
for $395, and the Professional edition for $995.
With the addition of the free StarPort iSCSI
initiator customers have a single point of
support for both the server side storage SAN
and the client side iSCSI agent.

A slimmed down version of StarWind is also available
as a free download, providing up to 2TB of storage
capacity, allowing customers to implement iSCSI
storage in a small production environment before
deciding on the best configuration for a more robust
enterprise solution.

Business of all sizes can benefit from a simpler way
to perform backups, disaster recovery and simplify
storage management. StarWind and StarPort support
industry standard servers and various Microsoft
Windows operating systems.

Virtual tape library (VTL) support for StarWind is
due Q1 2008. VTL feature will allow existing
tape backup software to backup directly to disk (iSCSI
storage).
