NFL/NCAA/Omega use CPCI SAN products. Broncos, Falcons... Florida State... Company Press Release Ciprico and DES/Montage Help NFL, NCAA Teams Find Competitive Edge with OMEGA Sports Network Solution MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 1999--Ciprico Inc. (Nasdaq:CPCI - news) today announced that the OMEGA Sports Network Solution with Ciprico's Fibre Channel digital storage is giving numerous NFL and Division 1 NCAA teams the opportunity to find an edge against their competition through shared, interactive review of game video footage. The list of NFL teams includes the two-time Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos, the NFC champion Atlanta Falcons, the New York Jets and the Seattle Seahawks. The number of teams in the NCAA also installing OMEGA is rapidly growing, following the lead of #1-ranked Florida State University, the University of Wisconsin, UCLA and Clemson. The OMEGA Sports Network Solution is an NT-based, all-digital, networked video sports analysis system that is literally revolutionizing strategic planning and training for professional and collegiate sports. The system is regularly deployed with 20-30 workstations for coaches, staff and team members throughout an organization, but can easily grow into much larger configurations. The workstations are connected into a standard LAN (Ethernet) which is also connected to servers on a SAN (storage area network). Ciprico Fibre Channel disk arrays provide OMEGA's high-speed video archive storage and supply the performance necessary to support simultaneous playback on all of Omega's workstations. Video is streamed from the disk arrays on the SAN through the servers and down to the workstations via TCP/IP. The disk array storage is completely scaleable and can grow to support any number of workstations and any amount of images. For example, the Seattle Seahawks organization owned by tech guru Paul Allen now has over 250 hours of online video storage on their Ciprico disk arrays. ''We developed OMEGA from an idea that grew out of our experience at Montage in developing SAN-based non-linear digital editing systems for the Entertainment industry,'' said Digital Editing Services (DES) and Montage Group Ltd. President David Engelke. ''The Ciprico disk arrays were a large part of making that a reality. We had the added benefit of Ciprico's research and development team assisting us in the design of OMEGA's hybrid SAN/IP network.'' ''The OMEGA Sports System with the Ciprico disk arrays is the definitive strategic planning tool for teams to find their edge and train for upcoming games,'' said Ciprico Market Manager Dennis Pederson. ''It's no wonder the NFL and NCAA teams are lining up to get OMEGA in their facilities.''
