Joe W., Too many opportunities out there for the U of Minn professor.... Ciprico Announces Appointment of Thomas M. Ruwart as Chief Technology Officer MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 4, 2001--Ciprico, Inc. (Nasdaq:CPCI - news) today announced that Thomas M. Ruwart has joined Ciprico as Chief Technology Officer. In this position, Ruwart will focus on technologies beyond Ciprico's core strength in bandwidth and I/O RAID storage arrays. Tom will lead the development of several new product concepts and capabilities that Ciprico will incorporate into their solutions including 2Gig/4Gig Fibre Channel, iSCSI and Infiniband. Tom's development interests are in hyper-scalable, high-performance, high-capacity intelligent storage systems as well as the effects of evolving and emerging technologies on the storage industry. ``Ciprico is very excited to have Tom as a key part of our technology team,'' said Robert H. Kill, Ciprico President and CEO. ``He has already made a tremendous impact on Ciprico with his system level insight, background in supercomputing, and extensive Fibre Channel expertise.'' Ruwart brings over 23 years of experience in the computer and storage industry starting in 1977 with Control Data Corporation. In 1984, Tom spent time at a small start-up company, Edge Computer Corporation, developing storage and graphics I/O subsystem software for a high performance UNIX based engineering/scientific workstation. This was followed by a move to the Minnesota Supercomputer Center in 1986 and then to the University of Minnesota where he served as Assistant Director of the Laboratory for Computational Science and Engineering (LCSE). In that position Tom was instrumental in working with the Fibre Channel community on interoperability issues in the beginning years of that technology. Ciprico designs, manufactures and markets high-performance direct-attached and networked storage solutions, including intelligent disk array hardware, software and services. Ciprico storage solutions are designed for visual computing applications ranging from high-speed image data capture, through processing and analysis, to real-time playback at sustained performance levels. Ciprico is headquartered in Minneapolis, MN.
