Mylex Earns 1998 Outstanding Product Award From Performance Computing Magazine Mylex DACPJM RAID Controller Named 'Storage Gem' FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 1998--Mylex Corporation, (Nasdaq:MYLX - news) the world's leading vendor of RAID controllers in the non-captive systems marketplace, today announced that its DACPJM RAID controller has earned Performance Computing's prestigious 1998 Outstanding Product Award. The DACPJM, which is featured on page 29 of the magazine's December issue, is one of only eight products to win the award this year. Mark Hall, editor in chief of Performance Computing, will present the award to Al Montross, Mylex president and CEO, during a ceremony to be held tomorrow at Mylex's world headquarters in Fremont. The DACPJM will be showcased this month at Comdex, Suite N253. The editors complimented the DACPJM for its high performance, fault-tolerance, configuration flexibility, advanced firmware and extensive RAID management tools. According to the editors, ''The controller's performance is among the best you can find and is loaded with features you need. If you are dissatisfied with your server's performance, have narrowed the slowdown to the (RAID) controller, and are ready to swap it out, you might consider evaluating Mylex's DAC960PJ design in its non-OEM package: the DACPJM, which is available through resellers.'' ''We are honored to accept this award,'' said Eric Herzog, vice president of marketing. ''Mylex's DAC960PJ architecture provides advanced fault-tolerance, on-board processing power, and exceptional network connectivity to yield the highest possible performance in mid-range and high-end server environments. This award is a testament to Mylex's industry leading family of RAID controllers.'' DAC960PJ Delivers Record-Setting Performance The DAC960PJ has broken more Transaction Processing Council (TPC-C) world records than any other controller. The DAC960PJ achieves its award-winning performance by combining an onboard 66MHz Intel (Nasdaq:INTC - news) i960RD (r) RISC processor with Mylex's own firmware and RAID accelerator. The DAC960PJ features up to three Ultra SCSI channels, each offering data throughput of up to 40 MB per second per channel. The controller supports memory configurations up to 128 MB and scalable single-server storage capacity up to 810 gigabytes using 18 GB capacity drives.
