Genesis RAID Manager Gives Users Total Control of Storage; Access Genesis From Anywhere Via the Internet With an Easy-to-Use, Java-Based GUI

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 1999--MicroNet Technology, Inc., a leading innovator in storage solutions, today announces Genesis RAID Manager, a user-friendly GUI (graphical user interface) that allows remote administration of storage using a Java-enabled browser. With Genesis RAID Manager, users can access the RAID system from anywhere in the world via the Internet, or locally via ethernet, for set-up unit monitoring, failure notification and troubleshooting. Employing an easy-to-use GUI with point-and-click operations, training time for system management is cut to a minimum.

Genesis RAID Manager is a powerful remote and local management application, which allows the administrator complete access to all the features and functionality the product offers. Genesis RAID Manager will notify the system administrator of a drive or system failure via e-mail, pager or alarm. Events are described as they occur, in easy-to-understand language. The administrator can then access Genesis from any Java-enabled browser or operating system, eliminating the need for proprietary client software. The system is made secure with encrypted password protection, ensuring that only the designated administrator can access the Genesis system.

Genesis RAID Manager allows users to browse vital details about the Genesis system such as unit temperature, drive status, power supplies and fans, and view, create and modify RAID sets. Criteria such as user ID passwords, IP address, Genesis name, date and time formats are all easily configurable through the GUI. Additionally, Genesis RAID Manager allows administration of multiple RAID sets from a single window with no scrolling, to simplify storage management.

MicroNet's Genesis is an innovative, high-capacity RAID system, available with capacities ranging from 63GB to one terabyte. MicroNet pre-configures each Genesis system and offers a wide variety of systems to meet varying demands. Genesis ranges in price from $15,995 to $161,995 SRP, and is available now from qualified MicroNet resellers and VARs.

In related news, MicroNet's GenesisONE will be on display at Ampex Data Systems' booth no. L10634. Ampex Data Systems Corporation, another wholly-owned subsidiary of Ampex Corporation, is one of the world's leading providers of technologies for the acquisition, storage and processing of visual information.

1.MicroNet Announces Seamless Disk Array Transport for DataDock Family; Offers Cross-Platform Capability Between Macintosh and Windows NT Workstations

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 1999--MicroNet Technology, Inc., a leading innovator in storage technology, announced that it has added cross-platform file access to its DataDock(R) family of removable module storage products. This capability provides a fast and easy way to access and share Macintosh projects on disk arrays with Windows NT. DataDock modules can easily be moved between DataDock units, allowing users to commonly view files, regardless of platform. The DataDock system is a primary storage solution that is ideal for digital video, prepress and other business professionals who need to transport large video, data or intricate graphic files between workstations - whether desktop to desktop, or to a remote workstation.

DataDock units allow Windows NT users to access the files created on mirrored or striped (RAID 0/1) disk arrays with ExpressRAID for DataDock - MicroNet's drive management utility for the Macintosh. Because DataDock units operate transparently, files created by multi-platform application programs, or similar file types, can be copied, opened, saved and renamed on the drives at any time.

Creative professionals will benefit from this time-saving enhancement by using a module to move files rather than sending them over the network. With DataDock products, these professionals will experience complete compatibility and increased productivity while preserving file integrity. DataDock modules automatically appear as icons on the desktop for Macintosh users. For Windows NT, Windows 98 and Windows 95 users, the Program Manager automatically displays the directory of modules.

The DataDock solution with cross-platform capability will be available in May. The DataDock system is available at an SRP starting at $735. In related news, MicroNet's GenesisONE system will be on display at Ampex Data Systems' booth, No. L10634. Ampex Data Systems Corporation, another wholly-owned subsidiary of Ampex Corporation, is one of the world's leading providers of technologies for the acquisition, storage and processing of visual information.

2.MicroNet Debuts GenesisONE FC; A Fibre Channel Native Disk Array at NAB

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 1999--MicroNet Technology, Inc., a leading innovator in storage technology, today announces that its GenesisONE FC array will be available as a pure Fibre Channel system. The GenesisONE FC system gives users true data transfer speeds of up to 100MB/sec, and 200MB/sec point-to-point throughput in a full duplex configuration. Additional benefits include increased cable lengths and the ability to attach up to 126 devices on a single loop. The GenesisONE FC unit is a platform and OS-independent system that is easy to install and manage, and can support striping and mirroring (RAID 0/1) with RAID software support. The system can be configured with seven Fibre Channel drives with 9, 18 or 36GB capacities for up to 250 GB per system. The GenesisONE FC system incorporates a flexible design that supports configurations that are scalable to terabytes. The GenesisONE FC system will begin shipping mid-June, and will be available from qualified MicroNet resellers and VARs.

The GenesisONE FC array is a high-performance system, optimized for digital content creation, non-linear editing and post production. Eliminating common bottleneck issues, the GenesisONE FC system has a maximum bandwidth of 200MB/sec in a dual loop FC-AL configuration or 100MB/sec in a single loop environment. The 10,000-meter maximum cable length ensures that any user can connect seamlessly and efficiently to the array and still benefit from the increased bandwidth. With its rugged and attractive industrial design, and ability to be configured as a rack mount or tower, the system is an ideal addition to any digital content creation facility.

Based on MicroNet's award-winning DataDock family, the GenesisONE FC disk array is completely scalable to meet varying user needs. The GenesisONE FC system features MicroNet's unique drive latching function and a temperature monitoring system to ensure that the system stays within user defined parameters. As a platform and OS-independent system, the GenesisONE FC disk array is compatible with leading operating systems including Mac OS, Windows NT, UNIX, Linux, Solaris and Sun. Pricing for the GenesisONE FC system will be announced prior to shipment.
