File System for Apple Xsan Broadens Client Support to Include SGI IRIX and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 4.0



Bangalore, October 26th , 2006 - Quantum Corp. (NYSE:DSS), the leading global
specialist in backup, recovery and archive, today introduced the latest version of
its StorNext® FX data management software, which allows broader data sharing and
workflow consolidation in Apple® XsanT environments to include applications running
on other operating systems such as Linux, Windows®, and UNIX. With today's
introduction of StorNext FX version 1.4, Quantum has added client support for SGI
IRIX 6.5.29 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 4.0, Update 3.



"A key benefit of StorNext FX is its ability to enhance collaboration and streamline
workflow by allowing Xsan environments to support applications that require non-Mac
operating systems, resulting in more efficient customer project management," said
Paul Zuhorski, director, software products for Quantum. "By reducing storage
complexity and consolidating disk resources, customers who use StorNext FX find cost
savings as well."



Customers use StorNext FX to streamline production by eliminating time-consuming
network file transfers and offering concurrent access to data between Apple Xsan and
all major Linux, Windows and UNIX platforms. Customers also benefit from reduced
storage complexity and associated costs by eliminating the need to manage separate
storage volumes on individual hosts and enabling standardization of cross-company
business processes. Ideal for data-intensive industries, StorNext® FX is a critical
component of company-wide Xsan installations because it allows non-Apple systems and
applications to rapidly share data within an Apple environment.



In addition to Mac OS X, StorNext FX 1.4 also provides support for Microsoft®
Windows, Red Hat® and Novell® SUSET Linux, SGI® IRIX®, Sun SolarisT, HP-UX, IBM®
AIX®, and Cray® UNICOS/mpT. StorNext FX 1.4 is available now through Quantum's
worldwide network of partners.
