For Immediate Release

Santa Fe Springs, CA – Sept 16, 2008 – Enhance Technology USA is now shipping the
flagship UltraStor™ storage system, the 2U 8-disk (RS8) & 3U 16-disk (RS16) high
availability rack mountable storage system, bundled with disks and onsite support.
Intended to provide easy installation, simple management, and next-day service to
the SMB market segment, the populated and service-packed UltraStor™ system is also
widely used by workgroup of enterprises, and offers expandability that greatly
reduced the overall cost of ownership.

The UltraStor™ RAID system is scalable and expandable. Starting half-populated
storage capacity, the UltraStor™ RS system is scalable up to 80 TB with current 1 TB
hard drives. At fewer than 50 cents per gigabyte, it is priced less than competing
products and at a fraction of the cost from Sun, IBM, and HP, presenting an
exceptional value and best cost/capacity ratio. The primary RAID embedded RS RAID
system ships with latest core Intel storage processor, and expansion is done through
daisy-chaining four (4+) RS16 JS JBOD systems via built-in SAS expansion port
(MiniSAS SFP8088), providing dynamic data expansion path.

There are three types of UltraStor™ RAID system that are ready to address customers’
need for storage; respectively, the high performance RS8/16 SS with SAS
connectivity, the high availability RS8/16 FS with Fibre Channel connectivity, and
the high bandwidth RS8/16 P4 with GbE connectivity. All three models are expandable
and are accepting both low cost SATA disks and high reliability SAS disks. The
UltraStor™ RS 8/16 systems have been widely used in data intensive applications such
as backup storage, clustering, near-line storage or off-line archive data vault,
10-bit high definition video-editing, etc. While the RS8/16 SS SAS model produces
the highest throughput and used in backup and clustering environments and the RS8/16
FS Fibre model is largely deployed in SAN application, the latest RS8/16 IP-4 iSCSI
model comes with four (4+) gigabit Ethernet ports and is ideal for IP SAN and
centrally managed storage applications.

Designed to be simple and reliable, Enhance enterprise storage system can be mounted
in minutes and monitored by normal administrative staff and simple manageability is
available through Enhance Technology’s intuitive WebGUI remote storage management
via web browser. While spare kits can be purchased separately that includes
hot-swappable components such as fan and power module, Enhance enterprise solutions
come default with UltraCare™ service offering next day parts replacement, advanced
loaner unit, and 8 x 5 onsite supports. This provides an efficient and cost
effective solution for SMB clients without the burden of hiring a dedicated
technical staff.

The successful UltraStor™ RS system witnesses an ever-growing installed customer
base and has been intensively and extensively validated to be fully interoperable
with most popular hardware such as host bus adapters (HBA), hard disks, switches,
etc., and is compatible with software applications such as SAN and OS virtualization
(VMware). Additional supported Operating Systems now include Microsoft Windows,
Apple OS X, Linux 2.4, and Sun Solaris. Enhance also announced support for Window’s
Multi-path I/O (MPIO) technology, delivering over 1,000 MB/sec performance (based on
SS model).
