Press Release Summary: Offers Guaranteed Data Security, Support for Intranet and
Extranet Systems

Press Release Body: San Diego - June 18, 2008 - StoneFlyT, Inc., a leading supplier
of integrated IP storage area network (SAN) systems and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Dynamic Network Factory, Inc. (DNF), today introduced SAN-based encryption
capabilities that give enterprise customers another layer of protection in combating
damaging internal and external security breaches while also simplifying compliance
initiatives. Now available as an integrated part of the StoneFly Integrated Storage
Concentrator (ISC) line of high-availability IP SANs, the new SAN-based encryption
will also be offered with other StoneFly IP SANs later this year.

"There is a widely-held belief that the internal network is safe, and that
additional disk protection is unnecessary to protect SANs residing on the corporate
intranet. The reality is that the internal network isn't as secure as we once
thought, and protecting all disks in an organization -- from desktops, to notebooks
and server data - simply makes good business sense," said Bahman Jalali, Director of
Product Management for StoneFly.

According to a recently published Verizon Business study of hundreds of corporate
data breach incidents, most security intrusions were perpetrated by external
sources, but breaches attributed to insiders showed far greater consequences.

"It is essential today that organizations ensure that information vulnerabilities
are eliminated across all facets of the enterprise. SAN encryption adds another
level of protection to prevent compromises against internal systems, and it does
this much more cost-effectively than host-based encryption solutions," said Jalali.

The encrypted StoneFly ISC is ideal for organizations with multiple servers using
host-based encryption or multiple database servers holding sensitive data that can
be consolidated on the SAN. IP SAN-based encryption can also simplify efforts to
support compliance regulations for HIPAA and the SEC. In addition, it is
recommended for protecting video surveillance footage in high-security locations for
financial institutions, research and development labs, manufacturing facilities,
power plants and utility operations, datacenters and government facilities.

Service providers, software-as-a-service (SaaS) vendors, outsourced accounting or
financial service firms and collection agencies are also target customers.

Offering support for both encrypted and non-encrypted volumes simultaneously,
StoneFly's new capabilities deliver Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 as well
as iSCSI volume-based encryption to consolidate key management to the IP SAN.
Additional features include secure, unique key generation and removable key storage.


StoneFly's encryption capabilities combine with the advanced storage management
functionalities inherent in StoneFusionT, the company's Intelligent Network Storage
Platform. StoneFusion offers comprehensive storage services, including support for
the VMware iSCSI initiator; StoneFly SnapshotT; and StoneFly ReflectionT, for
synchronous and asynchronous mirroring. Providing block-level virtualization,
StoneFusion also features centralized storage management, storage consolidation,
access control, volume management and provisioning to present SAN storage to hosts
as a local disk.

StoneFly's ISC is a cost-effective IP SAN designed for small offices, remote sites,
branch offices and first-time IP SAN deployments. With RAID protection and redundant
components, the ISC offers an ideal platform for storage consolidation, virtual
server storage, disaster recovery, and disk-based backups. ISCs are available in
four configurations with 4, 8, 16, or 24 SATA drives or Transaction Edition Disk
(TED) disk drives for up to 24TB in one system.
Now available, StoneFly SAN encryption is offered at an add-on cost of $2,500 per
ISC IP SAN system.
