MESA, Calif., August 31, 2000 - Emulex Corporation today announced
that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested a suspect in
connection with the fictitious Emulex press release issued on August 25. The negative statements in the fraudulent press release resulted in unprecedented volatility in Emulex's stock, creating large losses for shareholders victimized by this hoax. "This kind of electronic terrorism cannot be tolerated. We are very gratified by the swift action taken by the FBI, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)," states Paul Folino, president and CEO. "The matter received immediate and focused attention from both law enforcement agencies and multiple securities' exchanges. The quick results from this cooperative effort demonstrate to others contemplating a similar hoax that the outcome to be expected is immediate apprehension and prosecution." ...Emulex profile Editor's comment:- our readers won't have seen the hoax press release unless they were looking on other sites. We always make sure there's a direct verifiable source for news stories. Kentron Triples Size of Headquarters Wilmington, MA, August 30, 2000 – Kentron Technologies has announced it has tripled the existing size of its headquarters, located at 155 West Street in Wilmington, MA. With the expansion, the fast-growing provider of advanced computer memory architectures is tripling the size of its staff. The added space will accommodate administrative, sales, marketing, product marketing and engineering functions and allow for an expansion of its in-house research and development laboratory. Founded in 1996, Kentron Technologies specializes in the design, engineering and manufacturing of high density present and next-generation memory products and architectures to meet the speed and density requirements of high performance systems. "This is an important step for us and a key move as we continue to strengthen our position as a global player in the advanced memory platform market," said Robert Goodman, CEO of Kentron Technologies. "We continue to develop new products and refine the technologies we have already created. The added lab facilities and the new people we are bringing on board will enable us to build upon that effort." ...Kentron Technologies profile Adaptec Ships PCI-X and Ultra320 SCSI-Ready ASIC MILPITAS, Calif., - August 30, 2000 - Adaptec, Inc. announced today that its Crossbow Ultra160 SCSI ASIC (model named AIC-7899W), which incorporates the same pin-out as its forthcoming PCI-X Ultra320 SCSI controller, is now available. OEMs that incorporate this controller in new server motherboard and PCI RAID adapter designs will avoid the expensive and time-consuming process of redesigning their products to accommodate the upcoming next generation PCI-X and Ultra320 SCSI technologies. Crossbow's packaging is designed for Ultra320 SCSI signaling which is much more demanding than Ultra160 SCSI. The packaging provides cleaner signals and greater design margins over the previous Ultra160 SCSI ASIC. In addition Crossbow is backwards software compatible and runs with all currently released Adaptec drivers. Thus Crossbow provides the highest performance for current designs as well as a migration path to Ultra320 SCSI. "The next big transition in RAID controllers will be to PCI-X and Ultra320 SCSI," said Lee Caswell, vice president for the OEM marketing at Adaptec. "Our RAID customers are looking to Adaptec to open the bandwidth floodgate and offer a smooth transition to the next generation step-ups in performance." The current PCI bus has enough bandwidth for today's dual channel Ultra160 SCSI controllers. However, the forthcoming dual channel Ultra320 SCSI controller will saturate the PCI bus. PCI-X doubles the bus throughput to a full one Gigabyte per second meeting the need for increased bandwidth. Ultra320 SCSI is the next generation of SCSI, the I/O protocol standard for mainstream direct attached storage requirements. Ultra320 SCSI, due out next year, will transfer data at the rate of 320 MB/sec per channel or 640 MB/sec with dual-channel SCSI controllers. This performance is twice the speed of the current SCSI standard. By offering its Crossbow ASIC now, Adaptec is helping to ensure that OEMs are able to migrate seamlessly to Ultra320 SCSI technology when it becomes available in early 2001. ...Adaptec profile Dot Hill Names James Lambert as Sole CEO CARLSBAD, Calif.- August 30, 2000 - Dot Hill Systems Corp. today announced that James Lambert will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer.

"Europe is a growing market for us and the Cambridge office adds to our existing presence there. From this centralized location in an area with a high concentration of technology companies, we can better support our partners and customers across the region." ...OTG Software profile Online Sales of Mass-Storage Products Declined in Q2 MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Aug. 30, 2000 - OneChannel.net today announced that data from its participating retail partners shows a 6.5 percent drop in dollar volume for mass-storage products for Q2, along with a 19.8 percent drop in units sold. Sales in this category have continued to languish in July and August, and similar results are expected for Q3, if current trends continue. The lackluster performance might be attributable to seasonality and supply shortages in the optical component industry. For that reason a smaller percentage of these devices are finding their way to the retail market, resulting in reduced e-commerce sales. Despite the decline in overall sales for the group, there were some bright spots. Flash RAM drives experienced a 32.6 percent increase in sales, and hard disks were up about 5 percent. These increases are more impressive when compared with the losses found in other sub-categories. The full report (including chart) can be viewed by accessing the link above. ...OneChannel.net profile Editor's note:- maybe the participating companies aren't advertising on the right storage focused sites, or maybe the products measured were not those which are currently most popular. See our own top #10 list published recently. Some of our own advertisers have reported seeing annual revenue growths approaching triple digits. So in our view the decline is probably only affecting some specific product segments, and not mass storage "as a whole" which is implied by the headline.

With the new drives installed, ADIC's AML mixed media library family now offers up to 5,180 terabytes (over five petabytes) of native storage and up to 400 drives in a single library. In addition to being a capacity leader, AML libraries with the new LTO technology also set new standards for volumetric efficiency, providing over 6,500GB per square foot of occupied floor space. "Large scale storage systems managers are continually faced with the problem of rapidly growing demands for data storage within existing infrastructure limits, making the deployment of new-generation storage technology a virtual requirement," said Bill Britts, ADIC executive vice president of Sales and Marketing. "For conventional libraries, however, the only possible technology advance is an upgrade of their existing drives. If another manufacturer makes the next big breakthrough, they can't take advantage of it. "That limitation never applies to an AML library since all of them support most drives. Users can add LTO technology to any existing libraries, allowing users to benefit from new technology without major reinvestment. And since AML libraries support simultaneous operation of LTO and other technologies in the same library, users can use both old and new technology together, making comparison and conversion easy." Many in the industry view LTO as a viable alternative to the larger and more expensive performance drive technologies traditionally associated with mainframe storage. At 200GB per cartridge capacity and 108 GB throughput per drive, LTO Ultrium delivers the most storage in the smallest space of any tape technology. And its combination of high throughput and small size makes LTO competitive with the premium drive products in aggregated throughput. With space for 400 drives, the ADIC AML/2 can deliver a native sustained throughput rating of 21 terabytes an hour. In the AML/J, the smallest of the mixed media libraries, LTO library options can scale from 320 to 5,000 cartridges and up to 226 drives. In the AML/2, the series largest model, the range is from 3,840 to 51,840 cartridges and 400 drives. In addition to LTO technology, each of the AML libraries is designed with support for nearly 20 additional drive technologies, including 3590, DLT, SuperDLT, Betacam, DTF, and optical storage. For maximum data availability systems, the AML/2 includes the option of a fully redundant robotics system, making it the only tape library in which every piece of media can be accessed by dual robotics. Integration of LTO Ultrium drives into ADIC AML libraries will be available this Fall. ...ADIC profile Holographic Data Storage Patents FREMONT, Calif.

The new centralized facility, which will initially serve content for both the USA Network and SCI FI Channel, is designed to replace traditional control rooms and analog tape machines with a multi-tier automated computer network optimized for storing, managing, and delivering broadcast content in completely digital format. Conversion to digital server technology will allow USA Cable to store and stage content more efficiently and more automatically than traditional video robotic systems. It also provides scalability, allowing for easy expansion to support additional broadcast projects. The Ampex video archive system will store the 400TB worth of video on 150GB DST cartridges representing the equivalent of tens of thousands of hours of content. John Hennessy, Ampex Data System's director of video and broadcast marketing, noted, "You need a true archive drive to protect your valuable media assets, and it's apparent that USA selected DST drives for their robustness and because they are field proven. In addition, since DST drives are designed to operate under 100% duty cycle, they can withstand the constant loading and unloading dictated by schedules required to support major cable channels such as USA Networks." Hennessy also explained that the Ampex air-lubricated tape guiding mechanism provides gentle tape handling to ensure many years of error free archiving and restoring. "Our customers tell us they have great confidence that what is archived today will easily restore in the future," he added. Perhaps most important, Hennessy said, was the fact that USA Networks is a beneficiary of the many of hours of testing and fine tuning that Ampex, Avalon and Grass Valley performed in their labs on Grass Valley Group's new Profile network-attached archive application. The network-attached archive provides any Profile video server access to any DST drive within the archive. ...Ampex Data Systems profile Auspex Appoints New President Santa Clara, Calif.
