The emulator fits in any
standard tape drive bay and is recognized by the host, backup software and
storage management software as a standard tape drive. GST's new Ethernet Adapter family
fills a gap left when IBM discontinued their FC2975 Ethernet Feature
card providing 1Gigabit network access.

Additionally, ComplianceVault archives and
indexes those e-mail messages to tape at intervals specific to the needs of
the company. Key benefits include:

-- Value -- users' previous investment in automated tape libraries is
extended
-- Gradual implementation -- there is no need to buy all the storage
capacity up front
-- Low complexity and scalability
- Very flexible configurations -- easily changed by inserting or
removing tape and Ulysses drives
- No training required -- looks to independent software vendor (ISV)
software as a tape drive, so there are no changes to the backup
processes
- Very easy to tune/load balance the systems -- by adding more
drives
- Scalable -- since cartridges are removable, storage can be easily,
quickly and inexpensively increased without requiring more floor
space.

Launched in December 2005, with partners Intradyn and Exabyte, the Imation
ComplianceVault appliance is a complete, bundled solution with a single
upfront cost, unlike competitive offerings that require customers to pay
ongoing per-user license fees and software maintenance costs.
-- Simple backups -- backups can be written to a Ulysses drive then
migrated using existing ISV software to high capacity tape later for
disaster recovery or long term retention
-- Environmentally friendly -- disk cartridges do not use power when they
are idle
-- Support -- Imation and its partners are well-established companies
that understand the backup environment and media business

Because the Ulysses tape drive emulator emulates an LTO drive and the
Ulysses media has the same form factor as LTO Ultrium cartridges, users can
simply "drop in" the Ulysses cartridge into the existing automated tape
environment with no changes to floor space, wiring, cooling or other
infrastructure challenges.
