Sanbolic Announces Support for Windows Vista
Melio Cluster file system and LaScala clustered volume manager support Windows Vista 32 bit and 64 bit.

Watertown , MA September 27, 2006 –Sanbolic, Inc., a leading developer of software to simplify and share storage area networks (SANs), today announced support for Windows Vista in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.

Sanbolic’s Melio file system and LaScala volume manager enable end-users to aggregate multiple storage arrays into a centrally managed pool of storage and provide multiple Windows workstations or servers concurrent read-and-write access to data over Fibre Channel or iSCSI connections. Many graphics, video and engineering workstation applications with demanding storage bandwidth requirements benefit from central assignment and/or shared access to very
large content files.

“SAN storage is becoming increasingly important for our Windows workstation customers running demanding engineering and media applications,” said Dr. Claude Lorenson, group product manager, Storage Technologies at Microsoft Corp. “We are very pleased that Sanbolic will have its clustered file system available to our customers as they deploy Windows Vista.”

Sanbolic software currently supports Microsoft Windows Server 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003, including Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2. Sanbolic distributes its product solutions worldwide through a network of distributors, original equipment manufacturers, value-added resellers and system integrators.

Sanbolic will show its products at Storage Decisions in New York in the Microsoft Pavilion, booth 900D, September 27-29. The demonstration will highlight the use of Melio clustered file system to enable dynamic migration of Microsoft Windows Virtual Server 2005 state across physical hosts.
