Press Release Summary: VARBusiness and ChannelWeb Network name NovaStor as
alternative to market leaders in Data Protection Software


Press Release Body: Simi Valley, USA, Feb 27, 2008-- NovaStor, a leading provider of
software solutions for data availability and protection, today announced it was
named by CMP as a top alternative vendor to market leader Symantec. This
distinction was shared with CA, EMC and Commvault and was highlighted as part of the
article "Attack of the Alternatives," published in the February 18, 2008 issue of
VARBusiness and online by ChannelWeb Network at www.crn.com.

Further, twenty-six companies across all IT segments were highlighted as vendors
VARs should know. NovaStor was listed as the sole data protection software
solution. This presentation was aimed at VARs to let them know there are other
great solutions on the market that don't necessarily come from the market leaders.

The article also noted that resellers aren't always just interested in price and
margin, but performance and innovation as well. NovaStor was spotlighted in the
article by Canadian reseller, Microtrends, due to its products' simplicity, ease of
use, and reliability.

"In recent years our position in the channel has strengthened with our commitment to
a high level of service and support. NovaStor takes great pride in providing simple,
fast and reliable solutions that enable our partners," says Mike Andrews, Managing
Director and EVP of Worldwide Sales at NovaStor. "We are honoured to be recognized
for our efforts by such an influential and trusted source such as CMP and look
forward to expanding our channel network."
