Press Release Summary: Unified Storage Platform Simplifies Management, Improves
Performance and Eases Deployment; SAS Support Now Available

Press Release Body: Hayward, Calif. -- July 15, 2008 -- Dynamic Network Factory,
Inc. (DNF), a leading maker of high-performance network attached storage (NAS),
storage area networks (SANs), RAID and iSCSI systems, today introduced new backup
and data archiving capabilities for its StorBank-XL line of hybrid appliances, which
combine NAS and iSCSI in a single, unified IP storage platform. The company will
also add support for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives this month to broaden the
line's flexibility for primary and secondary storage applications.

The StorBank-XL product line consists of seven models designed to support a broad
range of storage needs for rapidly growing small to mid-size organizations. Offering
high performance, advanced functionality and high reliability, StorBank-XL features
an intuitive user interface, easy system backup, remote replication and point in
time snapshots, making it ideal for disaster recovery and disk-to-disk backup. The
updated StorBank-XL supports network data management protocol (NDMP) to enable
advanced backup functionality and easier integration into each organization's
existing backup process, reducing backup windows and centralizing management.

StorBank-XL now also features Write Once Read Many (WORM) iSCSI volumes and file
shares for efficient compliance and data archiving. With WORM, critical data is
protected from erasure and tampering, whether it is sensitive, archive or backup
information.

DNF has also reduced hardware requirements on the StorBank-XL line by consolidating
file and block storage systems into a single platform. As a single appliance with
unified storage, StorBank-XL supports NAS and iSCSI for both file and block storage
needs, resulting in simplified management, enhanced performance, and easy
deployment.

In July, StorBank-XL will ship with configurations using SATA as well as 10,000- or
15,000-RPM SAS drives, making the systems ideal for transaction-intensive
applications, high-definition video streaming and other business-critical
deployments requiring high disk performance. SAS also provides improved options for
tiered storage flexibility.

Key high-performance NAS features on the StorBank-XL include single or dual Intel
second-generation Quad-Core Xeon processors, up to 4GB of fully-buffered system
memory with error correction, and dual copper gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

Pricing for the StorBank-XL product line starts at $3,300. For more information,
