SAN DIEGO, -- StoragePoint today released a storage industry breakthrough that meets the demand for fully encrypted, multi-device, web access to files stored in a corporate data center. WebSAN is a powerful software package that complements corporate file servers by providing controlled Internet access to users' files at lower cost, with better security and from more devices than Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or direct dial-in products.

StoragePoint's patent-pending WebSAN is a unique solution that connects remote offices, mobile workers, and telecommuters to corporate storage assets. Because it works with either in-house or outsourced data centers, WebSAN is applicable to every level of enterprise. Innovative reporting and administrative capabilities help IT personnel manage, control, and predict storage requirements by individuals or workgroups. Storage expenses can be allocated to departments for improved cost control.

"Mobile employees are gung-ho for wireless Web gizmos and companies are struggling to deliver 'anytime-access' to corporate data. Progressive companies realize that multi-device access is the next milestone in the journey toward high-availability (HA). For corporate data centers, HA is useless without access," said Scott Zimmerman, chief executive officer of StoragePoint, one of the top-ten e-commerce companies in San Diego. "WebSAN offers unparalleled information access when and where it's needed and permitted."

Strategy Analytics predicts the wireless Internet industry will grow to $200 billion by 2004. During this time the demand for corporate storage will continue to grow at phenomenal rates. In a nutshell, StoragePoint's WebSAN is the secure software solution that meets the demand created by the intersection of these two undeniable market trends.

StoragePoint, founded in 1998, is an independent software vendor (ISV) and a storage service provider (SSP) offering fast, on-line, encrypted virtual storage and access technology for businesses. With StoragePoint's WebSAN and WebDrive, users can access their virtual disk for storing, sharing and accessing folders through a Web browser on any device with an Internet connection. The company's WebDrive for Windows enables users to access their files easily from Windows. StoragePoint's wireless WebDrive won "Best of Show" at Internet World in July 2000 for providing the only secure file manager available for WAP phones.
