Rocket Division Software Announces over 1000 
Customers for StarWind iSCSI Target Software.

Tortola Island, British Virgin Islands, Nov 1, 2007 

Rocket Division Software announces over 1000 paying 
customers are using their iSCSI target software. 
StarWind, which runs on Microsoft Windows, allows 
any server (physical or virtual) to access 
centralized storage, providing a cost-effective 
and easy-to-customize method for implementing 
centralized storage, gaining all the benefits of 
a storage area network (SAN). 

"We were implementing VMware in our corporate data 
center, at the time we were using local storage on 
all our servers and did not have a SAN solution.  
In order to leverage the High Availability, Dynamic 
Resource Scheduling, and VMotion features of VMware 
we needed a shared storage medium such as a Fiber 
Channel or iSCSI SAN.  StarWind was the most often 
referenced and favored iSCSI target mentioned in 
the VMware Technology Network (VMTN) forums," said 
Benjamin D. Craig, VP of Information Systems, 
River City Bank California. "We were so impressed 
with the performance and low cost of StarWind we 
decided to use StarWind in our primary and 
secondary data centers in both our B2B and 
Enterprise DMZ networks."

"StarWind allows us to cost effectively reproduce 
an expensive production SAN in our VMware testing 
lab, which saves us countless hours of manual effort. 
It was just too expensive to purchase additional 
hardware for testing so we were suffering with 
directly attached disks and some cumbersome storage 
management issues surrounding this limitation," said 
Neil Hickey, Network Analyst, IIMAK (International 
Imaging Materials, Inc.) "The speed of iSCSI storage 
and the simplicity to create new storage resources 
for our virtual machines is an indispensable 
component of our testing practices. We've only just 
scratched the surface of StarWind's capabilities, 
I'm particularly impressed with it's seemless 
integration with VMware."

Customers requiring enhanced features such as 
snapshots, replication and additional storage 
capacity can choose between the Standard edition 
for $395, and the Professional edition for $995. 
With the addition of the free StarPort iSCSI 
initiator customers have a single point of 
support for both the server side storage SAN 
and the client side iSCSI agent.

A slimmed down version of StarWind is also available 
as a free download, providing up to 2TB of storage 
capacity, allowing customers to implement iSCSI 
storage in a small production environment before 
deciding on the best configuration for a more robust 
enterprise solution. 

Business of all sizes can benefit from a simpler way 
to perform backups, disaster recovery and simplify 
storage management. StarWind and StarPort support 
industry standard servers and various Microsoft 
Windows operating systems. 

Virtual tape library (VTL) support for StarWind is 
due Q1 2008. VTL feature will allow existing 
tape backup software to backup directly to disk (iSCSI 
storage).
