SBEI Sbe (MM)

SBE Inc. (NASDAQ:SBEI), a provider of IP-based storage software solutions for next-generation storage systems, and emBoot Inc., a pioneer in delivering network boot capabilities, today announced that SBE�s IP SAN Director Suite has been added to emBoot�s list of supported iSCSI targets for winBoot/i. Using winBoot/i, SBE customers can now boot any Microsoft Windows 2003 server from iSCSI storage to simplify server management, reduce costs, and deploy more robust disaster recovery solutions. IP SAN Director Suite users can utilize winBoot/i to boot physical or virtual servers running Microsoft Windows 2003 to accelerate initial deployments and server upgrades, significantly lower total operating costs, reduce risk, and improve their ability to recover from business threatening disasters. winBoot/i enables iSCSI boot using standard network interface cards instead of more costly specialized HBAs. �We are very pleased to be partnering with emBoot to bring the many benefits of iSCSI boot to our customers by certifying the IP SAN Director Suite with winBoot/i,� said Greg Yamamoto, CEO of SBE, Inc. �Our customers can now realize even more business value from their investment in our iSCSI storage solution.� "Every business large or small can generate significant measurable benefits from their implementation of an iSCSI SAN in combination with iSCSI boot using winBoot/i,� said George Kostiuk, CEO of emBoot Inc. �Without requiring an investment in specialized network cards, SBE customers can now centrally manage their Windows 2003 boot images to improve their bottom lines and improve the survivability of the business if disaster strikes.� SBE will be demonstrating its IP SAN Director Suite at Storage Networking World Fall 2006 (Booth #C30). emBoot will also be participating in this event demonstrating the benefits of iSCSI boot using netBoot/i and winBoot/i in Booth #PP21.
