    StorageX 5.0(C) Takes Silver in Storage Management Category for
    Innovative Architecture and Comprehensive Network Data Management

    NuView Inc., an award-winning network data management software vendor, today announced that TechTarget's Storage and SearchStorage.com selected StorageX 5.0(C) for the 2004 silver Products of the Year award in the category of Storage Management.
    According to SearchStorage.com, "StorageX has solidified Houston-based NuView Inc.'s position as a pioneer in global namespace technology. The benefits of a global namespace are clear and compelling: Users (and applications) are shielded from physical storage complexities. Administrators can add, move, rebalance and reconfigure physical storage without affecting how users view and access it. And it provides a platform for developing functions such as data migration, server consolidation and disaster recovery."
    "NuView is extremely proud to be recognized as one of the best products of 2004. This exclusive group sets the benchmark for future innovation and success within the storage management market. This award is testament to NuView's ability to deliver innovation that provides real-world value to administrators and end users," said Rahul Mehta, CEO, NuView.
    A panel of users, industry experts, analysts, consultants and editors from Storage and SearchStorage.com selected the award recipients from "a record number of submissions from a record number of storage vendors." Products were evaluated based on innovation, performance, ease of integration into existing environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value.
    Judges assessed each product on the qualities that enable today's IT professionals to do their jobs better and more efficiently.

    About the Global Namespace

    The StorageX Global Namespace does for files what DNS does for networking - it provides a directory service. This directory service can deliver location-independent services to users and applications across multiple, heterogeneous, distributed file systems. With the StorageX Global Namespace in place, an administrator is able to distribute files in a way that optimizes performance and capacity utilization; clients then access the files via the namespace. When storage is added or consolidated and files are moved or renamed, clients are automatically redirected to the new location, often unaware that the data was moved. This approach dramatically simplifies network data management, as it permanently eliminates the need for desktop reconfiguration, drive letter remapping or modification of login scripts when storage is reconfigured. The StorageX Global Namespace can scale to support an entire corporate environment.
