Able, Inc. Teams with Xiotech to Expand
Network Storage Solutions

New Partnership Offers Award Winning Data Storage to Arizona Technology Market

(January 19, 2007, Chandler, AZ) – Able Information Technologies, Inc. announced today that they have partnered with Xiotech Corporation to add storage area network (SAN) systems to their end-to-end technology solution set targeted for organizations and companies in the state of Arizona. SAN systems allow centralized control of storage resource allocation for all kinds of data, adding flexibility, scalability and ease of use to data management.

With this partnership Able will resell Xiotech’s Magnitude 3D 3000 series and Magnitude 750 storage systems, providing organizations with the ability to select the storage system and functionality that best meets their business demands. The Xiotech systems provide easy-to-manage, flexible and cost effective storage, while ensuring high data performance and reliability.

“SAN storage expands the possibilities for network integration in new and exciting ways, allowing us to respond to our customers’ needs with innovative solutions,” said Brandon Ames, President and CEO of Able.

As an example, Mr. Ames cited the growing number of video surveillance systems installed in school districts to help deal with concerns about security. With the cameras feeding data directly to a SAN, school administrators have an almost unlimited amount of readily accessible and easily searchable information. “SAN systems take up a lot less space than a year’s worth of video tapes,” said Mr. Ames, “and the data won’t degrade over time.”

Xiotech proposed the VAR opportunity to Able last November. “We were looking for a responsive, qualified, customer-oriented technology company to service our existing customers and help us better reach customers in the Arizona market facing storage management challenges,” stated Ron Quarles, Western Area Channel Manager for Xiotech. “With this partnership, together we'll be able to better reach organizations in this key market and bring them the technology solutions and services their businesses demand.”
