Pegasus expands resellers in EMEA

Johannesburg, 21 May 2004

Pegasus announced today that it has appointed Inside Information Systems (IIS), a leading value-added distributor for storage management solutions, as a new distributor in southern Africa. This agreement will expand the potential market for Pegasus` InveStore archive management software and enable IIS to offer a sophisticated archiving solution in the region.

IIS offers a focused range of storage management technologies and solutions from well-established manufacturers. The company`s primary customer base is comprised of value-added resellers (VARs) and partners who distribute, develop, support and implement digital imaging and archiving solutions into vertical IT markets such as document imaging, records management, archiving and other content management markets.

IIS is constantly seeking to provide more comprehensive solutions for its partners by embracing leading archival storage offerings. As the need to manage and archive large amounts of data continues to increase, IIS made the decision to partner with Pegasus to further enhance its offerings in order to provide its customers with complete archiving solutions encompassing consulting, development, hardware, software and support services.

"Our experience gained by implementing and supporting Pegasus solutions since 1994 has shown them to be a corporation that shares our dedication to excellence in providing data storage solutions to our customers," said Alan Leader, Managing Director of IIS. "I`m confident that our customers will embrace the data protection archive solutions offering of Pegasus Disk Technologies, Inc."

Roy Slicker, President and CEO of Pegasus, states: "IIS is considered to be a leading, well respected and focused distributor of storage management products and services in SA and we are very pleased to be working with the organisation. IIS has strong presence implementing and supporting archival storage solutions in the Windows marketplace, and this complements Pegasus` product line, which is available for Windows NT, XP, 2000 and 2003. The partnership between the two companies will enhance the presence of Pegasus and increase the market opportunities for InveStore."
