StoreAge Now on GSA Schedule for State and Federal Government Bids Through Promark Technology; StoreAge VARs Can Now Easily Use Promark Technology's GSA Schedule for Government Sales Opportunities

Business Wire, June 7, 2005

IRVINE, Calif. -- StoreAge Networking Technologies, the leading provider of split-path SAN storage management and advanced multi-tiered, data protection solutions, today announced that through its channel distribution partner, Promark Technology, StoreAge products are now available through the distributor's GSA schedule. StoreAge VARs and Integrators can now pursue state, local and federal government opportunities using Promark's GSA schedule. Promark Technology has long been recognized as a top-tier Value Added Distributor (VAD), offering VARs and Integrators a chance to leverage its GSA pricing and distribution services while maintaining full client control over the proposal and sales process.

"Promark is proud to add StoreAge to our extensive line of GSA scheduled products," said Todd Hartung, vice president of Promark Technology. "The StoreAge series of advanced storage management and data protection products are well-suited to the government's growing need for sophisticated and reliable storage networking solutions."

Three Ways for VARs to Use Promark GSA

First, VARs and Integrators can become Authorized Resellers in the Promark GSA program by applying for authorization through Promark. This option allows the VARs to pursue government opportunities as if it were their own GSA contract and maintain full account control. Second, VARs may also use the Promark GSA schedule as an agent contract by referencing it in government contract bids. The StoreAge GSA is then fulfilled through Promark, with the VAR's margin sent to the reseller after fulfillment. Finally, StoreAge VARs can create a GSA Teaming Agreement with Promark, allowing the VAR to leverage StoreAge products along with solutions offered through their own GSA schedule. Promark's expert government sales staff is ready to assist in not only the fulfillment, but also the sales process for StoreAge products in the government.

"We are happy to be a Promark Technology Partner," said Mark Spowart, president of StoreAge Networking Technologies Inc. "The company's far-ranging government sales experience will be a boon to our loyal VAR and Integrator base seeking to streamline and boost its government sales opportunities."
