Arsenal Digital Solutions™ VIAREMOTE NAMED ONE OF MIDMARKET 'PRODUCTS OF THE YEAR' BY CMP'S VARBUSINESS MAGAZINE
Award Recognizes Arsenal's ViaRemoteT as One of the Best Solutions for Data Protection, Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and Regulatory Compliance

CARY, N.C., May 16, 2005 - Arsenal Digital Solutions™, the leading provider of Storage Management Services (SMS), today was named a midmarket "Product of the Year" by CMP Media's VARBusiness magazine. Arsenal's ViaRemote is a network-based data backup and recovery service that provides secure, bandwidth-efficient, disk-based backup and restore over the Internet or private network. ViaRemote provides fully-managed on demand solutions to ensure data protection, business continuity, disaster recovery and regulatory compliance.

The biweekly magazine that provides strategic insight to technology integrators solicited input from information-technology (IT) vendors and solution providers to determine which products and services were best for midmarket customers - companies with between 100 and 999 employees. Entries were considered and reviewed by VARBusiness editors who selected only 100 of the more than 400 nominated products. ViaRemote is featured and profiled in the special May 2 VARBusiness "State of the Midmarket" issue.

"Our readers tell us that the middle market is one of the fastest-growing IT categories today," said VARBusiness Publisher Robert C. DeMarzo. "ViaRemote is one that best meets that segment's needs."

This recognition is strong validation for ViaRemote's value proposition to the midmarket," said Frank Brick, chairman & CEO of Arsenal Digital Solutions™. "Data is a company's most valuable and critical asset. In today's global business environment data is rarely centralized and instead is often spread across various geographic locations, increasing the risk of its loss. Our remote data protection service provides midmarket businesses with peace of mind that their data will always be available when and where it's needed."
