Arsenal Digital Solutions™' VIARECOVERY RECEIVES HONORABLE MENTION IN COMPUTERWORLD HORIZON AWARDS PROGRAM

Storage Industry's First Fully-Managed Rapid Server Recovery Service Recognized for its Ability to Enable Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

CARY, N.C.– September 12, 2005 — Arsenal Digital Solutions™, the leading provider of Storage Management Services (SMS), today announced that its ViaRecoveryT service has been selected as one of 20 Honorable Mentions in IDG's Computerworld Horizon Awards. The Horizon Awards, which recognize the developers of important new information technologies, appear in the September 12th issue of Computerworld and online at www.computerworld.com.

ViaRecovery is the storage industry's first fully-managed, on-demand rapid server recovery service for business continuity and disaster recovery. The automated solution enables organizations to complete a secure bare metal recovery of business-critical server operating systems, applications, and data up to 80 percent faster than traditional methods.

With the launch of the efficient, turnkey service in April 2005, Arsenal Digital Solutions™ now offers the only suite of fully managed, on-demand Storage Management Services to protect geographically dispersed server operating systems, applications, files and databases, both onsite and remotely. These services provide customers the fastest, most reliable, secure and cost-effective data protection solutions for business continuity, disaster recovery and regulatory compliance.

"This year's Horizon Award winners exemplify the most notable technologies that will potentially impact both consumers and enterprises in the coming years," said Don Tennant, editor in chief of Computerworld.

"We are honored that Computerworld views ViaRecovery as one of today's important new information technologies," said Frank Brick, chairman and CEO, Arsenal Digital Solutions™. "Recovering servers is an arduous process, requires great human intervention and can sometimes take days to come back online - if at all. By leveraging our robust storage services network and expertise, we aim to make server outages a pain point of the past."

ViaRecovery is available through Arsenal's worldwide network of solution providers, which includes leading hosting, telecommunication service providers, OEM's and Value Added Resellers.
