New Functionality Provides Up to 10X Faster Ability to Find Content in Files and Email

AUSTIN, Texas – April 4, 2006 – StoredIQ, Inc. the leading provider of automated Information Classification and Management (ICM) solutions, today announced version 3.6 of its ICM 5000TM information server. In addition to the company’s single CPU server, StoredIQ now gives customers faster high-precision classification, management and policy actions with new four-node and eight-node cluster options. These new servers increase throughput, accelerating content and context-based classification and management on millions of unmanaged files and email.

“Organizations are becoming buried under the amount of information accumulating at a rapid rate across the enterprise,” said Greg Schulz, founder and senior analyst at StorageIO Group. “Not only is much of this information redundant and presents an unnecessary burden on storage and resources, but it also exposes these organizations to regulatory and legal scrutiny.”

The ICM5004 and ICM5008 cluster solutions deliver industry-leading low-cost administration, ease-of-use and performance features. The cluster design’s high availability capability is ideal for administrators because a problem node does not affect the operation of the remaining nodes. In addition, the virtualization of the volumes being searched for content means the classification work is spread amongst multiple processors, allowing work to be done concurrently and jobs completed faster.

“StoredIQ’s quality ICM platform sets itself apart from all other offerings within the industry because we go well beyond classification based merely on metadata,” said Dave Davenport, CEO at StoredIQ. “Our newest cluster solutions further raise the bar for high-performance classification and management, by increasing the speed and administration capabilities of our advanced classification system.”

The StoredIQ Information, Classification and Management Platform is unique from other solutions in that the software uses natural language processing to find critical content within files and email. Natural language processing uses advanced concept and context-based discovery when searching for terms and names so that the information found is more precise and thorough to the classification search than more traditional methods. StoredIQ is also the only ICM software that comes with pre-configured classification modules that speed up implementation and the resulting discovery and classification of common regulatory and internal policy classifications.

StoredIQ is the leading provider of enterprise information classification and management solutions for unstructured information. These solutions provide for visibility and control of unstructured objects – files and email - and allow organizations to effectively understand their value or risk and, therefore, take management action according to business policy. The company was founded in 2001, is privately held and is located in Austin, Texas. For more information, visit www.storediq.com
