FUSIONSTORM JOINS THE MONOSPHERE® AUTHORIZED PARTNER PROGRAM

MONOSPHERE STORAGE HORIZON PROVIDES STORAGE CAPACITY PLANNING CAPABILITIES TO FUSIONSTORM’S IT SOLUTIONS AND SERVICES

Redwood City, CA July 12, 2006 – MonoSphere® Inc., an independent storage management software innovator, today announced that FusionStorm, systems integrator and managed service provider, has joined the MonoSphere Authorized Partner Program.

MonoSphere Storage Horizon software is used by enterprises as the centerpiece of their systematic storage capacity planning processes aimed at drastically reducing their CapEx spending for storage infrastructure. Since storage demand has been too difficult to project, administrators have significantly over provisioned storage to avoid shortages. This has resulted in unacceptably wasteful average storage usage of 40%. Storage Horizon helps IT organizations directly target this expensive low utilization problem, achieve greater value from their existing storage assets, and significantly reduce CapEx spending.

“FusionStorm combines best-of-breed technology products from leading vendors with a full suite of IT solutions and managed services to help our customers save money and grow their businesses,” said John Varel, CEO of FusionStorm. “Storage Horizon will enable us to help our customers achieve greater efficiencies in their current storage infrastructures and ensure future storage purchases are cost-effective.” Varel added, “In addition, this will speed the delivery of our newest managed storage and managed application hosting offerings to our clients.”

“With the winning combination of FusionStorm’s service, managed services and support and the award-winning Storage Horizon software, IT management can save on storage CapEx spending while administrators can proactively plan for capacity growth and reduce the high rate of change and disruptions in the storage environment,” said Ralph Hubregsen, MonoSphere’s Vice President of Business Development. “Creating these types of synergies shows the real value of the MonoSphere Authorized Partner Program.”
