SEPATON Wins Two UK Awards for Distinguished Work in the UK Storage Industry

SEPATON's data protection solution awarded The 2008 TechWorld Tape/Backup Product of the Year; Chosen by The 2008 Storage Awards as a company that is 'One to Watch'

Slough, Berkshire, June 24, 2008 -- SEPATON, Inc., the leader in enterprise-class data protection solutions, today announced that it has won two prestigious UK awards in recognition of its outstanding work in the UK storage industry.  In winning The 2008 Storage Awards, or Storries V, SEPATON was chosen as 'One to Watch' for its impressive array of storage technologies. SEPATON also won The 2008 TechWorld Award, beating out fierce competition to take the Tape/Backup Product of the Year Award.

"These awards validate SEPATON’s focus on delivering enterprise-class data protection solutions to the UK market," said Mike Worhach, CEO of SEPATON. "With the sheer rate of data growth and the pressing need in the UK for energy efficient IT services, organisations increasingly have to rethink how they store, manage and protect all types of information. We’re honoured to be recognised by industry experts at both Storage Magazine and TechWorld as a leader in the UK data protection market."

For the fifth year running, The Storage Awards (The Storries V) 2008 is where individuals and organisations received industry-wide recognition before an audience of their peers. The winners were elected by the readership of Storage Magazine – the UK's number one IT storage magazine – with over 6,000 Storage Magazine readers casting in excess of 25,000 votes for their favourite companies/technologies.

The 2008 Techworld Awards have become the premiere event in the networking and infrastructure calendar and recognises both products and users on all sides of the IT industry. Now in its 13th year, the Techworld Awards select the products and users from the European IT industry that have made a significant difference.  Judging consists of an independent panel of industry luminaries and the editorial board of Techworld.com, who convene over a period of weeks to scrutinize the entries and select those which best satisfy the specified criteria.
