Storage Computer Corporation (AMEX: SOS) (www.storage.com), a provider of high-performance storage and data management software, announced today it has released CyberNAS 64/Cluster network attached storage software for the high performance computing market.

"The AMD Opteron(TM) processor with its advanced Hypertransport technology powers CyberNAS 64/Cluster software into ground breaking storage management terabit performance and petabyte usable online capacity," stated Sean Murphy, VP Product Development. "CyberNAS 64/Cluster software supports up to 300 storage nodes per cluster with projected aggregate bandwidth up to 10 terabits per second on multiple 10Gigabit Ethernet connections. Its capacity is scalable to 9 petabytes."

"With servers based on AMD Opteron processors and CyberNAS 64, customers have a powerful, flexible storage solutions for even the largest clusters. Especially for customers managing large datasets, such as digital video, audio or graphics, AMD Opteron and CyberNAS 64 provide a compelling solution," said Ben Williams, director, server/workstation segment, AMD's Microprocessor Business Unit.

"Breaking out of the limitations of 32 bit architectures allows our customers to move to the next level of storage performance and functionality," stated Ricardo Velez-McCaskey, CTO of Storage Computer. "It is imperative for HPC (high performance computing) environments to have strong storage options designed to accommodate their challenging needs. CyberNAS 64/Cluster is available now to compute cluster manufactures on an OEM basis."

Storage Computer will be showcasing CyberNAS 3.0 at Linux World 2004 (http://www.linuxworldexpo.com) in NewYork, NY January 21st-23rd in the AMD Booth #413.
