Huge Systems Announces 300% Sales Growth - Appoints New Distributors for European Markets

Posted on: Tuesday, 24 February 2004, 06:00 CST

AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Huge Systems, Inc., a leading storage solutions provider for the content creation, broadcast and delivery markets, has announced a 300% quarter-to-quarter growth and an expansion of its sales and marketing reach into the European markets.

The company disclosed that its fourth quarter sales rose nearly 300% due to the increased demand for its range of high performance, scalable storage solutions. Huge Systems is further expanding its international channel distribution network with the addition of German-based Psiber, Ltd. for the countries of Germany and Austria, and Polar Graphics for the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Huge Systems recognizes the growing need in these countries for access to scalable, high performance storage solutions for a variety of high-bandwidth applications for both HD and SD production. The appointment of Psiber, Ltd. and Polar Graphics will help to expand Huge Systems' visibility and reach into the European markets with a competent and experienced technical sales force already familiar with the their respective territories.

"Huge Systems' revenue and profit growth from the last quarter of 2003 till now are increasing at an impressive rate as our storage products continue to gain worldwide acceptance amongst the digital content creation, broadcast and post production markets," exudes Mike Anderson, CTO of Huge Systems. "We need best-of-breed competent support for products like our new Huge MediaVault(TM) U320-R Max and U320-S Dual Max Disk Arrays, which are specifically designed to address the performance and capacity requirements of SD (Standard Definition) and HD (High Definition) production work, and will most likely set new benchmarks in performance and capacity vs. price. These products, engineered for performance from the ground up while keeping in mind affordability and aimed at specific video based applications, requires a strong value-add from the distributor or value-added reseller."

Anderson continues, "Critical to satisfying this need is the availability of an established seasoned sales and technical support staff familiar with the Huge Systems family of storage products and also the foreign markets in which we look to offer them. Psiber, Ltd. and Polar Graphics more than meet these requirements and are at the pinnacle of their respective markets -- we look forward to working with them to establish and grow Huge Systems' dominance in the video based markets."

Founded in 1999 by Klaus Friz and Joerg Hoffman, Psiber, Ltd. is a value added distributor of storage and backup/archival technologies. The company is recognized with focused expertise in the multimedia and digital video arenas and is affiliated with almost every German and Austrian-based dealer of Avid, Pinnacle, and Declink editing technologies. Psiber, Ltd. possesses a fully- equipped test lab and RMA (Returned Materials Authorization) facility where OEM-authorized repairs, exchanges and upgrades are performed. The distributor also offers users pre- and post-sales technical and sales support.

Based in London, Polar Graphics was founded in 1994 by video industry veteran Peter Rowsell and is a leading distributor of hardware, software and plug-in products for the film, broadcast and multimedia industries in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company's skilled and knowledgeable staff possesses broad backgrounds in manufacturing, R&D, distribution and marketing and will provide Huge Systems with a gateway to the film and video, content creation and broadcast arenas in Britain.
