Agreement Enables Solid Data to Provide Fully Integrated, 24x7 Service and Support to End-Users and Channel Partners

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (January 13, 2003) - Solid Data Systems, the leader in solid-state storage systems, today announced that it has signed a two-year service and support agreement with Anacomp­, Inc., a global provider of information outsourcing, maintenance support, and imaging and printing solutions. The agreement allows Solid Data to extend its service and support coverage to include global, integrated support provided via Anacomp. Customers who purchase their Solid Data systems through reseller arrangements with the major server vendors will continue to have the option of receiving service through those parties.

"We are committed to providing our customers and resellers with the best support possible, and we believe Anacomp has set the standard for customer satisfaction in global on-site support," said Stan Singer, senior customer support manager for Solid Data Systems. "Anacomp's excellence in field engineering, logistics management, engineer training and certification will enable Solid Data to provide our customers with a world-class, global support organization."

By extending its service and support coverage with Anacomp, Solid Data end-users and channel partners will receive access to a fully integrated 24x7 call center staffed by experienced, quality-driven technical support engineers who will be available for immediate response. For additional support, field engineers can be dispatched on-site to diagnose faults, carry out repairs and re-test devices, eliminating the time and expense often associated with equipment repair. End-users of Solid Data products will also experience minimal overhead and downtime due to quick and qualified problem resolution, and resellers will receive best-in-class global support from a platform neutral partner.

"We are pleased that Solid Data Systems has chosen Anacomp to extend its service offerings," said Hans Hedfeld, senior vice president of multi-vendor services for Anacomp. "Solid Data's industry leading technology, combined with Anacomp's reputation for service excellence, is a great match for transaction intensive, mission-critical environments."
