      SBE Inc. (NASDAQ:SBEI), a provider of IP-based storage software 
      solutions for next-generation storage systems, and emBoot Inc., a 
      pioneer in delivering network boot capabilities, today announced that SBE’s 
      IP SAN Director Suite has been added to emBoot’s 
      list of supported iSCSI targets for winBoot/i. Using winBoot/i, SBE 
      customers can now boot any Microsoft Windows 2003 server from iSCSI 
      storage to simplify server management, reduce costs, and deploy more 
      robust disaster recovery solutions.
    
    
      IP SAN Director Suite users can utilize winBoot/i to boot physical or 
      virtual servers running Microsoft Windows 2003 to accelerate initial 
      deployments and server upgrades, significantly lower total operating 
      costs, reduce risk, and improve their ability to recover from business 
      threatening disasters. winBoot/i enables iSCSI boot using standard 
      network interface cards instead of more costly specialized HBAs.
    
    
      “We are very pleased to be partnering with 
      emBoot to bring the many benefits of iSCSI boot to our customers by 
      certifying the IP SAN Director Suite with winBoot/i,” 
      said Greg Yamamoto, CEO of SBE, Inc. “Our 
      customers can now realize even more business value from their investment 
      in our iSCSI storage solution.”
    
    
      "Every business large or small can generate significant 
      measurable benefits from their implementation of an iSCSI SAN in 
      combination with iSCSI boot using winBoot/i,” 
      said George Kostiuk, CEO of emBoot Inc. “Without 
      requiring an investment in specialized network cards, SBE customers can 
      now centrally manage their Windows 2003 boot images to improve their 
      bottom lines and improve the survivability of the business if disaster 
      strikes.”
    
    
      SBE will be demonstrating its IP SAN Director Suite at Storage 
      Networking World Fall 2006 (Booth #C30). emBoot will also be 
      participating in this event demonstrating the benefits of iSCSI boot 
      using netBoot/i and winBoot/i in Booth #PP21.
