Press Release Body: ParaScale, Inc. (www.parascale.com), a startup company
developing cloud storage solutions for deep content archives and rich-media content
in traffic-intense applications, announced today that it will co-host a
complimentary webinar with IDC entitled, EURCloud Storage 102 EUR" An Introduction to
Cloud Storage,EUR featuring Noemi Greyzdorf, IDC storage analyst. This live
presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 12 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m.
CT / 9:00 a.m. PT.

Ms. Greyzdorf will share IDCEUR(tm)s latest insights on the emergence of cloud storage and
how it can complement todayEUR(tm)s tier 1 storage solutions by addressing the explosion
in unstructured data including digital content and archival data. During this
one-hour webinar, attendees will learn:

EUR What is cloud storage?
EUR For what kind of data and workload is cloud storage most suited?
EUR Where is cloud storage a poor fit?
EUR What factors should you consider before implementing cloud storage?
EUR How do private clouds or corporate clouds compare with large commercial public
cloud service offerings?

Ms. Greyzdorf will lead off this highly educational session by sharing her market
insights and usage trends. This will be followed by an overview from ParaScaleEUR(tm)s
CEO, Sajai Krishnan, about the various types of clustered NAS systems and how cloud
storage as an architecture is different. The session is relevant to enterprise IT
managers interested in building their own private cloud behind their corporate
firewall, as well as to service providers looking to deliver different kinds of
cloud storage services based on application-tuned public clouds.

EURFundamentally cloud storage is about delivering storage as a service, which means
easily scaling capacity and performance accessible over standard networks (public
Internet or private Intranet). Whether cloud storage is delivered internally or
externally, the provider achieves scalability by adding standard hardware,EUR
explained Ms. Greyzdorf. EURInterest in cloud storage is intensifying as a result of
tighter budgets and a desire to increase resource utilization. The continued
explosion in creation and retention of unstructured data, partially as a result of
backup and restore, analytics, test and development, disaster recovery, and
archiving multiple copies of the data, are driving the innovation in storage systems
and services (cloud storage, clustered storage) over the next five years.EUR
