IceWEB Channel Partner VideoBank Lands Order From Department of Defense Agency

STERLING, Va., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IceWEB, Inc.™ (OTC Bulletin Board: IWEB), www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced today that the IceWEB 5000 Storage System has been selected as the base Storage platform for a Video Sensor project by premier channel partner, VideoBank, Incorporated, http://www.videobankdigital.com/,  for one of their Video Capture implementations at an important Department of Defense customer.  

IceWEB's high performance computing storage solution offers unique capabilities for maximizing performance and integration into video streaming environments.  The 5000's ability to support both file and block protocols and support for 10G (10GB Ethernet), FC (Fibre Channel) make it the ideal solution for data intensive environments.  The base system will utilize 2 TB drives and three additional IceWEB 500 disk shelves bringing the total capacity to over 100 TB's.

About 3.2 billion gigabytes - that will be the digital storage capacity of the global surveillance marketplace sometime in 2013, according to a new study. That marketplace will be worth about $2.5 billion, IMS Research predicts. IP and enterprise surveillance video storage is "set to grow rapidly for the foreseeable future," IMS said, despite the economic downturn.

"The IceWEB 5000 flat out smokes the competition on price and performance.  It is the rocket ship of storage systems.  As the IceWEB brand builds, our channel partners are going to find success.  Success breeds more success.  Our channel partner VideoBank did an amazing job in this selling situation.  They provided the direct entry to the government and we provided a Simply Advanced™ storage system that met the stringent performance levels as set by the customer.  When it comes to video images and geospatial intelligence we crush the competition.  It is really exciting to have a partner in such a storage intensive and fast growing vertical market," stated John R. Signorello, IceWEB CEO.  "We look forward to providing VideoBank with any/all resources needed to support their growing customer base."
