IceWEB's Channel Partner James River Technical Lands Order From Navy

STERLING, Va., April 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IceWEB, Inc.™ (OTC Bulletin Board: IWEB), www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage, building blocks for cloud storage networks, and purpose-built appliances, announced today that the Company's IceWEB Storage System has been selected as the foundation to build an iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) Storage platform for a cloud computing virtual server project by its premier federal partner, James River Technical, Incorporated (JRTI), www.jrti.com.  This is a one year task order with four option years.

Virtual Server or Cloud software provides a completely virtualized set of hardware to the guest operating system. Cloud software virtualizes the hardware for a video adapter, a network adapter, and hard disk adapters. In this way, Cloud computing virtual machines become highly portable between computers, because every host looks nearly identical to the guest. In practice, a system can automatically pause operations on a virtual machine guest, move or copy that guest to another physical computer, and there resume execution exactly at the point of suspension.  Alternately, for enterprise servers, a feature called Motion allows the migration of operational guest virtual machines between similar but separate hardware hosts sharing the same storage.  Each of these transitions is completely transparent to any users on the virtual machine at the time it is being migrated.  The IceWEB storage system was developed to interact seamlessly in these data intensive environments.  It is perfectly suited for customers looking to rapidly deploy a simple, advanced and affordable platform.

"The initial order is a multi-terabyte solution that is expected to grow exponentially once the baseline system is functional and proven to meet the security threshold standard as set forth in the SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-wide Procurement) task order," said Jeff Fettig, VP of Sales for JRTI.  "The performance and advanced features of this product make it a natural lead in for us. We look forward to doing proactive marketing and lead generation programs with IceWEB and their experienced team of storage professionals."

Timothy J. McNamee, Channel Sales Manager, IceWEB Mid-Atlantic region stated, "Having our products available on the SEWP contract combined with JRTI's customer relationships is a match made in heaven.  The business development team at JRTI understands how to put together a cost competitive bid that meets or exceeds the technical specifications required by the Federal Government contracting officers making the decisions.  We are going to continue to leverage the experienced bid and proposal teams at JRTI."
