CLARIION ANNOUNCES MODEL 150 DISK ARRAY

ESTABLISHES NEW ENTRY POINT FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE RAID

WESTBORO, Mass., July 10, 1995 -- The CLARiiON Business Unit of Data
General Corporation today established a new entry point for its
award-winning disk array line with the announcement of the Model 150 disk
array, an economical storage solution for mission-critical computing
environments.

The Model 150 is targeted at low-end UNIX and PC server applications
requiring high performance, high data integrity storage subsystems with
flexibility. The Model 150 is ideal for distributed applications.
Virtually all open systems platforms are supported on the new disk
arrays.

Packaged in a PC-style, deskside or rackmount cabinet, the CLARiiON model
150 disk array has seven hot-repair slots for disk drive modules, and
comes preconfigured with three two-MB disks in a RAID 5 stripe to
facilitate quick and simple installation. Multi-RAID configurations
(0,1,3,5,1/0) can be supported concurrently as needs dictate. Up to 28 GB
can be configured in a CLARiiON Model 150. Global disk spares are
available to automatically and immediately rebuild a failed disk.

The new CLARiiON Model 150 squarely addresses the need for
high-availability storage in the fast-growing, low-end PC and UNIX server
marketplace, says Peter Gibbs, Director of Marketing for the CLARiiON
Business Unit. We have combined industry-leading storage subsystem
features with an economical package to make this happen.

In keeping with the advanced design of the highly successful CLARiiON line,
the new disk array model employs redundant subsystems to eliminate single
points of failure. Critical elements such as disk, power, and cooling are
redundant, and can be replaced on-line without tools. Two servers can
share the Model 150, providing a low-cost array for entry servers with
modest disk requirements. A Windows or Motif based graphical management
tool simplifies installation and operation, allowing single point control
in enterprise installations.

Read-ahead cache ships with the Model 150, utilizing up to 32 MB for
sequential read operations.

Pricing for the new disk array is $10,995.00 which includes 6 GB disk, 8 MB
cache memory, redundant power and cooling, and an interface kit for either
SUN, DEC Alpha, IBM or Intel based PC servers. CLARiiON will deliver the
rackmount version of the Model 150 in October 1995 for emerging
applications in the PC server market.

The CLARiiON Model 1100/2200 disk array was recently named RAID Product of
the Year in the Well-Connected Awards sponsored by Network Computing
magazine. CLARiiON advanced storage solutions are used in a wide range of
distributed, centralized and dedicated applications. CLARiiON is
distributed by systems vendors, OEMs, private label suppliers, value-added
resellers and systems integrators worldwide.

The CLARiiON Business Unit is part of Data General Corporation. CLARiiON

information for more than four years. CLARiiON products support a variety
of platforms, including SUN Sparc systems, IBM RS/6000, NetWare, NT, OS/2,
