Sepaton Reports Record Q4 Sales

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. -- SEPATON, Inc., the leader in enterprise-class data protection solutions, today announced that record fourth quarter sales drove the strongest quarter in the companys history and that the company has passed the profitability mark. These milestones capped a year that set new records across the board in all functional and financial areas of the company. SEPATON’s growth accelerated after its June launch of DeltaStor v5.0 data deduplication software featuring Scale-Out Deduplication capability, making it uniquely optimized for large, data-intensive enterprises. Sales in the second half of 2008 were up significantly compared to the first half of the year.

“Our outstanding financial performance in one of the most challenging economic environments of our time illustrates the power of SEPATON’s virtual tape library (VTL) and deduplication solutions in helping large enterprises to protect their critical information and ensure a rapid return on investment,” said Mike Worhach, president and CEO, SEPATON, Inc. “Our data deduplication technology is unique in its ability to scale performance and/or capacity to enable large enterprises to control data growth and to protect petabytes of data in a single system. This powerful capability provides the springboard for our future revenue and earnings growth. Customers are purchasing larger systems than ever before. As a result, our average S2100®-ES2 system price in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $360,000. We exited 2008 with a strong backlog of orders and we view the record sales that we achieved in 2008 as an affirmation of our strategy and proof of the value we deliver to our customers.”
