CAMPBELL, California, December 18,1991--Mountain Network Solutions, Inc.,
an industry leader in tape backup for mission-critical personal computers
and LANs, today announced that it has begun volume shipments of the
FileSafe 8500.
Mountain's FileSafe 8500 is the first tape drive that attaches to the
Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) embedded AT interface that is found in
most of the PCs manufactured today. The IDE interface can support two
devices: an IDE hard disk and Mountain's tape drive. The FileSafe 8500 is
a "zero slot" solution because it doesn't require an additional expansion
slot for a separate tape controller card, leaving the slot available for
other uses. The FileSafe 8500 also takes advantage of the high speed of
the IDE bus for backup rates of up to 8 megabytes per minute on fast PCs.
The tape drive can be configured for use in either a 3 1/2" or 5 1/4"
drive bay.

NETWORLD, Boston, MA -- February 11, 1992 Mountain Network Solutions, Inc.,
an industry leader in tape backup subsystems, extends the capacity of its
data cartridge tape backup line with the FileSafe 71000.
The FileSafe 71000 is the highest capacity tape subsystem of the FileSafe
7000 family storing 1 gigabyte of data on a single data cartridge. The
fast SCSI interface provides a backup rate of 10 MB per minute. The
FileSafe 71000 has Quick File Access for rapid file retrieval from
anywhere on the tape cartridge. The SCSI interface allows additional units
to be daisy-chained for increased capacity, when required. Users of
Mountain's data cartridge drives can migrate to the FileSafe 71000 easily
because of the ability to read all the way back to 60MB tape cartridges.
Newer formats like those found in the 150MB and 525MB drives can be
written for interchange with the installed base of Mountain tape drives.
The FileSafe 71000 is the next logical step for DC600 cartridge users who
need higher capacity storage and compatibility with lower capacity
formats.
The FileSafe 71000 comes complete with Mountain's award winning FileSafe
software, FileTalk, installation and operation manuals, controller card,
cables, and DC9000 data cartridge. Mountain's award winning FileSafe
software is DOS and Novell NetWare compatible. FileTalk is the software
that provides workstation backup on a local area network.
"We are committed to providing the best data storage solutions for our
customers. Data cartridge technology has a proven track record for
reliability and performance. Now we have the capacity to meet our
customer's needs", said Dr. William Kunz, Executive Vice-President and
Chief Operating Officer at Mountain.
The FileSafe 71000 will begin shipping early in Q2-92. The suggested retail
price for the AT compatible external system is $3,995 and $3,495 for the
internal system. IBM PS/2 Micro Channel compatible subsystems are priced
$100 higher, respectively. The FileSafe 71000 will be available through
Mountain's worldwide network of dealers and distributors. For more
information on a local distributor or dealer, contact Mountain at (800)
458-0300 or (408) 379-4300.

NETWORLD, Boston, MA -- February 11, 1992 Mountain Network Solutions, Inc.,
an industry leader in tape backup subsystems for personal computers and
mission-critical LANs, has extended Novell(3 NetWare(9 3.11 support to its
family of FileSafe mini-cartridge subsystems.
The FileSafe 4000, FileSafe 8000Plus, and newest addition, the IDE
interface FileSafe 8500 have had compatibility with previous versions of
Novell NetWare 286 and NetWare Lite. Now the ability to backup Novell 3.11
network security and trustee information, that was only possible with
Mountain's high end tape subsystems, is available in the entire
mini-cartridge family. The capacity and price of the mini-cartridge tape
subsystems has contributed to their popularity in small to medium LANs.
Mountain has enhanced its QIC-40 and QIC-80 product offerings with
proprietary features such as the MACH2 controller and Mountain's unique
"Format-on-the-Fly" which eliminates having to pre-format mini-cartridges
before use. Data compression can double the capacity of these drives so
that a file server backup can be held on a single mini-cartridge.
"Mountain has a good reputation for supporting Novell's network operating
systems. We are pleased to be able to deliver the additional features our
customers' require throughout our entire product line", said Dr. William
Kunz, Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer at Mountain.
The FileSafe software version 5.2.5-TD, will be available immediately for
downloading from Mountain's bulletin board service for registered users of
Mountain's FileSafe tape subsystems free of charge. Users requiring
diskettes and manuals will be able to order the upgrade kits from
Mountain, directly. The cost for the upgrade is $50 plus shipping and
handling. For more information, contact Mountain at (800) 458-0300 or
(408) 379-4300.

NETWORLD, Boston, MA -- February 11, 1992 -- Mountain Network Solutions,
Inc., an industry leader in tape backup, in conjunction with Knozall
Systems, Inc. of Chandler, AZ has developed Mountain FileWizard for
FileSafe.
Novell NetWare administrators have a need for more effective file server
storage management tools. Mountain's FileWizard for FileSafe combines the
best of Knozall's FileWizard product for analyzing file usage and creating
file migration jobs with Mountain's powerful FileSafe tape subsystems. Now
files can be migrated from NetWare 2.2 and 3.11 file servers automatically
to a FileSafe tape subsystem. Files migrated onto tape can be tracked with
the librarian that is part of the FileWizard product and restored
transparently through Mountain's FileSafe tape software. Jobs can be
created and queued for delayed execution on a network workstation with the
FileSafe tape subsystem.
"FileWizard enhances Mountain's FileSafe software for true server grooming
and file migration requirements", said Dr. William Kunz, Executive
Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer at Mountain. This product is
another in a series of products co-developed with leading technology
software firms in conjunction with Mountain's FileSafe tape backup
subsystems.
"We have been looking to team up with a backup company to provide the best
file server management system. Mountain's FileSafe utilities complement
our FileWizard product perfectly", said Don Lundell, President of Knozall
Systems.
"Storage management is more than just backup and restore. Mountain is
showing once again their leadership by providing an integrated solution
with Knozall's innovative technology. The strength of this combination
provides an urgently needed network service", said Michael Peterson of
Peripheral Strategies, Inc.
"The idea for this product was to address the archiving needs of Mountain's
large installed base on Novell networks. Mountain's FileWizard for
FileSafe is the perfect addition for Mountain's FileSafe users because
they work so well together", said Dr. Daniel Stromska, Director of
Advanced Technologies at Mountain.
Mountain FileWizard for FileSafe is compatible with all versions of
FileSafe tape subsystems and software. Tapes created with FileWizard for
FileSafe can be used with the stand-alone FileSafe tape software.
Mountain FileWizard for FileSafe has an introductory price of $395 for the
single server version of the software. The three server version is $595,
the eight server version is $995. FileWizard for FileSafe will be shipping
