Carnegie Institution for Science Selects FileTek

FileTek, Inc announced that the Carnegie Institution for Science a private, non-profit research organization with six departments across
the United States and an Observatory in Chile, purchased and installed
StorHouse for Life Sciences from FileTek to archive and backup
sequence analysis data that support vital research projects.

Carnegie installed StorHouse at the Department of Embryology in Baltimore, MD,
where scientists investigate fundamental questions in genetics at the cellular
and molecular levels, including gene functions and the development of organisms
from single-celled egg to adult.

"We chose StorHouse for Life Sciences to actively archive and manage
our sequence analysis research data because it is a proven product that meets
all our requirements for scalability, redundancy, security, data protection, backup,
and cost-effective operation," remarked Bill Kupiec, Information Technology
Manager at the Carnegie Institution. "FileTek has provided excellent support
throughout the installation and production roll-out process."

StorHouse for Life Sciences is a large-scale, storage virtualization and data
management platform specifically engineered to administer the terabytes to petabytes
of structured and unstructured fixed content generated by
scalable and dynamic life sciences applications. The product combines traditional and alternative storage devices and open system processors with
storage management, relational database management, and file system interface
software components. No modifications to existing applications are required.

StorHouse for Life Sciences is a technology component
in the race to collect, study, link, and analyze critical medical research
data. The product has many features that support biomedical research
such as the sequencing application at the Department of Embryology.

"FileTek is proud to add the Carnegie
Institution for Science to our esteemed list of StorHouse for Life Sciences
customers," commented Chuck Whinney, Vice President of Customer Support for
StorHouse.

StorHouse for Life Sciences ensures data integrity, facilitates data access,
and provides native file format backup, a feature that enables the
Carnegie Institute to re-acquire rather than restore their valuable
embryologic data without IT intervention. Furthermore, because StorHouse is
media/hardware independent and uses a blend of storage
options, it will lower Carnegie overall storage and data management costs.

FileTek looks forward to working with the Carnegie Institution on future active
archive endeavors.
