ZANTAZ Celebrates 10 Years of Innovation, Thought Leadership, and Market Dominance

Customer-Driven Solutions, New Technologies Drive Continued Growth and Success

PLEASANTON, Calif. - Nov. 7, 2006 - ZANTAZ, Inc., the global leader in content archiving and electronic discovery solutions, marks its 10th anniversary this month. Over the years, ZANTAZ' strategy has been to both develop and acquire innovative technologies that allow companies to archive, manage and retrieve their electronic content - including email, files and other electronic records - to quickly respond to corporate governance, knowledge management, and regulatory and legal requirements. As a result, ZANTAZ counts among its customers many of the Fortune 500 and has been the revenue market share leader for the last three years.

"Our focus on customers and our deep knowledge of the storage, regulatory and legal issues related to managing their electronic content continue to fuel our growth," said ZANTAZ President and CEO Steve King, who recently received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2006 Award in the Business Services category in the Northern California region. "Today more than ever, enterprises are looking to ZANTAZ and our proven technologies to solve their increasingly complex content archiving and discovery challenges."

King continues, "We've clearly demonstrated our technology leadership and our commitment to customers as validated by our leadership position in IDC's recent Worldwide Email Archiving Applications Forecast, and top ranking in the Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey. And with the demand for content archiving and electronic discovery continuing to skyrocket, we see a tremendous opportunity for ZANTAZ to further increase revenue and dominate market share."

Founded in 1996, ZANTAZ developed the first on-demand, highly scalable compliance archiving solution, Digital Safe, introducing it to the market in early 1999. In 2003, with the market shaken by the Enron and WorldCom scandals, ZANTAZ acquired severel companies in order to leverage existing technologies to create new solutions, including the market-leading ZANTAZ Enterprise Archive Solution (EAS) and Introspect, the most scalable and efficient discovery review solution for complex litigation and compliance. Over the years, the company also built highly sophisticated data restoration capabilities that combine a highly secure and scalable infrastructure to securely restore data from a wide variety of backup media.

In 2006, ZANTAZ introduced First Archive On Demand, combining Digital Safe and ZANTAZ EAS to provide customers with the ability to deploy a combination of on-demand and on-site software solutions, giving organizations the flexibility they need to meet their specific technical and financial objectives. The company also launched First Discovery, leveraging many of its core products and competencies to offer a data collection and electronic discovery solution that automates the collection, preservation, and filtering of corporate data.

"Over the next four years, Enterprise Strategy Group estimates that organizations will archive more than 50,000 petabytes of information, increasing pressure on organizations to effectively manage their out-of-control electronic data stores," said Brian Babineau, an analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). "Compliance, electronic discovery, and IT operational efficiencies will continue to drive the rapid growth of the content archiving market. ZANTAZ has kept its finger squarely on the pulse of the industry and as a result will continue to be an important contributor of innovative technologies and enterprise solutions."

The results of ZANTAZ' customer-driven strategy to-date have been phenomenal:

As a point of comparison, a single terabyte can hold 500 million text pages, 200 full-length movies, or 1000 copies of the Encyclopedia Britannica. There are approximately 1,000 terabytes in a petabyte.

With continuing pressure on companies to improve compliance and prepare for litigation while controlling or cutting IT costs, ZANTAZ expects demand for its products to continue to increase.

"ZANTAZ will continue to drive innovation by listening to our customers and delivering products that meet their evolving needs," said King. "We expect the next 10 years to be as exciting, challenging, and successful as the last 10."
