Comtech AHA Joins the Storage Networking Industry Association.

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Comtech AHA Corporation (AHA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ:CMTL), today announced its membership in the SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association). Since 1997, the SNIA has been a leader in assisting in the development of solutions and standards for the storage networking industry.

"Comtech AHA's focus on lossless data compression technologies enables faster data transfer rates at a time when the IT industry is moving larger volumes of data more frequently over longer distances," said Wayne M. Adams, chair of the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA). "AHA's membership enriches the SNIA's expanded focus on its information lifecycle management, data protection, data movement and security initiatives -- resulting in professional education, solution best practices, and implementable product standards."

AHA has a long history in the storage industry of supplying lossless data compression integrated circuits, intellectual property, and board solutions to customers worldwide. Reducing data size and transmission time are the key benefits of AHA's line of compression products. For more than fifteen years, AHA's application-specific compression algorithm devices have been improving performance in data storage, copiers, printers, scanners and other imaging equipment. The AHA361-PCIX Internet protocol accelerator is AHA's newest compression product and was designed to increase the data transfer rates in applications such as storage area networks, web servers, web accelerators and web traffic appliances including load balancers, firewall VPN servers and integrated routers/switches.

"As providers of lossless data compression hardware, Comtech AHA is excited to become a member of the SNIA," said Bill Thomson, President of AHA. "Our compression products typically halve the storage requirements for computer data and can double the effective transmission speed of network links. We believe that by joining the SNIA we can expose our technology to a broader audience and tailor our products to the specific needs of storage and networking users."
