More than 1000 Sharks on orderSan Jose 15 Dec 99"We're thrilled to be reaching this milestone and more committed than ever to regaining the lead in enterprise disk storage systems," said Frank Elliott, vice president of marketing and strategy, IBM Storage Systems Division. "Price and performance continue to set us apart from the competition. It's especially gratifying that we are winning over so many new customers in diverse industries around the world who are interested in obtaining the best performance available in the marketplace today. They're telling us that 'Shark' is blowing away other competitors' disk storage systems like EMC's Symmetrix and Hitachi Data Systems Freedom 7700E storage systems." The 1,000th 'Shark' was ordered by a large utility company in the Southeastern United States, to meet its growing storage requirements for e-business and business intelligence applications. Hundreds of customers, including almost half of the top 100 global companies, have ordered 'Shark' and a variety of industry leaders -- from banking to insurance to health care, among others -- have benefited from the product's exceptional performance and scalability.
