ATLANTA, GA. – September 13, 2006 – VeriStor Systems, Inc., an Atlanta, GA-based data storage solutions provider, was named the 37th fastest growing privately-held company in the country on Inc. Magazine’s 2006 Inc. 500 list. VeriStor posted four-year average annual revenue growth of 1,465% to make its debut on the 2006 Inc. 500 list and was also ranked by Inc. as the fastest growing privately-held business in the state of Georgia.

“This achievement documents not only the tremendous market demand for VeriStor’s services, but the phenomenal success of the unique sales and support model we have developed to deliver those services,” said Ashby Lincoln, CEO and co-founder of VeriStor.

VeriStor is a data storage systems integrator that provides turnkey solutions to some of the largest IT challenges facing companies today. VeriStor’s offerings include solutions for the efficient storage and protection of mission-critical enterprise data as well as data replication for disaster recovery and archiving for regulatory compliance. In the past 5 years, VeriStor has provided such solutions to over 250 enterprise and mid-market customers throughout the Southeast U.S. and Nationwide.

By focusing on emerging storage technologies and leading with a truly customer requirements-driven process, VeriStor is able to architect data storage solutions that are higher in functionality, lower in cost, and easier to implement and manage than those available from other manufacturers or solution providers.

“If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500,” said Inc. Editor Jane Berentson. “These are the most innovative, dynamic, fast-growth companies in the nation, the ones coming up with solutions to some of our most intractable ills, creating systems that let us conduct business faster and easier, and manufacturing products we soon discover we can’t live without. The Inc. 500 list is Inc. magazine’s tribute to American business ingenuity and ambition.”

Founded in late 2001 by a team of storage industry veterans, VeriStor grew from $638,000 in 2002 – its first full year of operations – to $10 million in 2005, for an aggregate growth rate of 1,465%. A key factor behind this growth has been the management team’s unique mix of enterprise-level storage manufacturer and service-provider experience.

“Regardless of technologies and markets, at the end of the day it’s the people that make the difference,” said Lincoln. “This accomplishment is a testament to the trust and confidence that our customers and partners place in VeriStor. That trust is only possible through the expertise and dedication of the VeriStor staff and their passionate commitment to taking care of the people that count on us.”

The 2006 Inc. 500, as revealed in the September issue of Inc., reported the most robust bunch of companies the magazine has ever compiled, with aggregate revenue of $19.7 billion, up from $16.5 billion last year and $12.9 billion in 2000. VeriStor ranked 3rd nationwide in the IT Services category, the largest category among this year’s Inc. 500, with 68 companies listed.

Over the years, the Inc. 500 has identified the next generation of world-class companies. Former Inc. 500 companies include Microsoft, Oracle, CompUSA, Gateway, Timberland, E*Trade, Intuit, and Domino’s Pizza, all appearing on the list before they became industry powerhouses.
