SEPATON IS ADDED TO THE GSA SCHEDULE THROUGH ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH GLOBAL TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
MARLBOROUGH, MA — January 11, 2006 — SEPATON, Inc., the emerging leader in non-disruptive, high-performance data protection solutions, today announced that Global Technical Systems (GTS) will resell its S2100 family of Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solutions as an authorized General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) participant. Global Technical Systems specializes in providing technical services and high-tech product solutions in the areas of sensor technology and storage area networks to government agencies.
Through the GSA/FSS, Global Technical Systems is able to offer the best available prices for SEPATON’s family of commercial, off-the-shelf data protection appliances, software, training, services, and technical support.
“All of GTS’ current customers rely on us to provide timely, high-quality, innovative and compelling products and services and at a significantly lower cost than the major defense suppliers,” said Terry Spitzer, CEO for Global Technical Systems. “Partnering with SEPATON furthers our goal to provide the best and most complete service to our customers. We can now give them fast and easy access to the most advanced technology at the most competitive prices for their data backup and recovery product needs.”

The Federal Supply Schedules provide authorized local, state and Federal government agency buyers and purchasing personnel across the United States with a venue to procure goods and services, conveniently, and at the most-favored customer price. Using the GSA Schedules provides authorized buyers a contracting vehicle to purchase products and services directly from authorized FSS vendors, shortening the purchasing process and reducing administrative costs.
