BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2001

OmniCluster Technologies announced that it has been named a winner of the South Florida Business Journal's 2001 Technology Awards, emerging victorious in the "Stars" category. The award was presented September 6 at a ceremony held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

OmniCluster was presented with the award in recognition of its SlotServer 1000(TM). The SlotServer 1000 is a half-length PCI card, containing a fully functional server for operating systems like Windows 2000, Windows NT, FreeBSD and various versions of Linux including SuSE, Red Hat, Mandrake, and TurboLinux. Companies have the ability to cluster multiple SlotServers inside standard servers communicating over the Gigabit PCI bus with a unique patent-pending network interface that allows shared storage and I/O. This provides an ideal solution for utility server applications like Web Hosting, firewalls, file servers and print servers.

"We are quite proud to have received this recognition," said Christopher Fleck, CEO of OmniCluster. "The SlotServer 1000 introduces a technology that provides a terrific solution for companies looking to improve their server's capacity and function while also saving money, space and energy. Our team has worked long and hard developing this product and bringing it to market, and the recognition of these efforts brought by this award is fantastic."
