CARLSBAD, Calif., March 18, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Dot Hill Systems Corp., (NYSE:HIL) a leading provider of storage networking solutions, is demonstrating its Axis Storage Manager(tm) and full Fibre Channel SANnet(r) 7120 storage system in a remote replication demonstration at FOSE 2002 at the Washington, D.C.

Dot Hill's exhibit will be co-located with GTSI Corp (Nasdaq:GTSI), a leading business-to-government marketer of information technology solutions, in GTSI's booth 1440.

FOSE is the most comprehensive IT trade show for the government buying community, and this year's event is projected to open to record attendance. Government spending on technology tools is at an all-time high due to heightened security concerns and the administration's e-government initiatives, according to Federal Sources, a market research firm that monitors government IT buying trends.
The Axis Storage Manager extends an organization's original IT investment rather than replaces it. Administrators can manage and consolidate all their data, regardless of where it is stored or whose storage is used.
