        Emulex will also showcase a variety of solutions at this
        year's HP World conference and expo, including its InSpeed
        (embedded storage switch technology -- which is integrated
        into the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA)
        solution for back-end switching. Emulex InSpeed solutions are
        on display with the HP StorageWorks EVA 5000 in booth No. 411.
        Additionally, the Company is demonstrating its recently
        released LP101 Fibre Channel host bus adapter --
        designed specifically for SAN connectivity within small
        and medium business (SMB) environments, and features AutoPilot
        Installer to simplify installation and deployment of SANs for
        SMB users.

        Other expo highlights include a demonstration of the enhanced
        capabilities of the Emulex centralized HBA management suite,
        HBAnyware, used in conjunction with HP's latest release of
        OpenView Storage Area Manager (OV SAM). This configuration
        features the new Emulex Open Source Linux driver coupled
        with additional functionality that enables HBAnyware to be
        launched as a local element manager on any given remote
        host, from within OV SAM, in a seamless and integrated
        fashion. While OV SAM manages discovery and topology
        mapping, HBAnyware provides the in-depth, integrated HBA
        management, thereby augmenting the overall feature set.
