StorageASP Inc.  today announced a partnership with
      Igloo Security, Inc.  to standardize on Igloo’s ESM
      (Enterprise Security Management) solution “SPiDER-1” for the data
      protection security component of their data protection suite of services
      at Internet Data Centres (IDC) throughout North America. In addition, the
      two firms will work together to develop a new suite of products
      specifically for the SSP marketplace. 
      According to the companies, SPiDER-1 is an ESM suite of products allowing security administrators to
      develop security audit policies, monitor logs & system resources in real
      time, detect and eliminate risk factors, and generate statistical reports
      in one package.
	  
      In addition to standardizing on SPiDER-1, StorageASP has agreed to jointly
      work with Igloo to develop a Data Protection Services Management Module
      aimed at the North American SSP marketplace. Igloo and StorageASP will
      work together to jointly market and sellthe new product, known as
      “SPiDER-xSP”. 
      Igloo and StorageASP will provide joint guideline and specification to
      further develop SPiDER-xSP, based on the existingSPiDER-1 product suite.
      StorageASP has integrated Igloo SPiDER-1 and SPiDER-xSP within its Data
      Protection suite of services, commencing at the Bird On A Wire Toronto
      data centre, where data protection services were initiated in May 2001.
