Fujitsu White Paper on Innovative Hard Disk Drive Technology Honored with Bitpipe Annual Award

Company Receives Honorable Mention in the Hardware Category

San Jose, CA, June 21, 2004 — Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. (FCPA), one of the world's leading suppliers of hard disk drives and computer peripherals, today announced that its white paper, "Mobile Hard Drives Move On," received an honorable mention in the hardware category in Bitpipe's fourth annual White Paper Awards. Winners were selected based on overall editorial quality, format, presentation, and end-user utility.

Authored by Mike Chenery, vice president advanced product engineering, the white paper explores the evolution of shrinking form factors in the hard disk drive industry, tracing the phenomenon's natural progression over the past 30 years. Today's compact hard disk drives and progressive interfaces are enabling next generation storage solutions including storage blades, video servers and compact RAID systems.

"The past twelve months have been a very exciting time in the hard drive industry with the rapid development and release of smaller hard disk drives with innovative interfaces," said Chenery. "Fujitsu has been a major player in those developments and we are pleased to be in a position where we can share our insights and successes. This award recognizes the dedication and thought leadership of the entire Fujitsu team."

Bitpipe's White Paper Awards recognize the importance of technology white papers as an established medium for technology buyers and marketers.

White papers were judged by nine editors and analysts from leading IT analyst groups and publications.

"This award program, now in its fourth year, affirms the value, significance, and utility of technology white papers not only as an integral communications medium for the IT community, but also as the best source of information on cutting edge IT products," said Jay Habegger, chief executive officer, Bitpipe. "As producer and presenter of the White Paper Awards, Bitpipe is proud to bring industry recognition to the companies and to the authors of this year's winning papers."
