FLSH M Systems Flash Disk

msystems (NASDAQ:FLSH), a leader in smart personal storage, and Wincor Nixdorf, the leading European manufacturer of programmable electronic point of sale (POS) systems, today announced that Wincor Nixdorf will offer their BEETLE POS family with msystems� flash disk, mModule uDOC, as its solid state storage solution. This marks the first time that Wincor Nixdorf is offering support for an embedded flash disk in any of the company�s POS systems. With over 30 years� experience in the retail sector, Wincor Nixdorf is committed to delivering high reliability in the solutions it provides to its customers, and pays particular attention to total cost of ownership (TCO). �We know what is required in terms of system availability, data security and integrity, product continuity, and low operating costs,� said marketing product manager of Wincor Nixdorf, Winfried Nolte. �We have confidently chosen msystems� mModule uDOC as our solid state offering after rigorous testing, including repeated transactions equivalent to 20 years in the field.� mModule uDOC�s reliability is a result of msystems� industry proven, patented TrueFFS� flash file system, which enables a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rate of over 4 million operating hours. mModule uDOC is fully supported as a plug-and-play solution by Microsoft� Windows� XP Embedded, Windows CE, WEPOS, Windows XP Pro and Linux operating system environments. The steep decline in NAND flash prices is making it competitive with hard disk drives for adoption in the POS industry, while its higher reliability makes it even more attractive over conventional spinning magnetic media in the total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis. These cost considerations are opening opportunities for flash data storage in many new markets including POS, with a significant number of POS vendors choosing flash over hard disk drives. Wincor Nixdorf is now offering its BEETLE POS family customers the option of msystems� mModule uDOC for reliable storage. �We are pleased to provide Wincor Nixdorf with the first embedded flash disk, our mModule uDOC, for its BEETLE POS system family,� said Erez Lev, general manager of msystems, Europe. �Our vast experience in flash data storage enables us to provide Wincor Nixdorf the exceedingly high level of reliability and performance to which they are committed and that their customers have come to demand.� A BEETLE terminal from Wincor Nixdorf with msystems� mModule uDOC flash disk will be on display in msystems� booth #715, Hall A6 in Electronica 2006 held in Munich, Germany at the New Munich Trade Fair Center during November 14-17, 2006.
