MICHAEL VEKICH TO LEAVE CIPRICO BOARD

Minneapolis, MN, September 13, 2007 – Ciprico Inc. (NASDAQ: CPCI), a leading provider of intelligent storage software, solutions and appliances for enterprise class IT servers, professional workstations and digital media workflows, announced today that Michael M. Vekich will be leaving the Ciprico Board of Directors effective September 10, 2007.

Vekich, 59, is chief executive officer of Vekich Associates and also Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Skyline Displays, Inc.

Vekich joined the Ciprico board in 2002. He served as Ciprico’s lead outside director and chaired the audit committee. Vekich also previously chaired the company’s governance committee.

“One of my areas of expertise and my passion is for governance. The governance committee has given Ciprico a solid foundation as the company builds for the future,” said Vekich. “However, after five years on the Ciprico board, I’m eager to explore new opportunities.”

Vekich said he is leaving the board with confidence that Ciprico has a strong leadership team in place. “CEO Steve Merrifield has brought together an outstanding group of people to guide the company,” said Vekich.

“We wish Mike the very best and appreciate his leadership, hard work and the contributions he has made to Ciprico” said Merrifield, Ciprico CEO.   “Mike and the rest of our board have been instrumental in reshaping our company over the past year, and I am very confident Ciprico is poised to return to growth and profitability because of those efforts and the efforts of our management team and our employees.”

The company expects to name a replacement for Vekich in the near future.
