'Adaptec RAID solutions have earned a reputation for proven reliability, which is extremely critical for a network infrastructure supporting over 8,000 active servers,' said Jacob Linscott, SoftLayer director of IT systems - UNIX. 'In addition to rock solid dependability, Adaptec was the sole vendor that enabled us to completely standardize on a single family of controllers. We looked at LSI and 3ware solutions, but only Adaptec offered a broad line of low- and high-port Unified Serial RAID controllers, which we absolutely needed to help scale and maintain our IT infrastructure and better support our rapidly growing customer base.'

INTERNATIONAL OIL & GAS HOLDINGS CORPORATION (PINKSHEETS: IOGH)

International Oil & Gas Holdings Corporation closed at $0.155 Tuesday, trading 665,814 shares

Company News- July 10, 2007: IOGH Commences Biodiesel Sales at 6,000 Gallons Per Day and Targets Doubling Shipments by Mid-Summer

International Oil & Gas Holdings Corporation announced that its Oklahoma biodiesel production plant has established an initial, uninterrupted production rate of 6,000 gallons of biodiesel fuel per day, with 100% of plant production now being shipped to regional agricultural users for mix with newly formulated diesel fuel required by 2007 EPA standards.

The company also reported that under current plans for plant capacity growth, the continuous production output of 6,000 gallons per day will increase to 12,000 gallons per day within 60 days, all of which it expects will be shipped to regional agricultural users.

'Local farmers and trucking companies are excited about the use of biodiesel in their fuel as a way to reduce imports of crude oil and improve performance in their equipment,' said Rick Graves, President of IOGH. 'IOGH biodiesel can be an essential new additive to 2007 diesel fuel. The new EPA-mandated low sulfur formulations lack the lubricity needed by almost all diesel engines operating today. This lack of lubricity raises the specter of higher operating costs and reduced engine life. When mixed 5% with 2007 diesel fuel, IOGH biodiesel restores the lost lubricity, increases fuel efficiency and normalizes performance expected from pre-2007 fuel.' The company also announced that sales of the glycerin by-product from its proprietary biodiesel manufacturing process have commenced. IOGH glycerin will be sold to and used by chemical manufacturers to make products such as surfactants, plastics, and bio-solvents, which are normally manufactured from petroleum-based raw materials.

'The conversion of regionally available organic materials into high quality biodiesel fuel and glycerin comes at a time when petroleum-based products face significant supply and price pressures,' said Mr. Graves. 'We feel that IOGH can make an important contribution to America's need for a fully-scalable domestic supply of energy and petroleum equivalent products. As a company, we see an abundant supply of domestic raw material playing a measurable role in America's efforts to reduce dependence on foreign oil supplies.'
