Strong Growth and Customer Success

 --  VDIworks formation: ClearCube spun-off its software business as     VDIworks [http://www2.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_b1?release_id=393771]. --  Significant financial success: ClearCube achieved 38 percent business     growth in the second half over the first half of 2007, and 34 percent     increase in net revenue in Q1 of 2008 over Q1 of 2007. As a result of this     exceptional financial performance, ClearCube is tracking to achieve     profitability goals in 2008. --  Solid market presence across multiple verticals: ClearCube has     thousands of customers around the world in the financial services,     government, education, healthcare, commercial and manufacturing industries. --  Exceptional customer success: 2007 marked outstanding customer growth     among existing customers such as ABN Amro, Allianz Life Insurance,     AtlantiCare, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, McConnell AFB, NATO, Tyndall AFB,     Wachovia and many others. --  Channel Partner Growth: ClearCube shifted to a 100 percent channel     focus, launching a new Global Partner Program to meet increased market     demand for centralized computing and connection brokering solutions     worldwide. ClearCube solution partners increase revenues and profit margins     by capitalizing on the rapidly growing demand for centralized computing     solutions. Existing ClearCube customers benefit from enhanced support from     both ClearCube and its partners.      

"The ClearClube centralized computing solution has not only allowed us to ensure the required security and availability needed in our highly demanding environment, but it has allowed us to gain competitive advantage in the financial services marketplace through time-to-market with the performance of the solution," said Jason Scott, EMEA head of technology services, Wachovia. "With the ClearCube solution, we are able to meet and exceed the computing needs of both our traders, enabling them to focus their resources on serving our customers and driving revenue for the company."

Technology Innovation

 --  Leading the virtual desktop wave: ClearCube was the first company to     certify its PC Blade Solution for VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure     (VDI) with VMware's ESX on ClearCube's R2200 blade. In addition, the     company's virtual desktop management system is now hardware agnostic with     Sentral, enabling virtual desktops delivered from other vendors' hardware. --  Shattering the distance barrier inherent to PC blade computing: In     2007, ClearCube introduced the I9400 series, user port devices that     facilitate the first PC blade solutions to provide both dual- and quad-     monitor, full-performance graphics via an IP connection over virtually     unlimited distances. The company now offers a series of Teradici-based     products that provide a high performance centralized computing experience     over copper or fibre infrastructures. --  Providing cutting-edge PC blade hardware: ClearCube has introduced new     PC blade products, including the R1300, R2200, A1410 and R1350, which     enhance the performance of centralized PC resources while allowing     ClearCube's solutions to work in a wide range of demanding customer     environments. --  Earning industry accolades: ClearCube won the VMworld Gold Award for     Best Desktop Virtualization Technology with Sentral 5.5.      

"ClearCube is a clear innovator in centralized computing," said Michael Rose, research analyst at IDC. "The company demonstrated this throughout 2007 by introducing its Sentral VDI Management system and new PC blade hardware that enables high-performance computing functions while also looking to the future of centralized computing: desktop virtualization."

"CDW Healthcare has built its brand on delivering best-in-class technology and services to our customers," said Bob Rossi, senior director, CDW Healthcare. "ClearCube's innovative centralized desktop computing solutions extend our value into the healthcare segment, enabling provider organizations to simplify their IT management processes while equipping caregivers with access to critical patient data.
