  MARLBORO, MA, May 07 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Egenera Inc., the data center virtualization company, today announced its
strong
support for Fujitsu Siemens Computers' launch of ServerView PAN Manager(TM) on
PRIMERGY blade servers (see Fujitsu Siemens Computers news release).  The two
companies first established a successful OEM relationship centered on the
Egenera(R) BladeFrame(R) system in 2005, amassing a strong enterprise customer
base in more than 20 countries, including significant wins in the service
provider, financial services and government sectors.  Late in 2007, Fujitsu
Siemens
Computerswas introduced as Egenera's first OEM for Egenera(R) PAN Manager(TM)
software.  With
today's launch, Fujitsu Siemens Computers delivers on its vision to integrate
PAN Manager as a key component of its Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI)
solutions for the Dynamic Data Center.

    ServerView PAN Manager extends Fujitsu Siemens Computers' innovative
FlexFrame
Infrastructure platform, which drives business-responsive IT by using proven
PAN Manager virtualization and automation technologies to create
consolidated, Dynamic Data Centers.  Starting with the integration of PAN
Manager
with its PRIMERGY BX600 blade server family, Fujitsu Siemens Computers plans to
leverage the unique capabilities of Egenera PAN Manager software across its
portfolio of blade servers.  With Fujitsu Siemens Computers now offering its
customers PAN Manager software, Egenera addresses a larger market opportunity
and
extends its strategy to make PAN Manager the industry standard for
Infrastructure Virtualization by partnering with a number of strategic
hardware partners.

    PRIMERGY BX600 from Fujitsu Siemens Computers is a flexible and efficient
blade
server with an optimal architecture for integrating Intel(R)- and
AMD(R)-based processor technologies.  Its Advanced Blade Ecosystem offers
improved performance and reduces energy consumption in enterprise data
centers.  All components are highly integrated and benefit from
centralizedcooling- and power-supply systems.

    PAN Manager software delivers Infrastructure Virtualization by combining
server
virtualization with network and storage virtualization.  By transforming IT
infrastructure into flexible, changeable and scalable assets that can be
allocated
as needed, PAN Manager provides rapid time-to-market, dynamic scalability and
cost-effective high availability.

    PAN Manager software complements widely deployed hypervisors by delivering
Infrastructure Virtualization that provides:


--  Simple and seamless provisioning and management for both physical and
    virtual servers, virtual networks and storage;
--  Cost-effective high availability through patented N+1 technology;
--  Verifiable disaster recovery through patented N+1 disaster recovery
    technology;
--  Simple right sizing and scalability through dynamic repurposing; and
--  Effective chargeback capabilities, logical, secure partitioning, and
    named pools of resources.
    

    
"PAN Manager software is a key technology for FlexFrame
Infrastructure,whose combination provides customers with proven infrastructure
agility, high
availability and cost savings," said Jens-Peter Seick, senior vice president,
Enterprise Server Business at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "Today, we're pleased
to
extend that unique value beyond the PRIMERGY BladeFrame to our industry-standard
blade server family."
