        Infrastructure Management and Business Activity Metrics
WALTHAM, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
NetCracker Technology, the leader in Service Layer
Transformation(TM), announced today its Pasadena Product Release -- a
continuing demonstration of NetCracker's innovation and leadership in
the industry.

   With Pasadena, NetCracker continues to support its customer base
-- and the industry -- with leading-edge OSS solutions. Pasadena
provides advanced support for OSS transformational projects by
reducing time to market for complex new services, by incorporating
Data Center Infrastructure Management in its integrated Network and IT
platform, and by providing business activity metrics.

   Pasadena -- built on NetCracker's state-of-the-art, innovative,
standards-based platform -- enables NetCracker customers to deliver
high-end products in a competitive market; achieve rapid ROI; reduce
implementation, upgrade, and support costs; and drive down the Total
Cost of Ownership.

   "With Pasadena, NetCracker adds significant functional coverage
and depth to its industry-leading OSS solution suite," said Andrew
Feinberg, President and CEO of NetCracker Technology. "With each new
release, we provide the out-of-the-box functionality our customers
need to support their business objectives, leveraging the experience
we have gained through numerous on-time, on-budget implementations."

   Pasadena's Value-Added Enhancements

       --  Return on Investment: With Pasadena, NetCracker customers
            can perform rapid OSS transformations that will reduce
            time to market for new services and thereby produce a
            rapid return on investment. This benefit is made possible
            through enhancements in multiple areas including advanced
            integration and data migration frameworks, pre-packaged
            integration adapters, and technology packs. It is also
            made possible by NetCracker's industry-first,
            preintegrated, customer-order-to-resource-activation
            product that is unified on a single platform and deployed
            in Tier 1 carriers worldwide.

       --  Technology and Functional Effectiveness: Pasadena extends
            NetCracker's lead in comprehensive product support for all
            modern wireline, wireless, and IT infrastructures in one
            unified, standards-based, modular package by adding:

           --  Data Center Infrastructure Management

           --  Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) solutions

           --  3G and 4G technologies (including various UMTS
                releases)

           --  OSS/J Service Inventory and Order Management, and
                MTOSI 1.1 APIs

   These technologies, combined with ready-to-go services and product
modules for All-Play offerings, help NetCracker customers unify their
OSS environments.

       --  Operational Excellence: In the highly competitive
            Communications Service Provider environment, operational
            excellence and reduced operational costs are key success
            factors. Pasadena's enhanced Business Process Management
            (BPM) and the new Business Activity Monitoring (BAM)
            components provide business-level management and a view of
            internal and partner-related processes and business
            activities, all orchestrated by NetCracker's solution.

   Additional business benefits are realized from functionality that
includes Advanced Order Capture and Handling and a Pricing Engine for
Retail, Business, and Wholesale products.

   Pasadena brings NetCracker's customers value-added and functional
enhancements -- business-oriented functionality, the accommodation of
new technologies, and continuing support for industry standards.
