NYFIX Chooses Egenera for Infrastructure Virtualization

MARLBORO, MA, Jul 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
Egenera Inc., the data center virtualization company, today announced
that electronic trading systems pioneer NYFIX (NASDAQ: NYFX) has
standardized on infrastructure virtualization solutions from Egenera.

"Given the mission critical nature of our applications, we needed a
platform with high availability and sophisticated management capabilities
to optimize our operations," said Don Henderson, CTO at NYFIX. "With
Egenera systems, we're able to rapidly provision servers and bring
applications to market much faster, and with far less infrastructure. This
helps us keep ahead of the competition and get new services to market
sooner."

Egenera(R) systems are highly available, flexible platforms that eliminate
the need to rigidly dedicate servers to applications. Instead, Egenera's
patented Processing Area Network (PAN) replaces server infrastructure with
software, and automatically repurposes and reallocates virtual and
physical servers on demand, with high availability and disaster recovery.

Available on multiple hardware platforms including Egenera's own
integrated BladeFrame(R) system, Egenera(R) PAN Manager(TM) software
delivers the next phase of virtualization by transforming physical and
virtual IT infrastructure into flexible, scalable assets that can be
allocated as needed. The result for customers is a dramatic improvement
in the flexibility, agility and economics of IT infrastructure through a
reduction in data center complexity.

NYFIX currently utilizes Egenera BladeFrame EX systems, which include 168
Processing Blade(TM) (pBlade(TM)) modules based on both Intel(R) and
AMD(R) processors.

"We see value in a tightly integrated, single management domain for both
our physical and virtual environments. Egenera vBlade software enables us
to reconfigure on the fly and provision a large number of servers
rapidly," continued Henderson. "We see Egenera as a strategic part of our
business and look forward to developing our relationship further."
