Idera Announces PowerShellPlus Professional Edition

HOUSTON, TX, Aug 25 (MARKET WIRE) --
Today, Idera announced its entry into the PowerShell tools market with
PowerShellPlus Professional Edition(TM), a powerful interactive scripting
environment for Windows PowerShell, Microsoft's command line shell and
scripting language. Idera, a leading provider of management and
administration solutions for Microsoft Windows, has partnered with
well-known Windows PowerShell authority and Microsoft MVP, Dr. Tobias
Weltner, to develop PowerShellPlus Professional Edition. PowerShellPlus
Professional Edition is currently available as a free public beta test
release and can be downloaded on the Idera web site, www.idera.com.

Intended for use by Windows systems administrators, IT professionals and
developers, PowerShellPlus makes it easy to learn and master PowerShell
as well as develop PowerShell scripts with greater speed and accuracy.
Based on PowerShellIDE, the first PowerShell console to offer a rich
graphical user interface, PowerShellPlus provides:

-- Interactive PowerShell Console - Enables ad-hoc execution of
PowerShell commands and easy scripting with IntelliSense style code
completion.
-- Comprehensive Learning and Help Center - Offers beginner and advanced
users a complete interactive learning center for Windows PowerShell and
PowerShellPlus.
-- Advanced Code Editor and Debugger - Increases the efficiency and
productivity of script builders.

"The addition of PowerShellPlus to Idera's award-winning product
portfolio demonstrates our continued commitment to offering our customers
solutions that reduce the complexity of systems administration so they
can direct their efforts to higher value activities," said Rick Pleczko,
President and CEO of Idera. "Unlike most of the basic script editors on
the market today, Idera's PowerShellPlus provides a comprehensive and
integrated scripting environment so users can significantly amplify their
efforts as they deliver automated solutions through PowerShell Scripting."

"Windows PowerShell has enormous potential to help IT organizations
automate a wide variety of tasks, simply and efficiently," said Jeffrey
Snover, Partner Architect of Windows PowerShell at Microsoft Corporation.
"Idera's PowerShellPlus will help all levels of PowerShell users, even a
complete beginner, quickly learn, master and become more productive using
PowerShell."

As with all of Idera's solutions, PowerShellPlus Professional Edition is
simple to download and deploy and provides value quickly. It is being
developed based on user needs, particularly the input of beta testers.
Beta testers of PowerShellPlus Professional Edition will receive a
discounted price for providing feedback.

Pricing and availability

The free public beta is open now through September 25, 2008. The
production version of PowerShellPlus Professional Edition will be
available beginning September 25, 2008 and will be priced at $145 per
user. Beta program participants will be able to purchase the product
during the beta period for a discounted price of $79 per user. Existing
