KACE Eliminates Application Virtualization Barriers

New Virtual Kontainer Technology Creates, Deploys, and Manages Virtual
Applications from Anywhere, Dramatically Cutting Time and Costs
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
KACE, the leading systems management appliance company, today announced KACE
Virtual Kontainers to help companies dramatically simplify the distribution and
management of applications. This announcement, which signifies KACE`s entry into
the exploding application virtualization market, comes on the heels of new
Forrester Business Data Services (BDS) research that reported a whopping 74
percent of small- to medium-sized businesses are looking to desktop and
application virtualization to solve their costly PC management challenges.

Application virtualization solutions are notorious for their high cost and
complexity. KACE Virtual Kontainers, the first technology innovation resulting
from KACE`s acquisition of Computers in Motion, provides users with an easier,
faster, and significantly less expensive alternative for creating, deploying,
and managing virtual applications. What`s more, KACE offers all these functions
via a single, integrated Web-based console. KACE Virtual Kontainers is the
newest addition to KACE`s award-winning KBOX family of systems management and
deployment appliances and the latest technology innovation that saves customers
significant time and money.

"Application virtualization is playing an increasingly important role in helping
IT organizations navigate challenging economic times. The incredible cost and
time savings that KACE Virtual Kontainers offers is game-changing for
organizations of all sizes," said Marty Kacin, president, CTO, and co-founder of
KACE. "KACE has created a product that offers all the resource-saving benefits
of past solutions and more, while at the same time eliminating the complexity.
With this new technology, KACE has torn down the barriers, allowing
organizations to reap the benefits of application virtualization."

With KACE Virtual Kontainers, KACE pushes traditional application virtualization
technologies to a new level by extending the benefits beyond the features
typically associated with these solutions. Some of the new features of KACE
Virtual Kontainers include:

* Application Isolation - isolated applications eliminate the need for
traditional application installation and removal to avoid the decay that occurs
when installing and removing application files over time;
* Simple and Fully Automated Creation - KACE Virtual Kontainers are easily
created without the need of specialized skills so experienced (and more
expensive) personnel need not waste time learning yet another way of doing
business;
* Centralized Appliance-Based Management - centralized management provides an
intuitive Web-based console that allows management of the entire application
lifecycle from anywhere via an easy-to-deploy appliance;
* Active Metering and Control - in order to better manage the use of
applications across a corporate network, active metering enables complete
control of where and when applications may be executed based on location, hours
used, and even on the number of available licenses to enforce concurrent license
limits.

"KACE Virtual Kontainers will make it easier for us to push applications out to
our users, and then manage those applications throughout their lifecycle," says
Rick Cahoon, enterprise support manager for Wilbur Ellis, a leading
international marketer and distributor of agricultural and industrial products.
"By introducing Virtual Kontainers as an integrated part of the KBOX appliance,
KACE has made it a snap for mid-sized organizations like ours to reap the
benefits of application virtualization."

KACE saves its customers both time and money. Systems managers from medium-sized
enterprises are often forced to wear many hats throughout the day to work on a
myriad of IT functions. KACE helps consolidate these functions by providing a
single appliance for all projects, while delivering easy-to-use, comprehensive
systems management that is affordable. The KBOX family of appliances fulfills
all of the systems management needs of a medium enterprise, from initial
computer deployment to ongoing management and retirement.

KACE Virtual Kontainers will be generally available in April. Application
Kontainers represent the first of additional virtual Kontainer technologies to
come from KACE.
