Liquid Computing Announces LiquidIQ 3.0 Unified Computing System Powered By
Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5500 Series Processors

Enables Customers to Rapidly Scale New Services, Efficiently Manage Quality of
Service and Dramatically Lower Operating Costs

OTTAWA, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Liquid Computing, a leader in unified
computing infrastructure for the dynamic data center, today announced the
LiquidIQ 3.0 unified computing system powered by Intel Xeon 5500 Series
Processors. The Intel Xeon 5500 Series Processor, also known by the code name
"Nehalem", takes the powerful performance, agility, and operational cost
saving benefits of LiquidIQ to a new level, providing customers with even more
horsepower and bandwidth to run either multi-tier, data intensive applications
or virtualized applications while significantly decreasing power utilization
and reducing space consumption by 50 percent.

"Intel and Liquid Computing share a common goal of driving innovation to help
data centers more effectively support business demands while reducing
operating costs," said Doug Cooper, country manager, Intel Canada. "Powered
by the Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series, LiquidIQ 3.0 achieves this goal in
unified computing for data centers that support both virtualized and bare
metal operations with significant leaps in performance, space utilization, and
power efficiency."

The LiquidIQ unified computing platform is already in use in customer data
centers today and provides total control over the delivery and quality of the
on-demand business applications they manage, while at the same time
significantly reducing data center operating costs. LiquidIQ is
standards-based, certified to support major operating systems, and is the only
unified computing system designed from the ground up to support applications
running on bare-metal and those running within virtualized environments.

"Unified computing is part of the next wave of transformation that will
redefine IT and the role it plays in our companies," said Zeus Kerravala,
senior vice president, Yankee Group. "In launching LiquidIQ 3.0 with the
Intel Xeon 5500 series processor, Liquid Computing seeks to lead this
transformation and reduce the complexity data centers face by enabling
management of physical and virtual data center resources as one."

LiquidIQ 3.0 powered by Intel Xeon 5500 series processor delivers:

-- SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE: LiquidIQ 3.0 delivers unsurpassed
next-generation
compute performance for both bare metal and virtualized applications
by
leveraging the Xeon 5500's breakthroughs in processing speed,
memory, and efficiency (memory architecture, quick path bus,
multi-cores, multi-threading, enhanced caching architecture, enhanced
instruction sets). Improved bandwidth management and utilization is
also achieved by leveraging the processor's powerful I/O
capabilities to integrate switching capabilities onto the compute
blade.
-- INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT: LiquidIQ 3.0 combines advanced power
control technology that leverages the Xeon 5500's energy efficiency
and intelligent energy management capabilities to deliver
best-in-class
power consumption efficiency.
-- 2X SPACE UTILIZATION: LiquidIQ 3.0, powered by the Xeon 5500, doubles
on-board compute blade density from 20 to 40 per chassis, enabling
data
centers to significantly improve space utilization while reducing
costs.
-- VIRTUALIZATION: LiquidIQ extends the efficiency enabled by
application
layer virtualization all the way down to underlying physical IT
infrastructure. With Liquid Computing's stateless deployment of
the Xeon 5500, customers benefit from enhanced performance and
unmatched
security in any operating environment.

"LiquidIQ 3.0 powered by the Intel Xeon 5500 series processor raises the bar
for the next generation of IT infrastructure," said Vikram Desai, CEO of
Liquid Computing. "The combined technologies of Liquid Computing and Intel
provide significant advantages for our customers, who operate both virtualized
and bare metal applications and are under constant pressure to more
effectively scale and deliver critical on-demand business applications with
greater quality yet fewer and fewer resources."
