IRVINE, Calif., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- SMC Networks(R), a leading provider of
advanced, high performance networking solutions for the SMB and enterprise
markets, today announced that it continues to expand its channel relationships
as SMC partners with technology and services solution provider Pomeroy IT
Solutions, Inc., (Nasdaq: PMRY), creating an alliance that will add SMC's line
of networking solutions, including Gigabit and 10G network switches, wireless
access points and managed service platforms, to Pomeroy's comprehensive
offering of end-to-end enterprise IT infrastructure solutions. As SMC
continues its growth strategy, its install base will be able to leverage
Pomeroy's capabilities to expand their networking requirements.

The partnership with Pomeroy IT Solutions enables SMC to expand its business
and channel reach without impacting SMC's existing channel relationships.
SMC, which drives 100 percent of its sales through the channel, focuses on
developing products and services that deliver value, quality and compatibility
to enable its partners to gain net new business. Through this partnership, SMC
will leverage Pomeroy's resources and channel contacts to expand its business
into markets that were previously inaccessible through SMC's traditional
channel organization.

"SMC offers Pomeroy the opportunity to expand our business in various ways and
provide more value to our current and prospective customers," stated P.J.
Thelen, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Pomeroy. "SMC's
solutions offer a compelling combination of performance, feature sets and
value that make them attractive for deployment at the edges of even the most
demanding network infrastructures."

"Due to the rapid growth of SMC's expanding business in the SMB, hospitality,
high-performance computing, and enterprise sectors, we've had to enlist an
increasing number of different types of channel resellers to help us support
and service our growing customer base," explained Keith Alexis, Vice President
of Sales and Marketing for SMC Networks. "Our growing portfolio of
high-performance network infrastructure solutions is generating demand that
must be countered with an expansion in the number of resellers that we partner
with. We're particularly excited about the partnership with Pomeroy as it
helps us better support our current markets in the SMB, enterprise and
government sectors."
