EMC To Acquire Kazeon Systems, Inc.

Kazeon's End-to-End eDiscovery Solution Will Extend EMC SourceOne, Delivering
the Market's First Integrated eDiscovery, Archiving and Compliance Offering

HOPKINTON, Mass., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the
world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced it has
signed a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held Kazeon Systems, Inc
.-- a leading eDiscovery software provider for corporations, legal service
providers, government entities and law firms. The transaction is expected to
close in Q3 2009, subject to customary closing conditions and is not expected
to have a material impact to revenue or EPS for the full 2009 fiscal year.

With Kazeon, EMC will be able to offer end-to-end, in-house eDiscovery and
litigation readiness solutions as part of the EMC SourceOne family for
integrated but modular eDiscovery, archiving and compliance. Kazeon allows
organizations to quickly and reliably identify, preserve, collect, process,
analyze and review information in accordance with the widely accepted EDRM
(Electronic Discovery Reference Model) framework. Core to Kazeon is its
ability to handle Electronically Stored Information (ESI) that resides
anywhere in the enterprise environment -- including content on laptops,
desktops, content management repositories (including, EMC Documentum),
Microsoft SharePoint and Exchange, Lotus Domino, email archives and file
shares.

The Kazeon offering is available as an appliance, enabling organizations to
quickly deploy the solution. This enables Early Case Assessment (ECA) to
determine case merit and legal strategies, possibly avoiding costly legal
fees. Kazeon's targeted collection capabilities ensure avoidance of the
classic problem of over-collection which often leads to high retention and
review costs. In addition, Kazeon's legal hold management capability ensures
no erroneous deletion of data and its metadata. Further, the Kazeon solution
is capable of performing fine-grained analytics, including concept-based
search and analysis, and offering a collaborative review platform for
distributed reviewers.

Kazeon enables organizations to take a proactive approach to eDiscovery. The
same solution that enables end-to-end, in-house eDiscovery can also be
leveraged for the policy management of information that resides in multiple
disparate systems across the enterprise. Kazeon is unique in its ability to
identify and classify information and take appropriate action, such as
preservation, deletion or migration of documents into EMC storage for
litigation hold, and EMC Documentum for records management.

The acquisition will further strengthen the power of EMC's SourceOne
portfolio. EMC SourceOne is an integrated family of products and solutions for
eDiscovery, archiving and compliance. Unlike other offerings, SourceOne offers
solutions that solve particular customer challenges today, and -- in
conjunction with the Data Loss Prevention capabilities offered by RSA, EMC's
security division -- EMC can now offer customers an industry-leading set of
capabilities for discovering, classifying and managing information, enabling a
full information governance strategy for the future. Each of the SourceOne
offerings stands alone, but also integrates in a modular way with each other
to provide a comprehensive solution. SourceOne leverages EMC tiered storage
and archive infrastructures.

"As legal, regulatory, and governance requirements continue to become more
stringent and expensive, it is now mandatory for customers to have a solid
in-house strategy for information governance and eDiscovery," said Andrew
Cohen, Vice President and General Manager of EMC's eDiscovery Business. "It no
longer makes sense to collect an over-sized set of content by reactively
gathering physical media, such as hard drives and backup tapes. Organizations
can save significant money by intelligently indexing and finding just the
relevant information, and then collecting it in forensically sound and secure
ways, all in-house. Kazeon, as part of the EMC SourceOne suite will solve
customer challenges across the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM).
With the addition of Kazeon to the EMC SourceOne family, we will be able to
offer our customers tremendous functionality, saving them money, reducing
risk, avoiding unnecessary legal fines and enabling them to deploy a true
information governance and eDiscovery strategy."

"At Kazeon, we're committed to providing customers with the most accurate,
scalable and legally defensible eDiscovery solutions," said Sudhakar Muddu,
Founder and CEO, Kazeon. "Customers across the globe are performing accurate
and efficient eDiscovery, realizing dramatic cost savings and risk reduction
by leveraging our broad range of solutions. Becoming part of EMC is the right
strategic move for us - giving us the resources of a world-class leader in
information management to effectively take our market vision to the next
level. We are excited about this acquisition."

Upon completion of the acquisition, Kazeon will become a part of EMC's Content
Management and Archiving Division.
