Appistry and NJVC to Deliver Secure Intelligence, Defense Clouds

Solution Furthers White House Push to Use Cloud Computing to Drive Innovation,
Lower Cost of Government Operations
SAN ANTONIO--(Business Wire)--
Appistry, a pioneer in private cloud computing for the enterprise, and NJVC, one
of the largest information technology solutions providers supporting the U.S.
Department of Defense, have announced a joint cloud computing solution
addressing the unique security requirements of the intelligence and defense
communities. The announcement was made yesterday evening during the
Appistry/NJVC co-sponsored opening reception at the GEOINT 2009 Symposium in San
Antonio.

The joint solution allows intelligence and defense enterprises to more easily
overcome the challenges associated with delivering mission-critical applications
via legacy data center architectures. By implementing a secure, reliable and
cost-effective private cloud solution powered by Appistry CloudIQ Platform,
joint customers are able to transform networks of commodity-grade servers into
an agile cloud environment that can be easily scaled and managed to support
sophisticated Web, SOA and analytical applications.

"Intelligence and defense are industries where `mission critical` is a reality,
not a buzzword," said Kevin Haar, CEO, Appistry. "Cloud-based solutions allow
agencies to more easily and economically meet the challenge of today`s
real-time, data-intensive applications."

NJVC brings to the solution offering proven success in deploying IT enterprise
management in very secure environments, allowing its customers to concentrate
resources on their core missions. To gain more complete knowledge about the
private cloud in a real-world environment, NJVC recently undertook a secure
cloud computing pilot study at its Center for Technology Integration facility,
which accurately simulates the enterprise environment of a large intelligence
community network. Pilot result analysis showed astounding performance gains.

"Together, NJVC and Appistry have developed a private cloud offering that is
relevant and workable for the intelligence and defense communities," said Jody
Tedesco, president and general manager, NJVC. "With the manageable, phased-in
approach that cloud computing offers, the risks are minimized while rewards are
maximized. We look forward to offering this solution to current and future
customers."

NJVC and Appistry recently released a white paper on the pilot project,
available by request or at either company`s booth at GEOINT. NJVC is located in
booth 855, and Appistry is in booth 749.
