FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bocada Meets Requirements for Regulatory Compliance Across Global Backup Operations

Bocada Demonstrates Data Protection Management at Storage Decisions Conference

Chicago, IL - May 25, 2005 - Bocada, Inc., the leading provider of data protection management software for the enterprise today announced that 30 more of its BackupReport® enterprise customers have successfully passed federal regulatory compliance audits of their data backup operations. Bocada will showcase BackupReport, its flagship product, and demonstrate its compliance and policy management capabilities at the Storage Decisions Conference in Chicago, May 25th - 27th, booth # 340.

"Data protection management has become an enterprise necessity, driven in no small way by compliance issues," said Brad O'Neill of the Taneja Group. "Bocada will continue to attract customers that face compliance challenges because it provides the required, vendor-neutral, level of visibility that is not possible through backup applications themselves."

The advent of Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, FDA Regulation 21 CFR Part 11 and SEC regulation 17a-4, have encouraged market-leading Bocada customers, such as Valero Energy Corporation, Catholic Healthcare Partners and Aegon, to implement BackupReport to ensure their data protection operations comply with regulations and internal policies. BackupReport not only serves as the documented control required by many of these regulations, but also automates the collection, analysis and delivery of comprehensive information on the performance and results of all data backup efforts.

Bocada's unique, agentless and vendor-neutral approach has enabled even the largest enterprise customers to deploy across their global data protection infrastructure often in less than three weeks. Bocada has documented saving customers millions of dollars annually in management, administrative, audit and capital costs.
