BOCADA LEADS DATA PROTECTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE INDUSTRY IN SCALABILITY

Agent-less Bocada Enterprise Technology Helps Customers Manage More Assets Across Large Distributed Networks with Ease

Bellevue, WA, February 20, 2007 - Bocada, Inc., the leading provider of data protection management software, today announced that it has surpassed all other data protection management software vendors combined in the management of enterprise customer environments. With an installed base of over 400 customers, representing well over 350,000 servers under management, the Bocada Enterprise technology platform is the dominant choice for customers in the Fortune 500. This announcement emphasizes the continued growth of the DPM market overall, and reinforces Bocada’s leadership in the enterprise category.

“The fact that Bocada excels in high scale enterprises is well established. However, the fact that Bocada now has customers who are deploying their technology across 50,000 protected servers in a single instance - and looking to take those numbers even higher - is a testament to scaling on an entirely different order,” said Brad O'Neill, senior analyst with the Taneja Group. “The company's demonstration of such scalability will provide useful differentiation as Bocada looks to stay well ahead of its Fortune 500 customer requirements and its global service provider partners.”

Bocada Enterprise provides IT organizations and service providers with awareness, understanding and knowledge required to effectively manage data protection environments, drive down capital costs and increase operational efficiencies. The Bocada Enterprise platform aggregates, organizes and presents consolidated views of data protection across all major data protection applications, technologies and platforms, including those from Symantec, EMC/Legato, IBM ,CA, HP, Sun StorageTek (ACSLS), and Oracle (RMAN).

“An organization needs to take scalability into account when making a purchasing decision and Bocada’s proven ability to support large scale environments is unquestioned.” said O'Neill.

“We are excited about the level of activity in the DPM market overall and we continue to capitalize on our experience in large scale enterprise environments. Our customers continue to increase deployments, citing ease of implementation and of course the value they realize from our product as key driving factors,” said Nancy Hurley, vice president of marketing and business development for Bocada. “Our experience is essential to new customers as well, they trust we can meet the needs of the most demanding enterprise environments.”
