Customers Invited to Try Network Attached Processing at No Cost

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California – February 2, 2005 - Azul Systems, Inc. today announced the Azul™ No Cost Evaluation Program that offers enterprise customers, at no cost and on their premises, to experience the dramatic scalability and efficiency benefits of network attached processing, the company’s innovative approach to delivering unbound compute resources for today’s virtual machine-based applications.

For a limited time, the Azul No Cost Evaluation Program lets qualified customers evaluate the new technology at their site for up to 45 days at no cost, which includes shipping, installation, configuration, optimization services and support. The program offers up to two Azul compute appliances designed and optimized for virtual machine-based execution and the Azul Compute Pool Manager, a policy-based management solution that provides comprehensive command and control of compute pool resources.

“The No Cost Evaluation Program is a unique opportunity for customers to seize the first-mover advantage and take their Java™ and J2EE™ platform-based deployments to the next level,” said Shahin Khan, vice president and chief marketing officer at Azul Systems Inc. “Network attached processing has already been battle-tested in some of the most demanding enterprise class data centers in sectors like financial services, telecommunications and transportation and will represent the new era of computing.”

Azul network attached processing is fully compliant with the J2SE standard and lets multiple Java applications tap into a shared compute pool optimized for multi-threaded execution.
