WebEx Selects Solidcore IT Operations Control Solution as Global Standard

Solidcore's next-generation control software deployed by real-time collaboration leader

SAN JOSE & PALO ALTO, California — August 24, 2005 — Solidcore Systems, Inc., the leading developer of control, compliance, and security solutions, today announced that web collaboration leader WebEx Communications has selected Solidcore as the global standard control technology for servers across the organization.

"Solidcore allows us to create a reliable, controlled state for the servers that support our worldwide application delivery network," said Shawn Farshchi, CIO and vice president of technical operations at WebEx.

Solidcore helps organizations gain proactive control of their IT operations. The company's "deploy-and-forget" Solidification™ technology delivers total IT control, ensuring that "solidified" computing devices execute only authorized code and changes. Solidification provides a layer of control with minimal operational impact by establishing a baseline on each computing device without necessitating user input or configuration. Each unique baseline cannot be changed outside defined change control processes. With Solidification, an organization owns the change control process rather than assigning it to individuals, thus greatly reducing business risk and costs.

"The selection of Solidcore's control technology demonstrates the WebEx commitment to ensuring a successful experience for every one of their users," said Robert Sandie, executive vice president of corporate development at Solidcore. "It is a privilege to do business with an industry leader that has such a clear focus on providing the products that will ensure its customers' success."
