KACE Expands Systems Management Leadership Into APAC Region with Strategic Wins in Indonesian Markets

Leader in Systems Management Appliances Sees 300 Percent Growth in Indonesia

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – August 11, 2008 – KACE™, the leading systems management appliance company, today announced significant momentum in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, this time in Indonesia where new distributors and resellers were signed and the customer base grew by 300 percent over that of 2007. KACE is experiencing great traction throughout the entire APAC region as a number of large and medium-sized enterprises seek an affordable and easy-to-use IT solution to match their systems management and deployment needs.

With more than 13,000 islands, a 225 million person population, and one of Asia’s most bandwidth- starved IT infrastructures, Indonesia experiences unique IT management challenges. The KBOX family of appliances offers a low-cost, high-quality solution providing affordable systems management which includes remote systems management and deployment, software distribution, patch management, vulnerability assessment and remediation, and policy enforcement. With KBOX, customers are able to run mission-critical tasks from a central hub to remote offices, or to remote PCs thousands of kilometers away.

“KACE is seeing rapid adoption of its technology and traction throughout Indonesia as a number of large- and medium-sized enterprises discover the benefits of our systems management appliances for time- and cost-effective solutions,” said Greg Lipper, KACE’s managing director for the Asia Pacific region. “Customers are benefiting without having to increase IT department staff levels and without the need for lengthy and costly implementations. We believe we’re winning in Indonesia because we’re offering functionality in a format and manner that Indonesian customers can easily deploy, manage, and afford. Our customers require a systems management solution that enables achievement of IT management tasks and objectives across great distances, slow networks, and over-stretched IT departments and KBOX addresses these needs, including remote office deployment, management and support capabilities.”

Recent customer wins in Indonesia include PT POS Indonesia, the nation’s postal service, a division of the Military of Indonesia, the Indonesian Department of Justice, and ChinaTrust Bank.

“KACE’s appliance-based systems management solution enables our disparate operations’to stay connected and operate at peak performance,” said Syahrial, CEO of Wasantara (www.wasantara.net.id), the systems integration and network management company which manages POS Indonesia’s IT infrastructure. ‘The KBOX enables us to offer a new range of services to our clients, which creates more value for our customers and also supports our new line of business, W-SMS (Wasantara Seat Management Services).”

Computrade Technology International (CTI), one of the leading IT infrastructure and solution distributors in Indonesia, recently became KACE’s distribution partner in Indonesia. CTI has incorporated KBOX as a strategic initiative because of the great market need it sees in Indonesia for comprehensive desktop management and software and OS deployment capabilities. Positioned as an IT infrastructure solution partner, CTI provides the CTI Technology Center, which is an integrated demo center for IT infrastructure solutions. Customers or business partners can utilize the center for KACE product demonstration showcase or proof of concept.

“Indonesian customers have been left unsatisfied by other systems management solutions on the market today because they are expensive to purchase and maintain, and proved too complex to deploy and manage,” said Harry Surjanto, CEO of CTI. “Indonesian companies want to streamline operations via systems management, but IT departments are stretched already, making it difficult to support users and disparate networks. KBOX is perfect for this market because it allows one person to do the work of 10 people simultaneously in multiple locations. We are seeing a great boost in KBOX adopters and expect that number to continue to grow.”

The KBOX appliances save customers both time and money. Systems managers are often forced to wear many hats throughout the day to work on a myriad of IT functions. KACE helps consolidate these functions providing a single appliance for all of their projects, while delivering easy-to-use, comprehensive systems management that is affordable. The KBOX family of appliances fulfills all of the systems management needs of a medium enterprise from initial computer deployment to ongoing management and retirement.
