Secureway Will Build Ipanema Technologies' Presence and Support Service Providers to Launch Cloud-Ready Managed Services Across Middle East

DUBAI, UAE, October 11, 2010 - Ipanema Technologies (www.ipanematech.com/) -the industry leader
of WAN Governance and application-centric VPN services- today announced a
partnership with Secureway (www.secureway.ae/index.php?id=1) Network
Distributors, the award winning and leading Security and Networking
distributor in the Middle East.

Under the agreement, Secureway will represent Ipanema Technologies as
their Value Added Distributor (VAD) for the GCC countries and provide local
expertise, support and services for service providers, System Integrators and
Value Added Resellers (VARs) using Ipanema's portfolio of technologies to
build advanced governance and application-based virtual private network (VPN)
services.

Ipanema's Autonomic Networking System (ANS(TM)) has been the enabling
technology for Wan Governance managed services provided by premier global
service providers such as OBS, Cable and Wireless, Swisscom, BT, COLT,
Belgacom, Telecom Italia and many others.

Said Fari Boustantchi, CEO of Secureway Group: "Due to the
special cost structure and geographical positioning of UAE and the GCC
countries, WAN Governance and WAN Optimisation are increasingly sought after
by savvy enterprises looking to reduce risks, manage the data explosion and
its associated cost implications. We see this as highly complementary to our
existing security business."

Mr. Boustantchi continued "We have been carefully evaluating a
number of WAN Optimisation vendors, and I am very happy to say that we have
chosen Ipanema based on the completeness of their offering and a proven
industrialized solution which has been a core part of the managed services of
many service providers for the past 10 years."

Reza Mahdavi, President of Ipanema Technologies, was very
excited about this partnership: "WAN Governance has finally arrived in the
Middle East. Having been deeply involved in building the initial network
infrastructure in the GCC countries while responsible formanaging emerging
developing countries at CISCO, I am very happy to also be a part of launching
the technology that puts the intelligence on top of those networks. We see
this as an important development for Ipanema. I am attending Telecom World
Middle East to discuss the need for going beyond MPLS by providing the
required visibility and autonomic control for today's advanced networks. Our
launch at this event is a great opportunity to exchange ideas and to develop
relationships with regional service providers."

The new challenging enterprise environment requires the
implementation of strategic IT transformation initiatives which dramatically
increase the pressure on the network. Desktop virtualization, unified
communications, Web applications, video streaming, telepresence, hybrid
networks and the evolution to cloud computing all drive the need for
predictable, real-time, optimized and controlled network performance. The WAN
has become a strategic asset of the enterprise productivity.

Realising these initiatives means that the network is getting more and
more complex to both implement and operate inorder to match the Enterprise's
strive for agility. This requires providing application awareness, control
and optimisation of applications.

And this represents a fantastic opportunity for service providers to go
beyond basic transport services and provide an autonomic network
infrastructure for their enterprise customers as a strategic asset in the
overall IT chain.

Ipanema's solutions are already used by companies including
Orange Business Services, BT, Cable and Wireless, Belgacom, Swisscom, Telecom
Italia, Fastweb, Reliance, Tata Communications, Colt and KDDI.
