New CATxIP5000 Challenges Existing Enterprise KVM Perception

SINGAPORE, April 28, 2010 - Adder (www.adder.com/welcome.aspx), a leading developer of KVM
switches, extenders and KVM over IP solutions, today announced the
availability of the CATxIP5000 (
www.adder.com/uk/products/adderviewcatxip5000.aspx).

Adder is one of the unique thought leaders in KVM technology that you can
guarantee will deliver something extraordinary. The latest and possibly most
disruptive KVM-over-IP technology that Adder has developed is the new
CATxIP5000. This product pushes the boundaries of existing KVM technology by
delivering the same functionality that you would find in a large power hungry
KVM switch in an astonishingly small, low power and low cost package.

Together with chip designers Adventiq, Adder has developed a 16 port CATx
KVM switch which delivers 4 independent non-blocking remote access sessions
over standard network infrastructure. Adder's continued Research and
Development in KVM over IP technology and the use of unique chipsets from
Adventiq has resulted in a design breakthrough that enables an enterprise
grade multi-session KVM-over-IP switch to be delivered at less than half the
cost that would normally be expected for such functionality.

Nigel Dickens, Adder's CTO commented "Previous multi-session KVM products
have been too expensive to justify in many instances but this technology
changes all that. The high performance to price ratio is all down to the
uniqueness of the design concept - aspects of which are very different to
existing KVM-over-IP solutions."

Integrating the latest generation of viewers from the inventors of VNC
technology (Real VNC), the CATxIP5000 is ready to go straight from the box.
Adder's ingrained principal of open architecture also means you can use the
device with any other VNC application on the market.

Furthermore, at launch, this device will ship with the ADDER.net network
management suite. ADDER.net has been 3 years in development, and offers
enterprise scale management of IP control devices and virtual servers.
ADDER.net puts all your equipment within easy reach from a single well
thought out interface. The software presents itself in two forms; Management
Suite and Connection Suite, allowing different user levels to gain
administrative access. Fully integrated with active directory, users can be
authenticated against your existing infrastructure. The system is also server
based giving all users direct access, authentication dependant, from any
networked machine, any time.

The CATxIP5000 is available immediately from Adder at a launch price of
$1750 USD. For more information on Adder and the CATxIP5000, simply visit
