Virtacore Among First to Offer Google Apps for Business Along with Hybrid Cloud Services

Customers benefit from a single provider for all cloud services

ASHBURN, Virginia, December 16, 2010 - Virtacore Systems, Inc., a leading provider of hybrid cloud computing
solutions designed to meet the dynamic needs of middle market and emerging
businesses, announced today it will offer Google Apps for Business and ISPs
as part of its growing cloud services, becoming one of the first providers to
deliver both hybrid clouds and Google Apps for Business.

The upcoming first quarter 2011 launch of Google Apps for Business from
Virtacore coincides with the recent unveiling of its vCore(TM) platform, the
first infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offering tailored to meet the
swiftly changing needs of middle market and emerging businesses, independent
software vendors, telcos and service providers.

Virtacore will take over the role previous fulfilled by its parent
company, IKANO Communications, as a key wholesale partner for Google Apps for
ISPs, which has seen wide interest from wireless and fiber service providers,
ILECs and CLECs, cable companies, and even municipalities. Virtacore will
also serve as a reseller of Google Apps for Business, an enterprise and
SMB-focused offering. Because IKANO was one of the first companies to join
Google's solutions provider program, its team brings unsurpassed experience
and migration knowledge arising from the transition of hundreds of businesses
domestically and internationally to Google Apps.

Virtacore will supply businesses of all sizes Google's popular email and
communications tools, such as Gmail - including Postini anti-spam and
anti-virus protection, Google Docs collaboration tools, Google Calendar
shared calendaring functionality, Google Talk instant messaging with voice
and video chat, and Google Blackberry Enterprise Server (GBES) hosting and
management. Virtacore will also provide implementation services including
Exchange migration, project management, help desk and call center training,
and customer/employee communications. Over 3,000 businesses per day signup
for Google Apps.

"Virtacore can now provide what many companies are seeking - a cloud
provider that can assist at every step of the company's development with
every dimension of cloud services," commented George Naspo, CEO of Virtacore.
"Whether just starting with email or going all the way to virtualizing entire
data centers, Virtacore will support and manage important cloud
implementations for business of all sizes."

Today, more than 3 million businesses have moved beyond traditional
software and hardware to cloud computing - where data and applications live
online and resources can be provisioned and managed "on the fly". IT managers
are moving rapidly to transition to managing cloud services rather than
managing in-house hardware and network operations for their businesses.
Virtacore's combined Google Apps for Business and vCore-based public and
private cloud offerings can help accelerate adoption of cloud services for
organizations.
