Evident Software Announces ClearStone(TM) Product Suite and DataSynapse as Its First OEM Partner at SOA World and Virtualization Conference & Expo 2007


NEWARK, NJ (June 25, 2007) -- Evident Software (http://www.evidentsoftware.com), an innovator in performance monitoring and service level reporting for the virtualized IT environment, announced today the company's new Evident ClearStone(TM) software suite www.evidentsoftware.com/products/clearstone_flash.html , initially focusing on applications running on compute and data grids.

Evident also announced today its first OEM agreement for Evident ClearStone with DataSynapse. Evident ClearStone is for use by enterprise clients, and as an OEM solution for virtualization and data center automation ISVs.

"Demand and availability need to be better understood in order for IT to deliver real-time infrastructure. Customers expect service levels to be met, and need to know the impact if they are not," commented Roger Boyce, CEO of Evident Software. "Evident ClearStone addresses the current demand for management tools that take a service-oriented view of performance, linking consumption across both physical and virtual
environments."

Evident fills this management void by correlating and enriching usage data in unique ways for operations, management and application architects. Capacity planning, optimization and business impact analysis will be common use models. Evident's initial target market is financial services, and the first Evident ClearStone customer - a leading investment bank - is already leveraging Evident ClearStone to optimize and report on performance for fixed income, equity and utility
services.

To accelerate adoption of the Evident ClearStone suite, Evident has signed an OEM agreement with leading virtualization software provider DataSynapse. Under this agreement, DataSynapse will utilize Evident's technology to provide integrated reporting, performance monitoring and chargeback solutions for GridServer®, FabricServer(TM), and other
third-party components.

"Enterprises who are creating a real-time infrastructure are constrained by inadequate visibility into business requirements and service performance. ClearStone addresses that need with a powerful analysis and reporting engine," said Peter Lee, CEO of DataSynapse, "delivering essential insight to optimize virtualized applications and implement utility operating models."
