FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Centralis Named First UK Platinum Partner—Ready-Informatics, Italy's Largest IT Distributor, Accelerates Thinstall’s European Sales

SAN FRANCISCO, California – May 22, 2007 – Thinstall, the leading Application Virtualization solution provider, today announced the expansion of its Distribution Partner Program in Europe, naming Centralis as its first-ever UK Platinum Partner. Thinstall also added Italy’s ‘high value added’ IT distributor, ReadyÒ-Informatics as partner to accelerate Thinstall sales through its certified reseller network.

"Thinstall is a great complement to our existing portfolio of products, and we are excited about the opportunity to develop the Italian market for application virtualization,” said Marco Lorefice, marketing director for Ready Informatica. “We see high demand and a myriad of opportunities available for Thinstall to virtualize Windows and Vista applications. Thinstall outperforms other SVS solutions, to give terrific savings and customer satisfaction. For the sales channel, there is nothing like it, with margins and pricing leaving room for added value. Our key resellers (among which is EDS Italia) are already putting their reputations into action, advancing Thinstall over other solutions.”

Thinstall Certified Partner (TCP) program gives distributor’s sales advantage, providing their network of software resellers, VARs and system integrators the power of Thinstall’s certification to help corporate IT customers jump-start their virtualization programs. The goal of worldwide distribution partners is quickly advancing sales of Thinstall over competitive, but costly and cumbersome, enterprise software management solutions.

Applications virtualized with Thinstall can be accessed and updated over an existing delivery infrastructure such as internal company networks, the Internet, Web servers, CD-ROM and Flash devices. The application can be run on-demand on locked down desktops, offline laptops, Terminal Servers and Citrix environments.

“Virtualization is poised to be a fast-growth software segment in the next decade, and as Thinstall’s first UK Platinum Partner, Centralis is opening the channel for one of the few companies worldwide to be recognized as experts in application virtualization,” said Robert Greenslade, UK sales and marketing manager, Centralis. “The partnership with Thinstall is important to our portfolio of best-of-breed solutions for streaming and virtualization technologies. We anticipate strong customer demand for this solution across Europe.”

“We are pleased to have top-tier partners like Centralis and Ready Informatica providing a channel for Thinstall to extend its leadership position in application virtualization, and give us momentum to meet the global demand,” says Henrik Rosendahl, executive vice president of Thinstall. “Thinstall distributors and resellers are ready for wide IT adoption of application virtualization solutions, and Thinstall is on course to press into the market lead in Europe.”

Thinstall is the next generation of application deployment. Thinstall’s Application Virtualization Platform virtualizes software delivery and access, enabling software companies and enterprises to deploy software without modifying the local operation system. Companies can deploy custom and licensed software across mixed Windows and locked down corporate desktop environments without installation conflicts, system changes or impact on stability. Software updates are easier and faster because regression testing can be reduced to days instead of weeks while installation failures and the associated help desk costs are eliminated.

Thinstall is a client-less application virtualization solution that allows applications to be packaged into simple EXE files that run in user-mode, isolated from the host PC, without installation or changes to the local desktop’s registry and file system. The unique, client-less architecture allows “Thinstalled” applications to be run from any LAN, WAN, USB, CD-Rom drive, etc., with zero-footprint on the host PC. The applications run exclusively in user mode, ensuring seamless execution on locked down desktops with no device drives installed, enabling administrations to maintain a secure, clean and stable user desktop and consequently, a heightened level of security.

Founded in 1999, Thinstall has been deployed to millions of desktops around the world. Customers include GE, the US Department of Defense, Qualcomm, Lucent, Northrop Grumman, Morgan Stanley, T-Systems, and Abbott Labs. Thinstall is privately held with company headquarters in San Francisco, CA. For more information, please visit the company’s Web site at www.thinstall.com or call 415-274-2558.
