Xeround Launches Xeround Intelligent Data Grid Version 2.8

Bellevue, Washington (ots/PRNewswire) -

- New Release Supports More Architectures; Increases
Manageability to Further Improve Total Cost of Ownership

Xeround, Inc., a provider of real-time database virtualization
software, today announced the launch of the Xeround Intelligent Data
Grid(TM) version 2.8. Xeround's vision is to enable cloud computing
infrastructures for its customers by delivering data management
within a cloud and data federation between clouds. This release
improves upon Xeround IDG's capabilities for real time, scalable
database virtualization that unifies data across multiple networks
and businesses while still improving total cost-of-ownership.
Customers implementing Xeround IDG version 2.8 can now extend the
life and usage of existing data assets to accelerate the time to
market of new products and services while dramatically reducing
costs.

Multiple market factors like the increased number of new service
offerings and ongoing industry consolidation have left many
companies, particularly communications service providers, struggling
with massive increases in data -- much of it housed in disparate,
legacy silos spread throughout their computing infrastructure.
Because the ability to quickly create new, differentiated services
is dependent on fast, reliable access to data stores, these
companies risk losing out on new market opportunities. Enter the
Xeround IDG Suite -- the only database virtualization software
capable of breaking the "silo barrier" to reach disparate data
sources and reliably deliver data in real-time anywhere and anytime
across multiple applications and networks.

"Xeround IDG was designed to address the need for highly scalable
'in-the-network' data management," said Charlotte Yarkoni, CEO,
Xeround. "With Version 2.8, we've enhanced our product to support a
greater number of architectures and added more flexibility for
managing the system. With this release, we continue to lead the
market with an unparalleled commitment to reducing infrastructure
costs and deliver superior performance."

Xeround IDG is built on a patented technology that can unify data
across multiple networks and businesses in real-time and make that
information available across a company's entire ecosystem of network
elements and applications. Unlike point products or custom solutions,
Xeround IDG is a scalable, reusable, easy-to-implement distributed
architecture that increases the efficiency of existing
infrastructures.

"Xeround IDG provides us the ability to support multiple data
types in one solution, accelerating our ability to launch new
services for our customers and reducing infrastructure costs," said
Ilan Alter, director, Cellular Applications at Pelephone. "Xeround
has become a trusted partner, consistently delivering innovative
technology along with superior customer support."

The Next Evolution -- Xeround IDG Version 2.8

Xeround IDG version 2.8 allows for real-time access to data
regardless of where it physically exists, provides support for
multiple data access protocols and also has a flexible self-healing
architecture that allows for continuity of service even in the event
of a failure. Other enhancements found in version 2.8 include:

-- Flexible Data Distribution and Replication Modeling
- Increased the types of architectures supported to ensure the right
tradeoffs between performance and reliability
- Customers can choose the optimal architecture for their application
requirements and can change it with a simple configuration update
-- Persistent Storage Enhancements
- Includes high-performance writes of data to disks for persistency
- Transaction processing continues uninterrupted even if part of the
system is down or in recovery mode
-- Expanded SQL and Transaction Support
- Allows processing of diverse data access sets and usage patterns
including real-time, near real-time and full table-scan querying
patterns
- Includes support for multiple applications updating the same data
record without sacrificing data integrity or high-performance
-- Improved Manageability
- Offers a GUI-based System Health Monitor module with expanded
capabilities for reporting point failures and understanding overall
system health across a distributed environment

Availability and Pricing

Xeround IDG version 2.8 is currently in beta and will be made
generally available to the public in late January 2009. Xeround's
pricing options are tailored to meet customer business models and
include project-based professional services for faster integration
into existing environments.
