EMC Proven Infrastructure and SRDF Technology Simplifies the Process

of Global Application Content and Functionality Distribution

AppGenesys, Inc., the Certified Internet Infrastructure management provider for Global 2000 companies, today announced it has formed an alliance with EMC Corporation, the world leader in information storage, to integrate EMC's Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF)(TM) software with AppGenesys' product portfolio. The alliance will allow AppGenesys to use EMC's remote mirroring technology to simplify the process of migrating their e-business customers' Web applications from staging to production.

Through an innovative use of EMC's SRDF software, AppGenesys will distribute an exact copy of its Global 2000 customers' e-business, bit-by-bit, from a remote staging environment with Symmetrix(R) Enterprise Storage to an EMC Symmetrix system in the live production environment. This service feature represents a new capability of Internet applications transfer that will continue to enable e-business to thrive on a global basis.

"As the size and complexity of e-business grows, EMC's SRDF technology is an ideal tool for the distribution of functionality and content over long distances," said Jim Rothnie, EMC's Chief Technology Officer. "The combination of AppGenesys' tools and SRDF will allow customers to transfer Web site content with ease and efficiency and will eliminate many of the issues normally associated with such a complex task."

Benjamin Chen, Chairman and CTO of AppGenesys added: "EMC's technology allows AppGenesys the ability to easily manage and distribute multiple e-business initiatives for clients on an ongoing and worldwide basis. This newly developed capability ensures that Global 2000 clients will get copy-exact updates of their Web sites into their live environments."

As part of the alliance, AppGenesys has achieved the highest level of EMC Proven(TM) qualification, and will work closely with EMC to provide customers with the unique benefits of EMC's SRDF capabilities, signifying another step forward in its strategy to forge deep partnerships with top-tier IT vendors so that it can better test, monitor and manage the development and deployment of large corporate e-business applications.
