Bluegate to Develop Mission-Critical VPN for Renaissance Healthcare Systems.

HOUSTON -- Bluegate (OTCBB:BGAT), a provider of IT outsourcing and managed security solutions for all points in the healthcare network, is expanding its managed network services relationship with Renaissance Healthcare Systems by deploying a fully managed and fault-tolerant Virtual Private Network (VPN) to securely interconnect all Renaissance facilities. The newly awarded contract will utilize Cisco's industry-leading PIX(TM) firewall technologies and VPN 3000 Series Concentrators(TM) to secure mission-critical data communications among the existing Renaissance hospital facilities while building a scalable network to integrate upcoming hospital acquisitions as Renaissance executes its business development plan. With the contract, Bluegate will become the sole third-party IT outsourcing and data telecom provider for Renaissance Healthcare Systems.

Renaissance will realize a substantial cost savings over its existing Wide Area Network solution that utilizes frame relay technology. This privatized, low latency VPN network also will streamline secure communications to Renaissance Healthcare's other technology vendors and partners, allowing Renaissance to further leverage its technical resources to deliver quality patient care.

Bluegate currently delivers secure managed Internet connectivity to Renaissance Healthcare's hospital facilities in Houston, Dallas, and Groves, Texas, in addition to its corporate offices in Houston. Since 2003, Bluegate has assisted the Renaissance technical staff with IT outsourcing for circuit and equipment deployment, as well as network infrastructure design and consultation.

"When it came time to select a vendor to deploy a managed VPN to securely interconnect all existing Renaissance facilities and future acquisitions, we wanted to go with a winner, so our choice was easy -- Bluegate," said Jonathan Pham, Renaissance Healthcare Systems Chief Technology Officer (CTO). "The IT outsourcing and Internet connectivity provided by Bluegate over the past few years has been nothing short of stellar. We've had un-interrupted, full access to our systems at all times from all locations and have realized substantial cost savings in several areas. We're looking forward to more of the same as we continue our relationship."

"Bluegate's core focus is providing managed security solutions and IT outsourcing to the healthcare industry, so Renaissance Healthcare's initial challenge of building a secure, scalable, and cost-effective data network for them was right in our sweet spot," said Peter Kust, Bluegate CTO. "We're pleased that Renaissance is entrusting us to expand their existing Internet connections to achieve their new objectives and we're looking forward to demonstrating some of our additional capabilities on more complex projects with them."
