Kabira Hitting Milestones of New Corporate Strategy, Appoints VP of Global Sales; Addition of Proven Sales Leader Builds on Momentum From Recent Financing Round and Appointment of Tibco Pioneer as COO.

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- Kabira Technologies Inc., a leader in high performance transaction processing software for global enterprises, announced today the appointment of Eric Graber as Vice President of Global Sales. Graber brings over 20 years of experience as an enterprise software sales executive with a winning track record of revenue growth for emerging companies.

The hiring of Graber follows other significant corporate achievements in securing strategic financing and expanding the management team. Mr. Graber's appointment is a critical part of Kabira's new go-to-market strategy to deliver industry-specific transaction processing solutions across a variety of business sectors. With the company's unique solution for high volume transaction processing, Kabira has aligned its strategy with the rapidly accelerating needs of real-time, always-on business models -- such as telecom, financial services, and on-line exchanges -- that demand the highest performance, the lowest cost per transaction and unlimited scalability.

"Building on 10 years of customer success, we're equipped and focused to help more enterprises capitalize on the emerging, dynamic market opportunities of always-on business models," said Bradley Rode, Chief Operating Officer of Kabira. "More and more, market demands are turning the tables on traditional transaction processing needs. Our target customers are faced with rapidly rising transaction volumes that need to be processed at faster speeds and at lower cost than ever. With our new strategy, we believe we have the right team with the right solution at the right time to address the needs of our market."

Prior to joining Kabira, Graber was Vice President, Global Sales for Traiana, Inc., an enterprise application provider to the global capital markets sector. Prior to that he was Vice President of North American sales at Serena Software, and also held sales leadership positions at Sybase and Legent Corporation. Graber has a degree in computer mathematics from San Jose State University.

"We are very pleased to add Eric to our remarkable management team," added Rode. "He is a seasoned sales executive with deep experience and passion for working with some of the largest companies in the world. His success in building and leading sales teams is pivotal for Kabira."

Scaling the Company to Address New Corporate Objectives

Last September, Kabira announced that it had successfully secured strategic financing from a group of new and existing blue-chip investors led by 3i, Sevin Rosen Funds, SVM STAR Ventures Management, and Crosspoint Venture Partners. The strategic financing is being used to help accelerate development of a new set of software products designed for telecommunications and financial services companies that Kabira will introduce later this year.

Building on that momentum, Kabira hired industry veteran Bradley Rode as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the company in September. Rode joined Kabira from Tibco Software where he drove the strategy, development, and support of the company's product lines as EVP of Products and Technologies, and provided executive sponsorship of Tibco's largest accounts. Prior to Tibco, Rode was CEO of iPin and CEO of Internet Profiles (I/PRO). Previously, he was a member of the founding team of Tibco, where he developed the TIB technology and had responsibility for the Financial Services division.

As COO of Kabira, Rode is overseeing company sales, marketing, and services. He has aligned Kabira's strategy and resources to better execute on the market opportunity around real-time, always-on business models that demand the highest performance, the lowest cost per transaction and unlimited scalability.

Kabira's Transaction Platform(TM) and Accelerator(TM) products provide highly effective solutions for organizations confronting today's market demand for real-time transaction processing. Its unique Transaction Optimized Services (TM) technology is the "secret sauce" that enables Kabira to do so much more for less. A 64-bit memory-resident platform, Kabira can execute more than 50,000 transactions per second running on standard commodity hardware. Since Kabira supports real-time data, transactions, applications, and connectivity in high-speed memory, transactions execute up to 100 times faster than with systems relying on disks. This inherent service-oriented approach to transaction processing is ideal for today's SOA-based business applications and services that require flexibility, scalability, reliability and maximum performance.
