Uplogix Lands $7 Million in Series B Venture Funding; Adams Capital Management General Partner Martin Neath to Join the Company's Board of Directors.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Uplogix(TM), the leading provider of automated network support solutions, today announced the completion of a $7.0 million round of Series B financing. Adams Capital Management led the round with returning support from Series A investors including investment firm Fayez Sarofim & Co. Martin Neath, a general partner at Adams Capital Management and former Tivoli executive, will join the Uplogix board of directors. This latest round of investment brings the company's total capital raised to $10.6 million. Uplogix will use the financing to build operational capacity to support its growing base of global customers and to expand investment in the company's product development initiatives.

"We look at a lot of companies, and in the area of systems and network management this is the most exciting development I've seen since leaving Tivoli," said Martin Neath, General Partner at Adams Capital Management. "With more and more mission-critical network devices distributed at remote offices and branches, the intelligent out-of-band appliance from Uplogix is unique in improving network availability and reducing labor costs."

Uplogix provides innovative solutions for automating the support of distributed networks. They have developed a set of management appliances that can be installed throughout the network to deliver unprecedented command and control capabilities via their next-generation out-of-band architecture. Unlike traditional network management tools, this unique approach allows Uplogix to deliver automated support functionality regardless of the state of the network. These "virtual network assistants" automate a broad range of support operations from remote access and data collection to fault diagnosis and recovery. Uplogix customers have been able to dramatically reduce their overall network support costs, some by more than 50 percent, by leveraging this technology.

"Martin's success in helping build Tivoli into a multi-billion dollar enterprise management company is exactly the type of experience and guidance we need as Uplogix moves forward," said Barry Cox, chief executive officer, Uplogix. "Adams Capital Management has an extraordinary track record of guiding young companies to becoming dominant players. We believe they are the ideal partner to help us to solidify our position of leadership in providing the automated IT management solutions that customers are demanding."
