EXPAND NETWORKS INCREASES INVESTMENT IN GERMANY WITH IN-COUNTRY OPERATIONS

Expand Germany In-line with Company’s Aggressive Global Expansion And Accelerated Growth

Roseland, NJ and Munich, Germany— July 19, 2004 — Expand Networks, a leading provider of Application Traffic Management systems, announced today that it has launched its Munich-based sales and technical operations, to service businesses in the German, Austrian Swiss and Polish markets. Expand’s core value proposition in these markers will be to provide a complete framework for delivering applications across the wide area network (WAN) to the branch office while significantly reducing recurring bandwidth costs. According to recent market research, the WAN represents the largest recurring costs apart from people in IT organizations. Expand’s Accelerators present a sound economic justification for the German market - typically a hub for multinational and regional corporations with dispersed branch offices connected by an expensive WAN. The Accelerators, which provide a 3-9 month ROI, offer businesses cost-efficient remote access while decreasing capital expenditure on bandwidth upgrades. Additionally Expand’s products improve application response times and enhance user productivity while also giving IT managers robust monitoring and QoS tools for maximum network visibility and control. “By 2008, investing in WAN optimization solutions will be the primary WAN upgrade strategy for 75 percent of enterprises (0.8 probability),” noted Lawrence Orans, Principal Analyst at Gartner. “The market in Germany is ripe for Expand’s solutions and therefore we are increasing our investments to build a sustainable in-country operation that will be augmented by existing distribution partners and valued added resellers that have been servicing this market for the past two years,” commented Zohar Pearl, Expand Networks’ CEO. “Expand Networks Germany is the third country operation we have launched in a brief nine-month period – this speaks to our aggressive on-going global expansion. Expand is also announcing the appointment of Marius Bodor as the regional manager for Expand’s operations in Germany, Austria Switzerland and Poland.
