president of strategic alliances, joins from a private consultancy firm that
provided executive-level business consulting to companies such as Compellent and
InMage Systems, and is responsible for establishing strategic relationships with
technology partners such as NetApp and IBM, as well as building Solix's indirect
sales channels. Prasada Pyala, vice president of engineering, SAP Solutions joins
from SAP's Governance, Risk and Compliance business unit and is responsible for

\"We are extremely pleased to have Craig, Greg and Prasada on board with their vast
experience in the data management space," said Shekhar Dasgupta, president and chief
operating officer, Solix Technologies. "Solix is entering into a growth phase and
Craig and Greg will be instrumental in driving strategic relationships to increase
our sales while Prasada's extensive knowledge of SAP solutions will allow us to
deliver a highly competitive data management offering to SAP customers.

Craig Bradley has devoted the majority of his career to building emerging technology
markets that help customers protect and manage their corporate data. Craig has
extensive leadership and management experience working at startups like WordPerfect,
Crossroads and CommVault to industry moguls like Lotus and EMC. A team player,
Craig will utilize all his experience to work with System Integrators, VARs and
Industry market makers to help enterprise, government and mid-small business
customers to understand and implement these emerging market products. Together with
channel and industry partners Craig will manage the Solix sales team to bring real
information lifecycle management to Solix customers thru Solix enterprise data
management products. Craig is based out of Austin, Texas.

"It's all about the data," said Bradley. "It's not a cliché, it's true. My customers
have burned this into my brain. They tell me they have to understand, utilize,
protect and preserve their data to stay in business. They also tell me the solutions
that they adopt that meet those needs must help them control operational costs,
improve efficiency for end users, and simple to implement and manage. These customer
requirements are not easily met. At Solix Technologies, I found a team as passionate
and dedicated to customers as I am, with a set of enterprise data management
products that surpass our customer's most demanding needs. We are a great team, and
I'm thrilled to be a part of it."

Greg Duplessie has held Business Development positions for leading technology
companies including Neartek, sold to EMC in 2006, and Permabit where he ran business
development and established strategic partnerships with StorageTek and Hitachi Data
Systems. Greg has served as a key member of several high technology consultancies,
including Ridge Partners I, New England West, Enterprise Strategy Group, and
Invincible Technologies. Greg is based out of Portland, Oregon.

"The merger of Solix's database tools with storage technologies, such as replication
and secondary storage, greatly improves our end-user's ability to quickly implement
compliance and ILM strategies," said Duplessie. "This is an emerging market that
will only continue to gain momentum and I am excited to join Solix whose strong
vision and execution will quickly make them leaders in this space."

Prasada Pyala was Vice President of Engineering for Virsa systems and was
instrumental in growing Virsa's business from only a few employees to over 300
employees globally which was later acquired by SAP. Following Virsa's acquisition by
SAP, Prasada became Vice President of Product Development at SAP. Prasada is a
working board member of the Indian American council - Confederation of Indian
Industry and holds a Bachelor\'s degree in Electronics and communication Engineering
from Nagarjuna University in India. Prasada is based out of Sunnyvale, California,

"Solix has solid technology that can really add value to the SAP community," said
Pyala. "What impressed me most about Solix was the fact that their solutions have
been architected to leverage a single architecture to deliver multiple data
management functions that can be implemented as needed. From an engineering and
technology perspective, they are one of a select few that realized this is best way
to deliver solutions that truly streamline data management, especially in today's
complex IT environments."
