Press Release Body: NEW ROCHELLE, NY--Symbio Technologies--whose innovative approach
to server-centric, stateless computing using stateless thin clients and a unique
boot appliance has won certifications, awards, and contracts in the private and
public sectors--has introduced an upgrade to its popular Symbiont Boot Appliance.

Pioneered and developed by Symbio Technologies (www.symbio-technologies.com), The
Symbiont Boot Appliance (SBA) is a rack-mount appliance that boots stateless devices
with no internal operating system, embedded software, file systems, or network
addresses. The new SBAv5 also allows creation of multiple virtual subnets, improving
the network architect\'s ability to separate the activities of up to 250 individual
users from one another.

The Symbiont Boot Appliance boots and directs stateless thin clients to multiple
application servers that run a wide variety of terminal services protocols. The new
SBAv5 now supports LDM (X over SSH) and VNC, and adds a Java-enabled web browser to
its capabilities, which already supports Windows Terminal Services (RDP), Citrix
(ICA), Linux/Unix (X), VMware VDI, IBM 5250 and 3270, NoMachine, and virtually any
midrange, mainframe and other legacy systems.

Other new features available for the first time on the SBAv5 include:

--improved auto-detection of drivers
--PTP camera support
--support for unpartitioned removable media, including the ability to disable
removable media devices or USB-only devices, and the ability to adjust mounts
--support for widescreen monitors on many thin clients
--local printer queues
--encrypted thin client OS
--additional firewall control
--ability to perform firmware upgrades from a local file

\'Tailored to Meet the Needs of Users\'

Gideon Romm, co-founder and CTO of Symbio Technologies, said his company worked in
conjunction with customers, including the U.S. Department of Energy and other
government agencies, \"to tailor our enterprise stateless solution to the particular
needs of the federal government while keeping in mind the needs of businesses and
other organizations as well.

\"We asked dozens of senior IT staff what features would make their lives easier
while maintaining the highest levels of security,\" he said, \"so that we could
build-in those features in version 5.
\"The federal government has a strict focus on security,\" said Romm. \"Symbio met the
most stringent security requirements, earned certification and accreditation, won
awards, and gained business by meeting our customers\' needs. Our desktop solution
eliminates the most troublesome part of the network--the PC: eliminate the PC and
you eliminate the weakest link in the security chain. Our stateless thin clients
coupled with the improved features of The Symbiont Boot Appliance do that very
effectively and efficiently without over-complicating the deployment. When an IT
administrator can set up and configure 250 ultra-secure stateless desktops in five
minutes, that\'s something special!\"
