Limited Time Offer Extended Based on Rapid Customer Adoption of Industry's First Next Generation Database Platform

NEW YORK – October 11, 2006 - GridApp Systems, Inc. (www.gridapp.com), the leading provider of database automation solutions, today announced the continuation of its successful "Ready. Set. RAC!" promotion in response to growing customer demand for the industry's first turnkey database automation platform.  The special offer bundles GridApp’s D2500 database appliance – powered by GridApp Clarity™ – with free Oracle RAC licenses and is extended through October 31, 2006.

"Organizations continually seek a quick and easy solution to minimize complexities in their Oracle RAC deployments," said Rob Gardos, president and CEO of GridApp Systems. "Our D2500 database appliance has proven to be the critical foundation for any organization scaling out their database infrastructure to address their escalating business challenges."

GridApp Systems' proven reference architecture for Oracle RAC allows companies to avoid the pitfalls and additional costs of installing and managing complex RAC technology.  GridApp's D2500 appliance combines the market leading IBM BladeCenter and GridApp database automation software, Clarity, to simplify, automate and virtualize the database environment. Instead of wrestling with the complexities of Oracle RAC deployment and administration, the D2500 serves as a drop-in alternative that can be put into production within a day and can scale databases in minutes.  Organizations selecting "Ready. Set. RAC!" have saved up to $100,000 in free Oracle RAC licenses, making this offer a highly value-driven alternative.

"Our customers such as TheStreet.com, GotVMail Communications and Reserve America represent just a few of the organizations we've helped to maximize their business value," said Pia Chon, vice president of marketing of GridApp Systems. "We are extending this limited-time offer through the end of October so that other companies can achieve no-pain scaling and realize the power of database automation."
