    March Networks and Sun Microsystems Deliver Integrated IP Video Surveillance
Solutions to Enterprise Organizations

    OTTAWA, April 28 /CNW Telbec/ - March Networks(TM) (TSX:MN; AIM:MNW), a
leading provider of intelligent IP video and business analysis applications,
announced today that it will collaborate with Sun Microsystems, Inc. to
jointly market scalable, end-to-end IP video surveillance solutions to
enterprise organizations across North America.
    The solutions combine intelligent video management software and systems
from the March Networks VideoSphere(TM) portfolio with purpose-built
 Sun Fire(TM) x64 servers. They enable organizations to deploy advanced
surveillance applications, such as video analytics, and intelligently manage
the convergence of IP video technologies with high performance IT
infrastructure.
    Organizations in a wide range of markets are seeking to take advantage of
next-generation surveillance technologies optimized to run over IP networks.
They are looking for integrated solutions that combine best-in-class software
and hardware products with common management software and a flexible
architecture that can scale to support the most demanding requirements.
    March Networks' VideoSphere Intelligent Video Management portfolio
enables customers to deploy all-IP video solutions or hybrid video networks
that include both analog and IP cameras and leverage existing cabling
infrastructure. In either environment, organizations can install Sun Fire(TM)
X4500 and X4150 servers for high density video recording and storage.
    The Sun Fire X4500 and X4150 servers are among the fastest and most
reliable servers available, and their energy-efficient designs save on power
and cooling. Both run on nearly any operating system, including Solaris 10(TM)
Operating System, Linux, and Windows. The Sun Fire x64 servers, which work
with Sun StorageTek(TM) solutions to deliver up to 48 Terabytes of storage
capacity, interoperate with VideoSphere Video Management System software to
ensure the cost-effective retention of high resolution video from any number
of cameras for extended periods of time.
    March Networks and Sun Microsystems will demonstrate the VideoSphere
Intelligent Video Management solution in Booth 2301 at Interop Las Vegas,
April 27 - May 2, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
    "March Networks' video management expertise is well recognized in the
surveillance industry," said Joe Heel, Senior Vice President, Global Storage
Practice, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "By combining these capabilities with storage
systems that deliver the highest storage density available, Sun is leading the
industry in enabling customers to easily manage demanding, high-bandwidth
applications, reduce system complexity and optimize data storage."
    "March Networks is focused on providing organizations with premium
solutions that drive efficiency and return on investments regardless of their
position on the IP adoption curve," said Peter Strom, President and CEO, March
Networks. "Partnering with Sun - one of the IT industry's leading server
storage providers - creates an excellent offering for organizations that
require comprehensive and intelligent video management."
