Burlington, MA, November 2, 2004 — XOsoft, a leading provider of continuous application availability software solutions, today announced that WANSyncHA, the company's suite of leading application availability solutions, has been selected as a finalist in two different categories — "Information Storage" and "Product of the Year" — in the IM2004 Information Management Awards program.

A showcase for information management success stories, the awards program publicly acknowledges organizations that have demonstrated the vision and business skills to implement leading-edge technology projects, and to develop ground-breaking, innovative products.

XOsoft's WANSyncHA was chosen as a finalist in the Information Storage and Product of the Year categories following fierce competition with other leading players in its field. The finalist status is in recognition of the innovation XOsoft has demonstrated in developing sophisticated software that keeps hundreds of large organizations working in the event of a system failure. With XOsoft's recent growth, there are now thousands of licenses deployed worldwide.

According to Roger Gibbons, Managing Director of Elan Conferences Ltd, "The IM Awards are a showcase for new innovative leading-edge IT products and projects. They provide visibility for organizations that have demonstrated the vision and the business acumen to develop products that enable users to reap real business benefits. Reaching the final stage is a commendable achievement as the entries have been subjected to a rigorous examination by a panel of expert judges."

The award-winning WANSyncHA provides enterprises with high application availability and application-aware automatic failover over LAN or WAN. WANSyncHA maintains identical replicas of complete database and industry standard application servers such as Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL and Oracle Database, through continuous real-time replication. In case of failure, a synchronized replica, whether in the same office or halfway around the globe, can instantaneously and automatically be brought on-line to maintain high application availability. WANSyncHA Exchange, a version of WANSyncHA tailored specifically for Microsoft Exchange, has withstood rigorous testing and has achieved a Clear Choice rating by Network World in a comparative review of disaster recovery products for Microsoft Exchange servers.

"The Information Management 2004 Awards are the premier recognition of excellence and innovation in the management of business information," says Leonid Shtilman, XOsoft Founder and CEO. "We are delighted to have made it into the list of finalists in both categories, and believe this is yet more proof of growing industry recognition of the power and value offered by XOsoft's entire product and solution range."

Winners will be announced at an awards dinner on Thursday, December 2, 2004.
