BELLEVUE, Washington, December 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- New Release Supports More Architectures; Increases Manageability to
Further Improve Total Cost of Ownership

Xeround, Inc., a provider of real-time database virtualization
software, today announced the launch of the Xeround Intelligent Data Grid(TM)
version 2.8. Xeround's vision is to enable cloud computing infrastructures
for its customers by delivering data management within a cloud and data
federation between clouds. This release improves upon Xeround IDG's
capabilities for real time, scalable database virtualization that unifies
data across multiple networks and businesses while still improving total
cost-of-ownership. Customers implementing Xeround IDG version 2.8 can now
extend the life and usage of existing data assets to accelerate the time to
market of new products and services while dramatically reducing costs.

Multiple market factors like the increased number of new service
offerings and ongoing industry consolidation have left many companies,
particularly communications service providers, struggling with massive
increases in data -- much of it housed in disparate, legacy silos spread 
throughout their computing infrastructure. Because the ability to quickly 
create new, differentiated services is dependent on fast, reliable access to 
data stores, these companies risk losing out on new market opportunities. 
Enter the Xeround IDG Suite -- the only database virtualization software 
capable of breaking the "silo barrier" to reach disparate data sources and 
reliably deliver data in real-time anywhere and anytime across multiple 
applications and networks.

"Xeround IDG was designed to address the need for highly scalable
'in-the-network' data management," said Charlotte Yarkoni, CEO, Xeround.
"With Version 2.8, we've enhanced our product to support a greater number of
architectures and added more flexibility for managing the system. With this
release, we continue to lead the market with an unparalleled commitment to
reducing infrastructure costs and deliver superior performance."

Xeround IDG is built on a patented technology that can unify data across
multiple networks and businesses in real-time and make that information
available across a company's entire ecosystem of network elements and
applications. Unlike point products or custom solutions, Xeround IDG is a
scalable, reusable, easy-to-implement distributed architecture that increases
the efficiency of existing infrastructures.

"Xeround IDG provides us the ability to support multiple data types in
one solution, accelerating our ability to launch new services for our
customers and reducing infrastructure costs," said Ilan Alter, director,
Cellular Applications at Pelephone. "Xeround has become a trusted partner,
consistently delivering innovative technology along with superior customer
support."

The Next Evolution -- Xeround IDG Version 2.8

Xeround IDG version 2.8 allows for real-time access to data regardless of
where it physically exists, provides support for multiple data access
protocols and also has a flexible self-healing architecture that allows for
continuity of service even in the event of a failure. Other enhancements
found in version 2.8 include:

-- Flexible Data Distribution and Replication Modeling
       - Increased the types of architectures supported to ensure the right
         tradeoffs between performance and reliability
       - Customers can choose the optimal architecture for their application
         requirements and can change it with a simple configuration update

    -- Persistent Storage Enhancements
       - Includes high-performance writes of data to disks for persistency
       - Transaction processing continues uninterrupted even if part of the
         system is down or in recovery mode

    -- Expanded SQL and Transaction Support
       - Allows processing of diverse data access sets and usage patterns
         including real-time, near real-time and full table-scan querying
         patterns
       - Includes support for multiple applications updating the same data
         record without sacrificing data integrity or high-performance

    -- Improved Manageability
       - Offers a GUI-based System Health Monitor module with expanded
         capabilities for reporting point failures and understanding overall
         system health across a distributed environment



Availability and Pricing

Xeround IDG version 2.8 is currently in beta and will be made generally
available to the public in late January 2009. Xeround's pricing options are
tailored to meet customer business models and include project-based
professional services for faster integration into existing environments.
