AUSTIN, Texas, September 21 /PRNewswire/ --

- Secure, Energy Efficient and High Performance ClearCube PCoIP
Workstations Drive New Trading Floor

ClearCube Technology, the leader in centralized and virtual computing,
announced today that Carnegie Bank in Sweden selected ITF to equip its
traders with high performance, blade workstations from ClearCube.

"ClearCube's centralized workstations with PCoIP are very energy
efficient, secure and deliver the computing power that our traders need to
perform at a high level," said Goran Andersson, CIO of Carnegie. "We also
plan to extend the trading-floor service to our regional offices in Sweden
and other countries as these users will get the same excellent performance
and availability as the local traders. We foresee these great benefits based
on the ClearCube-implementation of PCoIP-technology."

"Our partnership with ClearCube give us a very compelling offering for
financial services companies like Carnegie Investment Bank, as well as other
enterprises, that are looking to reduce energy costs, create a more ergonomic
work environment while maximizing computer security," said Nicklas
Henriksson, CEO ITF.

ClearCube's centralized computing solution replaces the box PCs at the
desk with high performance, energy efficient and secure workstations located
in the data center. Utilizing PCoIP remote desktop connection protocol, the
ClearCube workstation is connected to a very small ClearCube user port at the
trader's desk which connects to the four monitors, keyboard and mouse.
ClearCube blade workstations are 38% more energy efficient than competitive
solutions and they eliminate 94% of the heat that is generated in the work
environment by box PCs.

"We're pleased to be working with ITF on delivering this industry leading
solution to Carnegie," said Randy Printz, CEO of ClearCube. "We were first to
market with an industry leading innovative PCoIP quad-monitor solution for
trading floors and command and control centers; which has been very well
received. Enterprises like Carnegie benefit from a low total cost of
ownership in comparison to other workstations due to our efforts to engineer
a very energy efficient, high performance workstation with the inherent
security and cost benefits of centralized management."

"ClearCube has always been a leader in innovative, high security PCoIP
solutions and they've demonstrated that at Carnegie with their highly
effective quad-monitor PCoIP trading floor workstations," said Dan
Cordingley, CEO of Teradici.

ClearCube was the first company to incorporate the Teradici ASIC chip
into their quad-monitor blade workstations in order to deliver the quality
end-user experience that PCoIP delivers.
