With 2009 in full-swing, I wanted to take a moment to share with you some exciting developments that have taken place at Aternity over the last few months.

Third Funding Round We closed our third round of funding in January of this year, and all of our existing investors participated. The round was led by Clal Industries and Investments LTD, and was supported by Intel Capital, Genesis Partners, and Vertex Venture Capital. The funding is being used to further accelerate the development and delivery of new innovations for our Frontline Performance Intelligence Platform, and fund the expansion of our sales and marketing organizations.

Increased Customer Demand: SAP, Siebel, Oracle Solution Packs Available Our customers and partners regularly provide positive feedback regarding Aternity's unique ability to comprehensively instrument any application within days. We've also seen increasing interest to provide new, packaged support for popular applications out-of-the-box. As a result, we continue to expand our FPI Solution Packs on a quarterly basis by including support for a wide variety of applications including leading CRM and ERP applications such as SAP, Siebel and Oracle E-Business Suite, and the most popular Productivity Applications such as Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In addition, we will be releasing Solution Packs for leading EMR systems such as Epic, Eclipsys and Cerner over the next quarter.

International Partner Footprint You may recall the formalization and announcement of Aternity's Partner Program in the Summer of 2008. Since then, our Partner ecosystem continues to grow rapidly. Today we have certified Partners in Australia, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, the US and UK. In addition, we have signed partnerships with leading ISVs in the Telco space and have started working closely with a number of leading System Integrators in the Healthcare arena and Solution Specialists in the CRM and ERP space.

Aternity, Dell, and IBM Some of these most recent and newly announced partnerships include Dell and IBM. In March of '09, Dell officially certified the seamless integration of Aternity' Frontline Performance Intelligence Platform with Dell's OpenManage systems management. As such, Aternity's FPI Platform enhances the manageability of Dell platforms and helps optimize Dell Services. Weeks after the Dell announcement, news broke that Aternity had also achieved Advanced IBM Partner Status. The membership advancement reflects Aternity's continued sales, marketing, and product development contributions to IBM and the optimization and integration of the Aternity Frontline Performance Intelligence (FPI) Platform with key IBM technologies, applications and platforms.

The webinar, "Got Business Disruptions?" focused on how a user-centric approach to proactive Application Performance Management will optimize your business, improve IT processes, and increase user productivity.
