Data Guard Systems Recognized As Laureate By The Computerworld Honors Program

Global Technology Awards Foundation Pays Tribute to Organizations that Use Information Technology to Benefit Society

CAMBRIDGE, MA, MAY 30, 2007 — Data Guard Systems has been recognized as a Laureate by IDG's Computerworld Honors Program. This year's Honorees will be commemorated during the Annual Laureates Medal Ceremony & Gala on June 4, 2007, in Washington, D.C. In its 19th year, Computerworld Honors is the longest running global program to honor individuals and organizations that use information technology to benefit society.

This year, Dell, Inc., nominated Data Guard in recognition of its positive work in reducing datacenter energy consumption. Data Guard's consolidation efforts reduced their datacenter power consumption by 80%, allowing the cost savings to be passed on to countless small businesses that depend on the company for services while simultaneously minimizing the impact on the environment.

"Each year, the Computerworld Honors Program seeks to recognize organizations, from a variety of sectors, for their ongoing efforts to utilize technology in order to benefit society," said Ron Milton, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Computerworld Information Technology Awards Foundation and Executive Vice President of Computerworld. "We are proud to provide a platform to publicly acknowledge these contributions."

The technology achievements honored by this program are preserved in over 350 universities, museums and institutions worldwide as well as online at the Computerworld Honors website: www.cwhonors.org.

"We are truly honored to be recognized as a Computerworld Honors Laureate," said Timothy Maliyil, President of Data Guard Systems. "The acknowledgement by our peers and colleagues for our work to help conserve energy and the continuing positive impact for our clientele are truly gratifying."
