SYS Technologies Announces Further Network Management Solutions Deployments

  
    
  
  
    
      SYS Technologies, Inc. (“SYS”) 
      (AMEX: SYS), a leading provider of information connectivity solutions 
      that enable situational awareness and real-time collaboration, announced 
      today that its new network management software product, dopplerVUE, 
      continues to show strong initial adoption by a broad range of customers, 
      including a state Army National Guard unit, the U.S. State Department 
      and a commercial managed services provider.
    
    
      SYS, which recently signed an agreement to be acquired by Kratos Defense 
      & Security Solutions (Nasdaq: KTOS), recently launched dopplerVUE which 
      is SYS’ next-generation network management 
      tool that integrates fault and performance monitoring with discovery and 
      automated mapping into a single unified dashboard across networked 
      devices, applications and services.
    
    
      “We have been very pleased with the interest 
      demonstrated by some of these early adopters of dopplerVUE. These 
      deployments support our strategy of developing cutting edge network 
      management software that can address all kinds and sizes of networks,” 
      said Cliff Cooke, CEO of SYS Technologies. “As 
      reliance upon net-centered applications and communications grows, the 
      need to assure the reliability of the underlying infrastructure is 
      mission-critical, whether the mission is defense, disaster relief, 
      education or commerce. We are especially gratified to see that such a 
      wide variety of organizations have recognized the value of dopplerVUE, 
      especially during this initial launch phase. We are now well positioned 
      to pursue a much broader set of customers with a more diversified 
      network management software portfolio through the combination of 
      dopplerVUE targeting smaller network footprints and NeuralStar 
      continuing to target larger enterprise networks.”
    
    
      With superior visibility and advanced monitoring features, dopplerVUE 
      brings the power of advanced management to smaller and mid-sized 
      organizations. The Army National Guard unit, for example, will implement 
      dopplerVUE to manage 115 armories, providing them with a comprehensive 
      view of their statewide network in one interface, a factor critical for 
      tactical and mobility purposes. Also important for the National Guard is 
      dopplerVUE’s ease of use, which allows for 
      efficient adoption by rotating personnel to keep critical applications 
      running at all times as well as dopplerVUE’s 
      advanced support for new IPv6 elements.
