INNOVATIVE IES® CERTIFIED FOR IBM i™ 6.1

Brentwood, Tennessee — November 12, 2008

Innovative Computing Corporation is pleased to announce that Innovative IES® R8V02M03 is certified for IBM's i 6.1 Operating System. Through this certification, customers can take full advantage of IBM's significant upgrades to the processor and Operating System functionality.

The Operating System, renamed simply i, is the latest in IBM's System i™ evolution and is backed by significant updates to IBM's Power™ Systems hardware. This combined upgrade is considered by many to be as significant as IBM's 48-Bit CISC to 64-Bit RISC change. The result of over a billion dollars of IBM investment, this offering signifies IBM's continued commitment to progression of the Power Systems Family (formerly known as the AS/400).

As a result of the upgrades to IBM's Operating System and hardware, Innovative customers can enjoy a wide variety of system efficiencies and improvements including:

• Re-engineered Processor (POWER6™)
• Operating System Enhancements Utilizing the POWER6 Processor Technology
• Optimized Storage and Memory Management
• Enhanced SAN (Storage Area Network) Storage
• Enhanced Internal Integration
• Lower Total Cost of Operation

In addition, i is a fully object-based Operating System, so that while the Power System family is widely accepted as the most secure and reliable available, IBM has further increased system integrity, security, encryption and reliability through i.

IBM's Power running i also allows for greater consolidation of hardware, which works to lessen related IT support, maintenance, environmental factors and overall costs. These changes result in a system that is very manageable, responsive and fast to deploy.

In order to take full advantage of the many features of IBM i 6.1, Innovative Computing Corporation has also upgraded IES® via release R8V02M03. Because of this upgrade, Innovative host customers interested in migrating to IBM i 6.1 or Power will need to contact Innovative to request the latest IES PTF prior to the Operating System upgrade.
