00:00:00 - 24 August 2004

August 24, 2004  - (HostReview.com) - Opsware Inc. (www.opsware.com), the leading provider of IT automation and utility computing software, today announced that EDS signed an additional $50 million agreement with Opsware, with an incremental $95 million of renewable options over five years, for a potential total of $145 million.

"Opsware software has proven to be a best-in-class solution, helping EDS deliver on the promise of automation and the requirement for a flexible, scalable, agile, cost-efficient infrastructure... all of which are key ingredients in a global utility computing service," said Larry Lozon, vice president, EDS Hosting Services.

EDS has already deployed the Opsware System in data centers across North America and Europe. Data center automation is a key component to EDS' Agile Enterprise platform -- a network-based utility architecture built in collaboration with its partners.

"The fact that EDS has renewed its commitment to Opsware demonstrates the importance of IT automation and the value they've already realized with the Opsware software," said Ben Horowitz, president and CEO of Opsware Inc. "Opsware is enabling EDS to provide superior service and respond more rapidly to their customers needs. With this agreement, EDS' deployment of Opsware continues to be the largest commercial deployment of IT automation software."

Opsware Inc. is the world's leading IT automation and utility computing software company. The growth of the Internet is driving a shift from client/server computing to Web architecture. With this shift comes an overwhelming proliferation of servers and applications, creating massive complexity that makes an automated IT model a necessity.
