Coastline Micro, Inc. of Irvine California and Alvaka Networks of Huntington Beach today announced the November 20th, 2003 release of Coastline Micro’s Advanced Network Management Service that will be offered by Coastline Micro and powered by Alvaka Network’s award winning service - “AlvakaNet” sm.

Huntington Beach, CA November 10, 2003 –- Two Southern California Companies combine forces to take on the competition. In one of the boldest moves seen by the Orange County Tech Sector in many months, Coastline Micro, Inc. of Irvine California and Alvaka Networks of Huntington Beach today announced the November 20th, 2003 release of Coastline Micro’s Advanced Network Management Service that will be offered by Coastline Micro and powered by Alvaka Network’s award winning service - “AlvakaNet” sm.

Founded in 1989, Coastline Micro is a leading provider of end-to-end, high-quality, cost-effective computing and networking solutions. Coastline selected Alvaka Networks to be the backbone of Coastline’s New Advanced Network Management Services. The new partnership will bring patch management, 24 x 7 monitoring and support, IT help desk, VPN and Internet connectivity support and a variety of security services to Coastline Micro’s customers. “Our customers have always been able to count on us for great products and excellent support. Now, this new service gives our customers the option to choose an extension and enhancement to full ongoing managed service of the high-quality products we are already delivering. The service will also create an additional recurring revenue stream for Coastline Micro’s future investment so we can continue to better serve our valued clients” said, Nick Vertucci, founder and CEO of Coastline Micro.

The partnership is a powerful addition to Coastline’s arsenal and will be a significant differentiator in the market and will allow both companies to focus on what they do best, increase their market leverage, and at the same time expand the completeness of their respective product offerings. “Coastline is an influential and well respected player in their category, and the only thing missing from their business plan was the Network Eyes In The Sky (sm) that we have perfected,” said Kevin McDonald, Alvaka Network’s V.P. Business Development and chief architect of the plan. “This deal will greatly increase our market exposure and push our growth to new levels.” Mr. McDonald continued.

Success has come to Alvaka Networks under the leadership of its Founder and CEO, Oli Thordarson. They have continued to grow by using a combined set of tools and procedures that Alvaka has refined through twenty-one years of experience in providing high quality IT services to its clients. The new channel strategy also includes a growing relationship with BMC Software, a leading provider of enterprise management solutions that span enterprise systems, applications, databases and service management. Alvaka Networks has become a recognized leader in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) space. In 21 years of business, Alvaka Networks has optimized and subsequently managed hundreds of networked computing systems. Their managed services offerings insure that clients systems are properly secured, correctly resourced and maintained, perform optimally and are managed under consistent IT governance policies.

When asked about the announced plan, Mark Binford, regional account manager-xSP Partner Sales for BMC Software said, “We believe this is a very good way for us to satisfy customers’ needs for management solutions in the SMB market. We are pleased that the two companies have chosen BMCs’ technology as one of the key components for delivering these services. BMC is a strong player in both the SMB market as well as in larger enterprises and we look forward to the growth prospects for Coastline’s Advanced Network Management Service and the capabilities Alvaka and Coastline will deliver together.”
