ViaLogy PLC30 April 2007 Date: 30 April 2007On behalf of: ViaLogy plc ("ViaLogy" or "the Company") For immediate release Cisco Purchases ViaLogy's SPMTM Product for Its Safety and Security Operations London, April 30, 2007 - ViaLogy PLC (LSE: VIY), the AIM-listed high technologycompany, announces that Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) has purchased its SPMTM (Sensor Policy Manager) to support safety and security operations at its SanJose Campus in California. SPMTM will be deployed within Cisco's converged(voice, video and data) products and IP-network solutions framework called CiscoConnected Real Estate (CCRE). ViaLogy SPMTM provides a standards-based, sensor-policy engine forinterconnecting enterprise-wide distributed subsystems including buildingmanagement systems, energy planning, seismic monitoring for business continuity,physical and workplace resources management. Based on sensor triggers andalarms, SPMTM architecture applies user specified policies to enable automatedanalysis, alerting of appropriate personnel and rapid response. CCRE aims to deliver significant capital and operational cost savings andimproved efficiency by automating complex facilities operations. Cisco'sIP-networks combine IT and building management systems on a converged platformcarrying voice, video and data alongside heating, ventilation, lighting, energy,video surveillance and access authorization. According to ViaLogy Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Sandeep Gulati: "Thechallenge is to monitor, maintain and control the multiple proprietary protocolsand interfaces. We are already addressing many of the same computational issuesin defence and other critical infrastructure security deployments." He added, "SPM's intrinsic scaleability to handle hundreds to thousands of sensors is keyto its success in these applications." ViaLogy CEO, Mr. Shah Talukder stated: "The past few years we have been seeing aglobal shift and a heightened awareness for safety and security in the privatesector and greater emphasis on technology which enables business continuity andcrisis management. According to an IDC market report, the overall worldwideenterprise and government security/ continuity market is growing at a 10% growthrate through 2009, translating into over $120 billion addressable market by2007." Mr. Talukder added, "We are delighted that Cisco is deploying SPM at the SanJose campus. This is an important milestone in realizing SPM's potential as aplatform for sensor interoperability and to provide a policy-based servicedelivery architecture based on a customer's specific needs."
