[http://www.vmware.com/products/vcloud/overview.html ] status, illustrating to customers
that the company's cloud services are underpinned by VMware's leading virtualization and
cloud computing technology, namely VMware vSphere(R) and VMware vCloud(R) Director(TM). A
member of the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP), the Enterprise Cloud and Enterprise
Cloud VDC VMware vCloud Powered service delivers a set of cloud computing services across
a common platform, supporting the largest set of existing applications and offering
distinctive application mobility uniquely available from VMware.
Mark Howling, CEO of Pulsant, states: "We have been delivering cloud solutions for

not just an upgrade or enhancement. Pulsant can truly deliver on cloud's promise of
unlimited scalability, total flexibility, quicker access and processing. Our customer
trials have recorded a 40-50% increase in speed and 20% reduction in power usage."
"The VMware vCloud(R) Powered program was developed to enable our service provider
partners to differentiate themselves and help them bring their enterprise-class cloud
services to market in this competitive landscape," said Gavin Jackson, director, vCloud &
Service Providers, EMEA, VMware. "We look forward to supporting Pulsant further as it
delivers on the agility and performance customers are looking for in the cloud computing
landscape."

vSphere-based virtualized or private cloud environment to the VMware vCloud Powered
service and back again. This application portability is a key differentiator allowing

customers require in their cloud solutions.
