GridApp ClarityTM 3.2 Takes Silver in the Performance and Tuning Category

NEW YORK – January 17, 2007 GridApp Systems, Inc. (www.gridapp.com), the leading provider of database automation software and solutions, today announced that GridApp Clarity 3.2. has been named to the SearchSQLServer.com Products of the Year, winning the Silver in the 'Performance and Tuning' category. Winners of this prestigious award were selected based on six criteria: innovation, performance, ease of integration with existing environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality, and value.

According to SearchSQLServer.com, GridApp Clarity 3.2, "is one of those indispensable tools that help users manage a larger SQL Server environment. Its depth of functionality has earned it this year's Silver Award in SearchSQLServer.com's Products of the Year in 2006." SeachSQLServer.com continued, "One of the most essential functions is (Clarity's) ability to inventory your SQL Servers and detect which one of them does not meet your best practices. GridApp Clarity helps administrators easily bring these servers under best practice standards."

GridApp Clarity 3.2 is the only database administration solution to simplify and automate the management of complex, fragmented database environments. Clarity provides holistic visibility and insight into every aspect of the database infrastructure - supporting multi-vendor, multi-platform databases, and across multiple business units and geographic locations. Employing a single pane management dashboard, Clarity efficiently automates database tasks so enterprises can gain proper control in their rapid deployment of database driven business initiatives.

"Taking a Silver in the SearchSQLServer.com Products of the Year validates our technical leadership and is a tremendous honor that our entire team can be proud of achieving," said Rob Gardos, president and CEO of GridApp Systems. "As more and more companies look to implement new instances of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or migrate over from previous versions of the database, they are looking to Clarity to provide greater control over their environment. Clarity ensures that migration is efficient and effective, by automating the manual, time-intensive tasks associated with SQL Server management, standardization and policy enforcement."

The awards are presented by the editors of TechTarget's Windows Media Group and were judged by the SearchSQLServer.com editorial staff, in conjunction with a team of users, industry experts, analysts, and consultants. Judges selected the nine 'Products of the Year' - including three from the 'Performance and Tuning' category - from among enterprise Windows-related products introduced, upgraded, and shipped between September 30, 2005 and October 1, 2006.
