Monday February 2, 9:30 am ET

Ballston Spa, NY, February 2, 2004 - GridApp Systems has been selected by ReserveAmerica, a business of InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI), to build out its Oracle 10g infrastructure for its next generation reservation system. This system will enable agents to search and make reservations in real time, accessing rates, maps, and directions at unprecedented speeds.

GridApp Systems has a deep expertise deploying and administering Oracle's database applications including 10g Real Application Cluster (RAC). As an early participant in the Oracle 10g beta program GridApp Systems has been working with this technology since its inception.

GridApp's core product offering, the D2500 database appliance, enables organizations to consolidate Oracle databases onto a single unified platform where system capacity can be shared across several databases. Through consolidation, companies can realize a 75% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) while improving database reliability, security and manageability.

"Since Oracle 10g is a relatively new technology, there are few organizations that understand the nuances of deploying and administering the platform," stated Robert Gardos, CEO of GridApp Systems. "Our knowledge accumulated during the Oracle 10g beta program combined with the team's expertise in storage, networking and clustering will enable GridApp to effectively support the build out of ReserveAmerica's reservation system."

GridApp Systems is a leader in database management and resource virtualization, leveraging grid and utility computing technologies to deliver high performing, flexible and cost-effective solutions to enterprises. GridApp Systems eliminates the complexity of RAC by providing a unified platform to manage multiple databases. GridApp Systems is privately held and headquartered in New York City.
