Press Release Body: NEW ROCHELLE, NY, March 26, 2008 -- A classified network
developed by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA), which included two key components from stateless computing
innovator and leader Symbio Technologies, Inc. (www.symbio-technologies.com), has
been certified and accredited by the U.S. Department of Energy. The classified
network, built from off-the-shelf components, included Symbio\'s diskless thin
clients and boot devices, two of the most popular products Symbio offers as part of
its security-centric computing technology.

Symbio received formal notification of the success of the project earlier this week
from Carlos M. Segarra PMP, technical director, Diskless Workstation Task Force of
NNSA, a semi-autonomous agency within the Department of Energy established by
Congress in 2000. NNSA is responsible for enhancing national security through the
military application of nuclear science, and maintains and enhances the safety,
security, reliability and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without
nuclear testing; works to reduce global danger from weapons of mass destruction;
provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion, and responds to
nuclear and radiological emergencies in the United States and abroad.

\"The National Nuclear Security Administration has received a Certification and
Accreditation letter for its pilot thin client architecture to operate in a
classified production environment,\" Mr. Segarra wrote to Symbio about the pilot
program which began last summer.

Symbio\'s Symbiont Certified Network Terminals -- small, stateless desktop devices,
also called \"diskless thin clients,\" that replace expensive PCs, were used in the
pilot program along with Symbiont Boot Appliances, which can power, connect and
manage up to 250 terminals each. The pilot program followed a year-and-a-half
search by the Diskless Workstation Taskforce to identify a \"tool kit\" of
commercially available products that would provide the highest level of security
while using existing infrastructure.

The deployment of the pilot program was coordinated by Energy Enterprise Solutions
(EES, www.eesllc.net), the prime IT services contractor to the DOE, and its
subcontractor, GTSI Corp. (www.gtsi.com) of Chantilly, Virginia, a leading IT
infrastructure solutions and services provider to the U.S. government, and a
value-added reseller of Symbio products.

The Most Data-Secure Desktop Available

\"Symbio was proud to have been selected by NNSA for this pilot project, and now is
even more proud to have come through with such flying colors,\" said Lew Tischler,
the company\'s CFO and director of worldwide VAR activities. Mr. Tischler said
Symbio worked closely with EES and GTSI in the planning and implementation
processes, \"with respect for how important it was to NNSA to have the most
data-secure desktop available. Symbio is extremely satisfied with the certification
and accreditation. Quite frankly,\"he said, \"we are absolutely and justifiably
bursting with pride!\"

The Symbio solution works on a simple and basic premise: using stateless and
diskless thin clients to create a \"virtual desktop,\" leaving the operating system,
applications and all data on the server. In this way, just one computer -- the
server -- can be secured much better and more efficiently than hundreds and
thousands of individual PCs. Symbio\'s stateless thin client products eliminate data
stored on the desktop, creating a seamless solution with unmatched security and data
theft prevention, while supporting industry-standard remote access techniques
provided by Microsoft Windows Terminal Services, Citrix and others.

Along with Symbio, other participants in the now-certified and accredited program
included Citrix, Dell, Network Appliance (NetApp), and nearly a dozen other top
vendors.
