The two companies will be combining to develop and implement customer-focused solutions designed to make technology more efficient, manageable and flexible. The acquisition of ASAP extends Dell’s long-term initiative to simplify IT for customers by removing cost and complexity.

In recent months, the company has announced several other initiatives to support IT simplification, including Dell On-Demand Desktop Streaming, which provides tighter security, easier manageability and better reliability in desktop environments, and Unified Communications, which helps customers reduce complexity and improve their productivity with myriad communications options. Dell’s Data Center Solutions Division is addressing the unique needs of hyper-scale data centers for customers whose businesses rely on enterprise computing solutions. Additionally, Dell’s recent acquisition of SilverBack Technologies, Inc., a service delivery platform provider, and announced plan to acquire EqualLogic, a leading provider of high-performance iSCSI storage area network (SAN) solutions, further underscore Dell’s commitment to simplify IT.

Are Your Windows Servers Secure? Prove It!

Ottawa, ON. Canada, Nov 20, 2007 Winzero® (www.Winzero.ca), a leader in network administration software for Microsoft® Windows®-based networks, today announced the availability of AccessReporter, an agent-less, fast, comprehensive discovery and reporting solution for analyzing Windows Server NTFS folder security, share permissions and tracking changes over time.

IT professionals know their IT environment is safe, but can they prove it when auditors or CIOs demand documentation? Now, with AccessReporter, they can instantly view NTFS and share security configurations of Windows servers, create and distribute security and security changes reports automatically, centrally audit security settings across multiple servers and boost confidence of suspicious auditors and nervous CIOs.

AccessReporter features an enhanced user interface and a new collection engine to maximize performance when executing large server security reporting jobs, and provides IT administrators with the ability to save reports for future comparison. AccessReporter's reporting process simplifies and shortens server security reporting projects, providing the fastest security settings collection and reporting performance available on the market. In addition, AccessReporter provides IT administrators with a granular level of control by reporting only what they need to know from multiple servers in multiple domains.

"AccessReporter will save significant time without compromising security for our customers such as VISA and British Petroleum (BP) by allowing division managers to only report security settings for what they are responsible for." said JP Hann, Director of Marketing. "When a division manager in a large financial institute needed to report data security for his division without access to the core servers, AccessReporter allowed him to report both directory and share permissions in a presentable format and track what security settings have changed since the last report.”

By providing on-demand reporting capabilities, IT managers using AccessReporter can assess their environment, track system changes over time and identify security weaknesses or prove that the environment is safe and secure.

"Window’s ACL-based security model is powerful, but because it's so extensive, it can be difficult to manage," said Akos Sandor, senior vice president of Microsoft Development at Winzero."By adding AccessReporter to our award-winning solutions, we're helping IT professionals get the most out of Window’s sophisticated security capabilities creating a more secure enterprise. AccessReporter will be especially well-received by industries - such as government, financial services, health care, and defense – that are highly sensitive to security concerns and need to keep their file server security up-to-date.”

Pricing and Availability
AccessReporter is available immediately and is enterprise licensed without per user or per server licensing. AccessReporter is available through Winzero and Winzero's global network of resellers. A free evaluation copy of AccessReporter is available at: http://www.winzero.ca/Downloads.htm.
