Platform Solutions, Inc. Secures Second Round of Financing Led by Goldman Sachs

SUNNYVALE, CA (ots)

Platform Solutions, Inc. (PSI), a supplier
of Intel®-Itanium® 2 based Plug Compatible Manufacture (PCM)
servers for IBM® z/OS® mainframe applications today announced it
has received its second round of financing. The round was led by
Goldman Sachs and affiliates and included initial round investors
Blueprint Ventures, Interwest Partners, and Investcorp.
The Series-B funding will be used to further expand development
efforts and provide operating capital for product introduction.
"PSI has numerous great ingredients -- a mainframe-seasoned
management team, talented engineers, and patented virtualization
technology -- that will reinvigorate the PCM market in a 64-bit
world," said Joe DiSabato, Managing Director of Goldman Sachs. "The
z/OS operating system has shown remarkable resilience to attacks from
open systems competitors. PSI's ability to execute z/OS on an open
systems server, also capable of running UNIX, Windows®, and Linux,
will bridge these two worlds like never before."
"PSI will offer a world class alternative to IBM's z/Series and
p/Series servers in a single reconfigurable system," said Michael
Maulick, President and CEO of PSI. "Thanks to our Amdahl heritage and
technology we will soon demonstrate our product to the market place.
This added funding is targeted to provide us the ability to meet our
capital requirements through profitability."
