SiCortex Names Fabrizio Magugliani to Head European Market Development

SiCortex, the emerging leader in compact, low power Linux(R)
clusters, today announced that it has named Fabrizio Magugliani as
Director, European Market Development. Dr. Magugliani will ramp up
SiCortex´s sales and marketing efforts in Europe.

Dr. Magugliani joins SiCortex from a position as project manager
at Italy-based grid solutions provider NICE Srl. Prior to joining NICE
he was Director of Technical Marketing, EMEA Operations for Linux
Networx, following a 10-year stint in a variety of technical and
marketing positions at SGI. He has a strong track record of
significantly increasing revenues and growing strong field and sales
organizations.

"Since our introduction to the European market we have seen
increased interest and a growing sales pipeline," said SiCortex CEO
Dr. John Mucci. "Fabrizio´s extensive experience and knowledge of the
market, coupled with his outstanding technical expertise, will prove
to be a valuable asset for SiCortex, our VARS and our end users."

"SiCortex´s combination of high productivity, very low power and
small footprint make it particularly well-suited for the European
market," Fabrizio said. "I believe there is tremendous potential to
have a significant impact in the entire region."

SiCortex has introduced a new concept in high performance
computing, reducing power consumption and physical size to gain
performance. The company has implemented a complete multicore cluster
node on a chip, including six 64-bit processors, multiple memory
controllers, a high performance cluster interconnect and a PCIexpress
connection to storage and internetworking. A SiCortex multicore node
consumes 15 watts of power, an order of magnitude less than the 250
watts used in a conventional cluster node. SiCortex´s product line
ranges from the SC072 deskside supercomputer to the SC5832, which can
perform six trillion operations per second in a cabinet that is less
than one-third the size of conventional clusters.
