Augmentix provides expertise in designing government and military-grade, rugged systems and intelligent high-availability servers. Together, the company will continue to serve mobile and server platforms, and module form factors for thermally intensive, highly reliable and performance-oriented applications. Augmentix's revenue for the first half of 2008 was $28 million, and the company expects seasonal growth throughout the remainder of 2008.
Rugged computing solutions from Augmentix, founded in 2003, serve various growth markets, including government and military applications, as well as first responders and mobile service applications in utilities, telecommunications and industrial manufacturing. Additional target markets include home healthcare and professional service applications. In these markets, heat, vibration/shock, moisture and dust can impact reliability. Augmentix provides hallmark product solutions, using proven, patent-pending ruggedization technologies that directly address these environmental challenges. Augmentix's rugged server solutions are sold directly to U.S. government agencies, and the company's rugged notebooks are developed with and distributed exclusively through a leading, U.S.-based, PC original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
"The new combined portfolio further positions Entorian into high-growth markets, where our core expertise is a key differentiator. Our manufacturing strength, proven IP, subsystems and end-product offerings serve environmentally demanding, size-limited
applications where reliability is key," said Wayne Lieberman, CEO of Entorian Technologies. "Additionally, the Augmentix acquisition brings new revenue opportunities, including an established revenue base through a significant OEM, and an impressive customer list that includes most branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and top system integrators including Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN), Secure Computing Corp. (NASDAQ: SCUR) and Northrup Grumman Corp. (NYSE: NOC)," he continued.
"We are excited to become a part of the Entorian team. Our rugged computing solutions for mission-critical applications set new standards in performance, reliability and seamless integration into our customers' demanding environments. Along with Entorian, we plan to continue to strive to maximize customer value by delivering advanced, world-class solutions for vertical markets," said Stephan Godevais, president and CEO of Augmentix. Mr. Godevais brings a wealth of experience in the mobile market as he joins the Entorian management team. Prior to joining Augmentix, Mr. Godevais acted as Chairman, President and CEO of Valence Technologies (NASDAQ: VLNC) and was vice president and general manager of Dell's Inspiron and Dimension product groups. Mr. Godevais will assume the roll of President of the Augmentix subsidiary.
