GIC SI's Investment to Help Fund ClearCube's Expansion in Asia
Austin, TX (December 15, 2003) - ClearCube Technology, the market leader
in PC Blade desktop computing, today announced an additional US$5 million
in funding from GIC Special Investments (GIC SI), the private equity investment
arm of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC). With
over US$100 billion in managed assets, GIC is one of the largest fund
management firms in the world, managing the foreign reserves of Singapore.
The additional funding will be used to expand ClearCube’s marketing
and sales presence in the Asia Pacific region.
“GIC SI investments focuses on well-run companies with a proven
track record which have the potential to be industry leaders,” said
Darren Wong, Vice President at GIC SI. “ClearCube is the recognized
leader in PC Blades, which we believe is the next logical step in desktop
computing.”
“The ClearCube solution has gained significant traction in Asia
Pacific as companies seek to dramatically reduce desktop operating costs
and improve security and availability,” said Raj Shah, Chief Marketing
Officer at ClearCube Technology. “GIC SI’s support is invaluable
as we continue to expand in the region.”
The ClearCube solution is simple: take the computer off the user’s
desk, shrink it to a PC blade, centralize the blades in a secure location,
and use software tools to remotely manage and switch between computers
and users. ClearCube’s management software enables a “touchless
IT” environment where IT managers can remotely manage and control
global desktop deployments. By deploying ClearCube, customers realize
99.9% uptime, stronger data and physical security, and at least a 40%
reduction in support costs.
