GMP Securities Chooses ClearCube to Enhance Security on the Trading Floor and Benefit from Centralizing PC Resources New PC Clients Provide End-Users the Power They Need While Maximizing Uptime Austin, Texas and Toronto – January 15, 2007 – ClearCube Technology, the market leader in centralized computing solutions, today announced that investment dealer GMP Securities L.P., a subsidiary of GMP Capital Trust (TSX:GMP.UN), has selected ClearCube's solutions to power its institutional sales and trading desktop computing environment. GMP Securities will now centralize its PC resources in the data center, eliminating security issues related to traditional PCs, which could be easily moved. In addition, the ClearCube solution provides the institutional equity sales and trading department with the desktop power it needs to do its job. The ClearCube solution provides 99.9-percent uptime and eliminates clumsy ergonomic issues related to multiple PCs on each professional's desk. GMP Securities investigated ClearCube's solution in mid-2006, when a relocation presented the opportunity to install a brand new computing environment. GMP Securities purchased a solution powered by ClearCube's Sentral™, the company's award-winning management software that can connect multiple end-user desktop clients to centralized PC resources in the data center. Power-users, such as those on the trading floor, receive the same performance provided by having their own PCs at their desks. "When we evaluated our options, we realized that the security and other benefits derived from centralizing our PC resources in the data center were significant," said Jason Scott, manager of Technology Services for GMP Securities L.P. "The ClearCube solution aligns with our IT and business goals by allowing us to ensure that confidential, vital data stays in-house. In addition, the solution virtually eliminates IT downtime. The IT staff in our central data center can seamlessly move end-users off of an unresponsive or disabled workstation to a working one without the trader losing any time." "With strict data security regulations and costly IT downtime concerns, financial services organizations have made the ClearCube centralized computing solution the industry's most popular choice for ensuring IT efficiency," said Bruce Cohen, president and CEO, ClearCube Technology. "GMP Securities joins a growing community of customers that are leveraging the unparalleled reliability, security and flexibility of the ClearCube solution to improve company-wide productivity."
