STOCKLEY PARK, U.K. - 9th April 2008: Atempo, Inc., a leading provider of cross-platform data protection and archiving solutions, today announced that storage industry veteran Michael V. Wall has joined Atempo's Board of Directors.

Mr. Wall, a founding member of the management team that developed Intel's highly successful storage business, brings 29 years of overall industry leadership and 10 years of storage experience to help guide Atempo as the company continues its momentum during a period of expansion and integration in its product line.

During his 15 years at Intel Corporation, Mr. Wall was responsible for managing all aspects of product and business development for the storage business, enabling the integration of standard microprocessors into a majority of storage solutions in production today. The result has been explosive growth in the number of storage systems shipped and the creation of new product categories in the mid-range and low end. Mr. Wall worked closely with many of the multi-national OEMs that manufacture and distribute servers, workstations, and storage solutions. He was previously the general manager for Intel's Supercomputer Systems Division, which introduced Intel's x86 architecture into the high performance computing market with massively parallel systems.

Prior to joining Intel, Mr. Wall served as a general manager responsible for North American Operations at supercomputing company Cray Research. He also held several marketing management positions at IBM Corporation.

"Mike's impressive background in the storage industry will prove to be invaluable to Atempo during a critical period that includes expansion and innovations to our product portfolio," said Neal Ater, Atempo CEO. "We are thrilled to have Mike on board to provide his strategic insights as our company continues its strong market growth and broadens its technology reach."

"Today's midsize and large organisations face a multitude of complex data management issues that include protecting and preserving the rising volume of corporate data, ensuring regulatory compliance, and addressing eDiscovery requirements," said Wall. "Atempo is at the forefront in delivering data protection and archiving solutions that can meet these challenges now and in the future. I look forward to working with Atempo's management team and my fellow board members to continue Atempo's growth as a technology leader in storage management."
