SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - June 24, 2008) - Sonoa
Systems, Inc., an innovative provider of software and appliances that
enable the enterprise and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers to deliver
customer-facing Web services, today announced that several new customers
have selected Sonoa ServiceNet to free their applications from the
security, interoperability and performance complexities that arise when
delivering Web services at cloud scale.
Sonoa handles the unique challenges enterprises and SaaS providers face
when opening Web services to large numbers of diverse customers, including:

visibility and enforcement, protocol mediation that accelerates adding new
customers, and traffic management ensuring priority customers receive
priority service. By providing the operational visibility, management and
control, ServiceNet enables enterprises and SaaS providers to free their
applications and focus on innovation in their Web services instead of
writing code to handle operational challenges. Using Sonoa technology, SaaS
providers can jumpstart their API strategies, enterprises can offer
customer-facing commercial Web services and IT can enable enterprise
mashups with enterprise-class security and control.
The company's approach provides the technology backbone to drive a new wave
of cloud scale computing. Sonoa's growing roster of new customers includes
Pfizer, the world's largest research-based pharmaceutical company,

Warner Music, home to the best-known record labels in the music industry,
and Sterling Infosystems, the leading provider of pre-employment screening,
