GlobeNewswire
2010-02-22


CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 22, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elliptical Mobile
Solutions, the leader in Micro-Modular Data Centers(TM), today
announced that Don E. Kennedy has accepted the position of Senior Vice
President of International Sales.

Kennedy will lead the company's global sales efforts, including markets
in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, all of which are seeing
significant growth in information technology (IT).

Elliptical Mobile Solutions (EMS) is the sole provider of
self-contained, high-density, cost-effective, and energy-efficient data
centers. As Senior V.P., Kennedy will appoint and manage the channel
partners that are the basis of EMS's business model. In addition, he
will develop relationships with select OEMs who wish to engage with EMS
in key target markets.

Kennedy brings to EMS more than 27 years of senior-level sales and
marketing experience within the international high-tech industry. Prior
to joining EMS, he served as V.P., Global Channels for Seagate
Technology, a $12 billion global storage technology manufacturer. In
this capacity, he led a distribution sales team with annual revenue
responsibility in excess of $4 billion quota and exceeded 100% of the
company's sales revenue target.

During his tenure with Seagate, Kennedy held various senior-level sales
and marketing positions based in Singapore, Paris, San Jose and London
and consistently surpassed sales revenue targets throughout the Middle
East, Europe, Africa, the Asia Pacific region, and the United States.

Prior to joining Seagate, Kennedy founded Westan International, where
he was Western Digital's master distributor for South East Asia and a
key distributor and manufacturer's representative for IntelliSync,
Labtec and Chromatic Research.

Kennedy also spent 14 years holding executive roles at Western Digital,
including 6 years based in Singapore as V.P. of Asia Pacific sales.

"We are pleased to have someone of Don's caliber join the EMS team,"
said Bill Stockwell, CEO of EMS. "His track record of success, coupled
with his international sales expertise, will prove invaluable as we
begin to focus our efforts on worldwide growth and expansion."

EMS's highly successful entry into the global IT market began in
January when the company, together with channel partner Dot VN,
launched its products at a special conference in Hanoi. The equipment
was not only embraced by IT leaders for its scalability, speed of
deployment, cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency, but also endorsed
by the government as the best solution for the country's rapidly
growing economy.

EMS products offer a patented closed loop cooling that can
significantly reduce data center cooling costs up to 80% and
electricity costs up to 50%, providing one of the Greenest IT solutions
on the market today.

Kennedy noted that Vietnam provides a solid platform on which to build
EMS's global brand. "I'm thrilled to be a part of EMS," he said. "It's
not only exciting to launch a breakthrough product, but also meaningful
in that it is a technology driven by the need to reduce data center
pollution by improving cooling and energy efficiencies."

He added that he's confident that he will be able to leverage the
trusted relationships he's established with IT leaders over the past 27
years to drive sales penetration in new markets for EMS.

Kennedy holds a Business Management degree from North Carolina State
University, Raleigh, N.C. He resides in Aliso Viejo, CA with his wife,
Suzanne, and son, Don III but will be spending the majority of his time
overseas, developing and driving the company's international business.
