                                    Mandriva announces CloudPulse the   
   cloud-based I.T infrastructure management solution   
      
   Paris, the 2nd of November 2012 : Mandriva has released CloudPulse, its   
   new cloud-based I.T infrastructure management   
   solution. CloudPulse is the SaaS evolution of Mandriva Pulse². This   
   solution offers the same benefits of Pulse² without the   
   material and resources constraints involved in maintaining a   
   full-fledged solution.   
      
   Mandriva CloudPulse enables businesses of all sizes to perform   
   inventory, deployments, data and configuration backup of   
   their I.T infrastructure without the overhead incurred by the ownership   
   of a traditional infrastructure management solution.   
   Mandriva Cloud is available in several pricing plans that are   
   specifically targeted to small and medium-sized structures.   
      
   This new solution marks the beginnings of Mandriva as a cloud player. As   
   a new product, CloudPulse is the first release   
   that's part of a broader and coherent cloud strategy by Mandriva.   
   Mandriva believes that cloud computing should put   
   the customers' data privacy and ownership first. Data collected through   
   CloudPulse is hosted on servers located in France   
   and is not transferred to any third party.   
      
   “Mandriva CloudPulse offers a real choice to the SMB sector by providing   
   a strong solution and real data backup and privacy.   
   CloudPulse is the first product that carries Mandriva's vision and   
   values for cloud computing”.   
      
   More information on CloudPulse as well as our pricing plans are   
   available here:
