SonicWALL and Postec Deliver Expanded Managed Services Offering for Retailers

SonicWALL, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNWL) and Postec, Inc., a SonicWALL Gold Partner and leading provider of point-of-sale (POS) technology solutions for restaurants, hotels, independent grocers, shops and stores, today announced that they will showcase their retail solutions this week at the Retail Solutions Providers Association's (RSPA) annual EXPOtech 2006 in Reno, Nevada.

Postec has re-imagined and expanded IT support for this vital, transaction-driven sector with a successful managed services offering for retail. Using SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS), a simple and flexible management solution for secure retail networks, coupled with SonicWALL's award-winning Internet security appliances, Postec is redefining retailers' expectations for network security, safety and accountability with its own managed solution suite of services.

"Customers in the hospitality and retail industries generally focus on the hardware aspects of transactional technologies and many traditional POS providers offer only the most basic services for their technology customers," says Postec President David Shaw. "Managed services for network and data security have been treated as an afterthought, if at all. Using technology from SonicWALL, we've changed our business to focus on value-add ongoing services, and our customers are responding. We've increased market share by helping countless retailers to reduce IT management costs and better protect critical business systems."

Postec retail customers include Bell's Food Stores, Callaway Gardens, Georgia Dome, Georgia World Congress Center, Pinehurst Resorts and Paradies Shops.

SonicWALL helps retailers meet these challenges, and ensures the security and reliability of their systems, delivering rock-solid network security, flexibility and reliability. SonicWALL's line of high-performance firewalls, Unified Threat Management (UTM) services and management software secures POS transactions, protects the network and guarantees that sensitive customer data is safe at all times.
