RFID Deployment Provides Advanced Levels of Inventory Visibility

San Jose, CA July 21, 2008 - SonicWALL (NASDAQ:SNWL), a leading
provider of secure network infrastructure has selected InSync
Software, Inc.'s Edgeware platform and Asset Tracking Solution to
provide physical inventory visibility and performance metrics of
Original Device Manufacturers (ODMs).

"We chose InSync Software for its ability to provide a single
dashboard view of all inventory locations," Says Atul Dhablania, VP of
Operations for SonicWALL. "InSync's solution has delivered this
real-time visibility and has additionally allowed us to better manage
our ODMs by providing us with indisputable performance metrics."

SonicWALL's primary application objectives were to reduce in-transit
times, lead times, lower inventory levels and manage ODM performance.
SonicWALL executives sought a scalable solution that could provide
real-time visibility of inventory and that could be deployed
throughout their extended supply chain. Additionally, SonicWALL
required the ability to integrate item-level processes information
from its suppliers into its existing ERP system. Integrated data is
used to enhance and automate business processes.

InSync's Asset Tracking Solution uses passive GEN2 UHF RFID tags, each
written with item-specific product information as it is applied to
product shells. UHF RFID antennas were installed to read the tags at
entry and exit points in each manufacturer's facility. When shipments
arrive at the 3PL warehouse, they pass through RFID-enabled Dock
Doors, where UHF antennas record their entry.

To utilize RFID infrastructure and minimize development and deployment
time, SonicWALL uses InSync's Edgeware application platform in
conjunction with InSync's Asset Tracking Solution. The Edgeware
platform allows operators to configure, monitor and maintain RFID and
barcode devices in the manufacturing and distribution facilities.
InSync's Asset Tracking Solution runs on the Edgeware platform and
makes use of RFID data from all locations.

InSync's software transforms data using pre-defined business logic,
then packages and sends it to SonicWALL's inventory tracking system.
The software automates the sending of event notices and messages when
they occur, and triggers alerts when necessary. Dashboard views allow
operators onsite or remotely to track an assets expected route,
history, and condition, as well as view real-time inventory levels in
remote locations and in-transit.

"We were very pleased to be selected by SonicWALL for this
mission-critical application," Ashish Chona, CEO of InSync Software
Inc. says. "The elements of this application; high volumes of high
value assets moving between disparate business partners, are common
characteristics of today's High Tech global business environments. Our
Asset Tracking Solution addresses these challenges, providing
SonicWALL with a measurable "pulse" for every asset."
