"The adoption of key autonomic computing technologies and becoming a part of the IBM autonomic vision is a milestone event for our Company and its shareholders," said Bernard M. Ciongoli, president of Tech Laboratories, Inc. "Our autonomic computing management solution is now generally available to our customer base through our sales channels."

"IBM is committed to working with companies like Tech Laboratories to incorporate autonomic computing technologies based on open standards into their products," said David Bartlett, director, Autonomic Computing, IBM. "IBM is making these technologies available as part of our Autonomic Computing Toolkit on developerWorks to accelerate adoption in the industry."

DynaTraX(TM) technology has now been enabled to operate with the IBM Autonomic Computing Toolkit. This enablement embraces the Autonomic Computing models, which are the building block for monitoring and healing its core components. This Autonomic management continually monitors the DynaTraX Technology environment, generates events in the Common Base Event format, analyses the information received, and by utilizing the Autonomic Management Engine, executes a response based on a plan. This controlled environment allows DynaTraX(TM) Technology to be a dynamic solution to today's next- generation networks.

Tech Laboratories has enabled its DynaTraX(TM) Autonomic Self Healing (DASH) WEB services to interoperate with technologies in IBM's Autonomic Computing Toolkit.

DASH Web Services Integration provides a centralized application management schema that both transcends third-party management applications and also integrates tightly with them. This abstraction allows for maximum flexibility without the loss of control. This web-based management platform has the ability to adapt to most any type of management schema.

"Data networks are expanding rapidly to provide interconnection between wide ranges of computing resources from the public internet to corporate intranets, from private servers to global services and physical infrastructure networks to wireless networks," said Ciongoli. "Managing and monitoring the resources is a laborious task against the cost of local and remote operations, which figures exclude productivity, potential revenues losses and theft of intellectual property. Using autonomic solutions for infrastructure management will afford customers to have control of their network activities thus reducing the cost of ownership and increasing the response time it takes to keep systems in service while protecting their valuable assets and intellectual property."

About Tech Laboratories, Inc.

Tech Laboratories, Inc. manufactures, markets and sells a product creating a new paradigm of automating and securing high-tech networks at the physical layer. The Company's primary product, DynaTraX(TM), a patented (US6414953B1) high-speed digital matrix cross-connect switch with a revolutionary new technology, can significantly reduce network downtime and achieve substantial cost savings in data and telecommunications networking environments. DynaTraX(TM) has the ability to create a critical and meaningful solution to stop hackers from intruding into networks, thereby thwarting cyber-terrorists. DynaTraX(TM) electronically disconnects a hacker, detected by Intrusion Detection Software, and reconnects him to a simulated network within 60-90 nanoseconds that allows you to hold and trace him.

About IBM

IBM is the world's largest information technology company, with 80 years of leadership in helping businesses innovate. IBM works with companies of all sizes around the world to deploy a full range of IBM technologies. For more information about IBM, visit http://www.ibm.com .

In 2001, IBM Research's Paul Horn introduced the term "autonomic computing" and published the autonomic computing manifesto, a call to action to the industry and an overview of autonomic computing systems. IBM has since launched the Autonomic Computing unit; developed an industry blueprint for autonomic computing; integrated autonomic computing capabilities into more than 415 product features in 50 distinct IBM products; continues to drive the adoption of standards across the industry; and provides assets and tools to assist software developers in designing and testing autonomic solutions.

The IBM® Autonomic Computing Toolkit consists of a number of interlocking components that can be mixed and matched to build advanced autonomic computing systems. The components are not a closed system. The components are built on open standards and are designed to be easily modified and extended with third-party solutions that, in turn, can be embedded in other solutions. It is this very openness that gives the IBM Autonomic Computing Toolkit its flexibility.
