Fujitsu Agreement Provides High Performance, Low Cost Solution for Apple Space

CHIPPEWA VALLEY, WI, January 3, 2006-Small Tree Communications, the leading
provider of unique, state-of-the-art enterprise networking solutions for
Mac OS X, has reached an OEM agreement with Fujitsu for its 10GbE CX-4
switches, enabling Small Tree to offer the first complete 10GbE CX-4 bundle
solution in the Apple market space. The end-to-end integrated solution
provided by Small Tree includes a 12 port Fujitsu switch, Intel 10GbE CX-4
Network Interface Cards, Small Tree 10GbE drivers and BlazeFS file sharing
system software.

“Fujitsu has an excellent reputation for providing products with high
performance at attractive price points that are backed by exceptionally
reliable engineering,” stated Corky Seeber, president of Small Tree

increasing networking needs at a lower relative cost.”
