`ALISO VIEJO, Calif. -- QLogic Corp. (Nasdaq:QLGC)and Alacritech(r), Inc. today announced the
`companieshaveenteredinto a partnership to respond to the market need for multi-platform support of a 10
`Gigabit TCP Offload Engine (TOE). QLogicis licensing Alacritech TCP offload patents to deliver HBAs with

`
`"To support all of their I/O intensive applications, customers are looking to see Alacritech SLIC
`Technology(r) made available across many operating environments," said Larry Boucher, president
`and CEO, Alacritech. "With a pervasive Fibre Channel HBA market presence based on support for
`popular operating systems, QLogic is in a unique position to partner with Alacritech and bring
`Alacritech SLIC Technology to a broader market."
`
`"Linux is a high performance computing platform and 10 Gigabit offload will be essential to server
`performancein the future," said Brian Garrett, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Making
`Alacritech SLIC Technology(r) broadly available to the Linux community through the QLogic and
`Alacritech partnership is an important milestone." "Customers expect TCP offload to be a key
`component of a 10 Gigabit Ethernet networkthatis efficiently delivering data," said Roger Klein, vice
`president and general manager, QLogic Computer Systems Group. "We expect the partnership
`between QLogic and Alacritech to broaden customer access to 10 Gigabit TOE and accelerate
