Geospatial solutions speed critical analysis and informed decision
making across organizations

Intergraph (NASDAQ: INGR) Mapping and Geospatial Solutions is
demonstrating Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and disaster
management at this year's GITA Conference in Denver, March 6-9. The oil spill response application
quickly shows incident area and various features in the
vicinity.

The company's commercially available software supports geospatial data
storage in industry standard databases, enables web-based data access
to integrated data stores and provides real-time resource monitoring
and management to leverage data.

HECo's Geospatial Analysis and Enterprise Web environment
based on Intergraph's GeoMedia(R) WebMap has been verified to
assist in oil spills and is being continually enhanced to
assist with response scenarios, such as CIP, weather and
geologic disasters, Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) removal ,
and vegetation management.

MECo uses Intergraph's TrackForce for Mobile Resource
Management (MRM) solution to bring together multiple sources
of information - including land base maps for Maui, Lanai and
Molokai; locations of electric network assets; and real-time
location of the company's 70 vehicles - for monitoring and
management of field resources.asp

New Systems Enable Quick Delivery of Mission Critical Information Relied
Upon by Corporations and Local, State and Federal Government Agencies to
Make Critical and Lifesaving Decisions

SEATTLE, Isilon(R) Systems, the leader in
clustered storage, today announced that the United States Geological Survey
(USGS) has selected Isilon's IQ clustered storage system as the primary
repository for its vast and rapidly growing collection of geo-referenced
information -- data that includes aerial and satellite imagery, complex
geological models, and topographic, contour and flood plain maps. The value of the USGS to
the Nation rests on its ability to carry out studies on a national scale
and to sustain long-term monitoring and assessment of natural resources. By way of built-in GeoMedia tools, the application
dynamically adds new spatial information during the response
interval, such as updates to oil spill area and positions of
crews and equipment.

Isilon IQ was designed for unstructured data and for use in data-intensive
markets such as media and entertainment, digital imaging, life sciences,
oil and gas and government. This gives non-expert users the
ability to quickly render layers of digital geospatial data into
informative maps for critical analysis and decision-making .intergraph.

Corporations, state and local governments and Federal agencies including
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rely on USGS to make
mission critical and life-saving decisions.
"The advanced satellite and mapping services offered by USGS are
revolutionizing how government agencies and corporations visualize and act
upon the physical world," said Brett Goodwin, VP of which are powered by the latest version of Isilon's
award-winning OneFS(R) distributed file system software and use high-speed,
low -latency InfiniBand for intracluster communication. In turn, decision makers at all levels of

U.S. Geological Survey Selects Isilon IQ for its Rapidly Growing Stores of Geo-Referenced Maps and Imagery

Isilon IQ provides USGS with
the unsurpassed ability to simplify its workflow, improve performance and
to support its vast, ever-expanding repositories of geological data.

llek versamap

In contrast to its
legacy storage systems which created separate silos of data that were
cumbersome to manage, Isilon IQ enables USGS to seamlessly grow its storage
repository to more than 528 TB in a single, unified pool of storage that is
extremely easy to manage. Together these
files provide a comprehensive view of areas that can be examined during
times of crisis, applied to scientific studies, or used for commercial
purposes such as verifying property or insurance worthiness. "We expect to enhance
overall customer service for all types of work, crisis situations as
well as routine operations.
