Command Information Launches New Federal Division With Backing From The Carlyle Group, Novak Biddle Venture Partners, and Paladin Capital Group; Former SRA Chief Operating Officer David Kriegman to Head New Division

Herndon, VA - In another major step toward solidifying its leadership position in the burgeoning IPv6 industry, Command Information, America's largest and fastest growing IPv6 solutions provider, today announced the creation of Command Federal, a division to service the net-centric computing demands of the U.S. government. The new division, which is backed by a Series B investment led by new investor Paladin Capital Group's Homeland Security Fund, and includes additional investment by existing investors The Carlyle Group and Novak Biddle Venture Partners, will be led by former SRA International Chief Operating Officer (C.O.O.) David Kriegman.

"The Federal Government faces important challenges as it moves towards the 2008 mandated transition to IPv6," said Charles Rossotti, senior advisor at Carlyle. This second round of investment provides Command additional resources to build the leading position in helping the government make this critical transition. Command has already taken another important step in this direction by selecting David Kriegman, one the most experienced and successful executives in the IT services industry, to lead its work with Federal agencies."

"We recognize IPv6 as a growing market with huge potential commercially and for trusted internet operations in the 21st century," said Lt. General Kenneth Minihan, managing director at Paladin and former director of the National Security Agency (NSA). "Command Information's geographic proximity to government decision makers and the immense talent they have assembled, including David Kriegman, makes the company a natural leader in the space."

The Carlyle Group and Novak Biddle Venture Partners also provided Series A funding to launch Command Information earlier this year.

"David has nearly three decades of experience providing information technology services to federal government customers. His background will help to cement Command's leadership in the IPv6 space serving the Federal government," said Tom Patterson, chief executive officer and founder of Command Information. "The continued support from Carlyle and Novak Biddle has allowed Command to grow significantly since its launch, and we see Command Federal as a key step in our expansion."

Prior to joining Command, Kriegman was C.O.O. of SRA and before that served as senior vice president of the SRA Defense Sector during his two- decade tenure with the company. In his new role as President of Command Federal, Kriegman will lead all operations and activities pertaining to the Federal sector.

"IPv6 is a brand new technology that is important to improving government service and operations and Command Information is perfectly positioned to serve this new demand," said Kriegman.
