CryoPort Receives Coverage in Independent Report

Report Covers CryoPort and KLATU's Use of Cloud Computing Technology for Cold Chain Management Application

LAKE FOREST, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/29/09 -- CryoPort, Inc. (OTCBB: CYRX) today announced that it has recently received recognition by well known independent technology analyst group Forrester Research for the development of CryoPort Express Portal, the industry's first integrated logistics solution for shipping, tracking and monitoring of high-value biological specimens.

According to the September 2009 report titled "Case Study: CryoPort Turns to Cloud Computing to Develop Tomorrow's New Vaccines," the software developed by KLATU Networks and deployed on a public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) leverages Amazon's EC2 cloud platform and delivers cost efficiency and on-demand scalability when it is needed. The solution integrates shipping logistics and temperature monitoring into a single application. It orchestrates data entry of multi-legs shipments, prepares FDA/Customs forms and shipping labels, and electronically transmits all the shipping data to the overnight courier for processing. During shipment, the system captures detailed temperature logs and monitors each leg of the shipment, stitching together multiple tracking numbers so that it looks to the end customer like one transaction.

Larry Stambaugh, CEO of CryoPort, stated, "Having such an esteemed group acknowledge the technological advancement we have made in the shipping and tracking of temperature sensitive materials becomes a major selling tool for the company. Third party recognition of our technology will only enhance our ability to promote this service."

Rick Kriss, CEO of KLATU Networks, said, "Working with CryoPort, we saw a perfect partnership opportunity to leverage our experience in wireless cryogenic freezer monitoring and Web 2.0 technologies. We spent a lot of time researching available solutions and looking at what it would take to change the game from the end-customers perspective."

Why are APIs so important in clouds? Do APIs have to be open? How fast or slow will standardization in the cloud be? Why is ensuring high availability for the cloud service critical? In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Mårten Mickos, CEO of Eucalyptus Systems, will answer these questions and address cloud standards, APIs and the critical question: Will we end up with one, two or more competing cloud standards? And, how will this affect the evolution and adoption of cloud comput...
Very few trends in IT have generated as much buzz as cloud computing. In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Mark Hinkle, Director, Cloud Computing Community at Citrix, will cut through the hype and quickly clarify the ontology for cloud computing. The bulk of the conversation will focus on the open source software that can be used to build compute clouds (infrastructure-as-a-service) and the complementary open source management tools that can be combined to automate the management...
The proliferation of device connectivity is redefining the functionality requirements and capabilities of many embedded systems as more and more of these devices look to leverage the “Cloud.” While many commercial software and hardware component vendors have begun to realign their value propositions to satisfy growing demand, commercial-off-the-shelf products (COTS) alone cannot meet every OEM’s needs. As a result, the Embedded Cloud has injected a new level of uncertainty and a new competitive ...
