Monday March 27, 8:31 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Yodlee and Exodus Team for Secure Personal Information Management Yodlee Uses the Exodus Vault to Provide Security for Aggregating Personal Data on the Web SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 2000-- Yodlee.com, Inc.(TM), pioneer of the Web Personalization Platform, today announced that it has teamed with Exodus Communications(TM), Inc., (Nasdaq:EXDS - news), a leader in complex Internet hosting and managed services, to provide its customers the highest levels of physical and electronic security for aggregating personal data on the Web. To ensure the privacy and security of users, Yodlee has secured its most sensitive personal account data on servers located in an Exodus® Vault(TM), a revolutionary Internet server hosting space that provides enhanced physical security, fire protection and electronic shielding for the systems that businesses use to conduct electronic commerce transactions. Under this customized arrangement, Yodlee will additionally leverage Exodus` high-speed, redundant backbone and network management expertise to offer its services. Yodlee will also continue to house data for its normal business operations on servers hosted in a space within an Exodus Internet Data Center (IDC). Yodlee`s Personalization Platform is powering many leading Web sites, enabling e-businesses to offer their users a common interface for managing and accessing all their personal account information -- including bank balances, stock portfolios, travel reservations, emails, shopping orders, and more -- across more than a thousand individual sites. ``We have a commitment to our partners and to our users to ensure quick, reliable access to personal accounts around the clock, even as these partner networks grow to support millions of users,`` said Anil Arora, Yodlee`s president and CEO. ``Exodus has worked closely with us from the beginning to help create the most secure environment available for a third-party site.`` ``Yodlee is a leader in setting the standard for securely managing personal data and activities on the Internet,`` said Ellen M. Hancock, president and CEO of Exodus. ``We`re pleased to be working with Yodlee to help provide the first secure, scalable platform for aggregating personal content across the Web.`` More consumers are managing their personal activities online, and the market is growing exponentially. For example, 34 million consumers already plan some aspects of their travel online; 26 million households are expected to bank online by 2003; and online shopping is expected to exceed $268 billion by 2003, according to recent statistics (Emarketer, December 1999). Despite the tremendous growth in Internet accounts, there has been no common infrastructure for users to easily manage all their disparate activities. The Yodlee Personalization Platform provides the foundation for managing all personal data, enabling companies to bring the ultimate benefit to their users: to simplify their lives online. The Exodus Vault To provide maximum physical security for its customers` systems, Exodus designed the Exodus Vault, the first-of-its-kind private, secure Internet server environment that features high-impact resistant walls and windows. The structure, housed within an Exodus IDC, protects customers` hardware including servers, routers, switches and cabling that are used for high-value Internet transactions. Exodus Vault access is controlled through leading-edge security technologies such as biometric scanners, motion and temperature sensors, and it is continuously monitored with surveillance cameras. The Vault can be used in conjunction with Exodus` other electronic security services or as a stand-alone security package. About Yodlee Founded in 1999, Yodlee is revolutionizing the way consumers use the Internet by delivering the first Web Personalization Platform. The Yodlee Platform empowers today`s e-businesses to rapidly create a secure gateway to their customers` personal account information across the Web -- all through a single interface.
