Pleasanton, CA., Feb. 11, 2002
AdventNet, Inc., the leading management infrastructure solutions
provider announced the establishment of AdventNet KK, a wholly

reiterates its commitment to provide world-class products
and customer support with highly trained engineers and business
managers who excel in localized technology standards and business
protocols.

Yoshihito's responsibilities include leading the sales initiatives,
expanding product visibility, building channel partners, and
organizing sales to meet the growing business in Japan. "Yoshihito
is an industry veteran in network management and communication
software and has a proven track record with highly successful
organizations", said Kumar Padmini, VP of Worldwide Marketing
and Sales at AdventNet. "He will be a valuable asset
for us and we welcome him to our management team".
Mr. Yamashita has 22 years of experience in the network management
industry having previously worked for Japan Unisys (formerly
Univac) and then for NKK, where he worked on a joint project
with NetLabs in the United States. Prior to joining AdventNet,
he helped establish NK-EXA, the network management subsidiary
of NKK into a prominent player in Japan. He also worked for
ISO and ITU in network and transport layers and network management.

there will be an increasing demand for solutions for managing
and monitoring IT infrastructures. "AdventNet is well
positioned to provide these solutions, which increase productivity
