ASX Announcement 22 May 2017

ASX: LNU

LINIUS & IBM COLLABORATE TO PROMOTE & SELL THE LINIUS VIDEO VIRTUALIZATION ENGINE[TM]

IBM and Linius to jointly market and promote the Linius Video Virtualiza9on Engine[TM] , including building onto the IBM Bluemix plaAorm

Linius Technologies Limited (ASX: LNU) and wholly owned subsidiary, Linius Solu=ons Pty Ltd (Linius) , are pleased to announce the commencement of a collabora=on project with IBM to promote and sell the Linius Video VirtualizaJon Engine[TM] (Linius VVE) , including building onto the IBM Bluemix plaMorm , to IBM’s extensive network of corporate clients and beyond in Linius’ target market sectors.

This collabora=on project, between Linius Solu=ons and IBM, provides for the joint promo=on and marke=ng of the Linius VVE (including presales support) and submission of proposals for selling the Linius VVE to targeted customers as a standalone or integrated offering with IBM products.

Linius has been accepted as an IBM Business Partner in PartnerWorld, IBM’s channel program.

Bluemix weaves together services, infrastructure and data to help businesses bring their ideas into produc=on quickly.

1, consis=ng of huge data files which are cumbersome and sta=c. The Linius solu=on virtualises videos, exposing the internal data in much the way that Big Data virtualises the world’s text. As a result, organisa=ons can more easily and quickly add, splice and merge videos as needed. For example, a cable TV company will be able to deliver personalised TV ads, whilst a search company could return deliver hyper personalised video search from within videos.

Linius will work with IBM technology solu=ons to enhance the Linius VVE with IBM products and then promote and market these across all four of Linius’ target market sectors. This will include virtualisa=on hosted on the IBM Cloud, personalised adver=sing, an=-piracy, security and surveillance.

Chris Richardson, CEO of Linius, commented:

commercialisa=on plan. IBM has exis=ng rela=onships with the who’s who on our poten=al client target list.

“IBM Bluemix provides a great technology environment to build out the virtual video ecosystem. The Bluemix APIs offer a flexible development plaRorm and addi=onal func=onality such as video search and blockchain, and enhance our capabili=es to meet the needs of our ver=cal markets.
