FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Concurrent Elects Krish Panu to Board of Directors

ATLANTA, GA – 13 November 2008 - Concurrent (Nasdaq: CCUR), a worldwide leader in real-time Linux-based computing technologies, today announced that Krish Panu has been elected to the board of directors, to be seated as an immediate addition as the board expands from five directors to six. He is currently managing partner with The Galleon Group, one of Concurrent’s largest shareholders.

“Mr. Panu’s extensive experience in building successful technology companies combined with his knowledge of the investment community is a tremendous asset,” stated Dan Mondor, Concurrent president and CEO.

Mr. Panu’s professional career includes twenty-four years in technology, where he has built successful businesses which have experienced explosive revenue growth and global expansion while creating multi-billion dollar markets.  Prior to joining The Galleon Group, Mr. Panu was chairman, CEO and president of @Road, Inc., a worldwide leader in mobile resource management solutions.  Under his leadership, @Road became one of the first profitable “software as a service” companies (SaaS), developing a broad customer base and acquiring and integrating several companies.  In February 2007, Mr. Panu successfully negotiated and completed a merger between @Road and Trimble Navigation Ltd. for almost half a billion dollars.

Prior to @Road, Mr. Panu served as vice president and general manager of the Logic Products division of semiconductor manufacturer Atmel Corporation, where he directed the engineering, manufacturing, software development and marketing groups.  His management of many of Atmel’s strategic and operational initiatives strongly contributed to the $1 billion revenue growth the company saw during his seven-year tenure.  Previous to Atmel, Mr. Panu held executive sales and marketing roles at Catalyst Semiconductor, Datapoint Corporation and Xicor.

Mr. Panu served on the board of directors of PeopleSupport, Inc (NASDAQ: PSPT) until its acquisition by Aegis in October, and currently serves on the board of Liquid Computing, Inc. (privately held). In addition, he serves as president of Panu Foundation, a nonprofit corporation which provides grants to educational institutions and supports healthcare research and other charitable activities around the world.

“Mr. Panu has developed a broad network of relationships in venture capital, investment banking and entrepreneur communities,” said Steve Nussrallah, Concurrent’s chairman of the board. “His extensive experience as a ‘Silicon Valley’ business leader and the success he has achieved in the investment community make him an excellent addition to the board of directors.”

Mr. Panu holds a B.S. in electrical engineering, an M.S. in computer engineering and an M.B.A. from Wayne State University in Michigan.
