SANTA CRUZ, CA – August 10, 2011 – GraphOn Corporation (OTCBB: GOJO.OB), a leading worldwide developer of cloud application delivery and Web-enabling solutions, announced today that it has appointed John Cronin and Steve Ledger to its board of directors. The company also announced that Eldad Eilam has joined GraphOn as chief technology officer.
“With this announcement we have greatly strengthened our management team and board of directors,” said Bob Dilworth, chief executive officer of GraphOn. “John Cronin brings important expertise in intellectual property, Steve Ledger adds a critical perspective from a business and financial standpoint, and Eldad Eilam contributes extensive technological expertise.”
John Cronin is the founder, managing director and chairman of ipCapital Group, a leading intellectual property strategy firm and a strategic partner of GraphOn.

“I was delighted to be asked to join the board of GraphOn,” said Cronin. “My consulting practice and licensing company can help execute the expansion and monetization of the IP portfolio, and I can personally help GraphOn in very unique ways. I will focus my 25 years in inventive capability to collaborate with the highly talented GraphOn team to create a significant IP force in the cloud computing space.”

Ledger also serves on the boards of Crossroads Systems (CRDS – OTCBB) and Broadcast International (BCST – OTCBB).
“After working with Bob Dilworth and the GraphOn team as an advisor for the past few months, it has become increasingly clear that GraphOn’s unique approach to enabling cloud access at any time to legacy applications and data, rendered on any device regardless of operating system, addresses a very large market opportunity,” said Ledger. “I am pleased to be a member of the team, working to create value for GraphOn shareholders.”
