Intergraph Announces High-Performance InterServe Web Series with Multiple
Pentium Pro Processors, Windows NT

HUNTSVILLE, AL, FEB. 5, 1996 -- Intergraph Computer Systems today announced
the industry's first complete line of web server solutions using the
Windows NT operating system. The InterServe Web series features single,
dual, and quad Pentium and Pentium Pro processors; the open and
interoperable Windows NT Server (NTS) operating system; the Microsoft
Internet Information Server (IIS); Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
authoring tools; Intergraph's Transcend language translator, and free
on-site implementation services. In essence, InterServe Web server systems
come complete with all of the hardware, software, and support services
needed to create a company's Web page and establish and maintain a
professional presence on the Internet's World Wide Web.

"Internet connectivity is quickly gaining popularity as companies realize
the competitive advantages of marketing products on the Web and offering
employees instantaneous access to global information.," said Wade
Patterson, Executive Vice President of Intergraph Computer Systems.
"However, until now a company's network access has been limited by
expensive and proprietary RISC/UNIX systems. Intergraph offers the
InterServe Web server family as a response to the growing demand for a
full product line of Windows NT-based Internet solutions. Web server
solutions on Windows NTS bring to the industry affordability, ease of use
and administration, accelerated performance, and maximum system
security."

FULL LINE OF WEB SERVERS

Intergraph's full range of Windows NTS-based InterServe Web server products
include the entry-level InterServe Web-30 desktop with one 133 MHz Pentium
processor for businesses with small external Web sites, the InterServe Web
300 desktop with one 150 MHz Pentium Pro processor for mid-scale Internet
sites or internal Web applications, the InterServe Web-610 deskside
configuration with one 150 MHz Pentium Pro processor for large Internet
sites, and the InterServe Web-630 deskside configuration with dual 200 MHz
Pentium Pro processors for superior performance, high availability, and
high reliability for companies with very large databases and heavy
Internet traffic. For the highest level of Internet security, Intergraph's
Firewall-300 product, which limits traffic between the Intranet and
Internet, provide the most secure protection from unwanted Internet
access. The Firewall-300 includes the hardware, software, and consulting
services needed to easily implement the desired level of internal network
security. (All InterServe Web server systems are field-upgradable to twice
the number of processors as delivered in the base configurations.)

INTERGRAPH, MCI UNITE TO WIDEN INTERNET ACCESSIBILITY

Intergraph and MCI Telecommunications Corporation are entering a
cooperative marketing agreement for Internet products and services.
Intergraph's IT infrastructure expertise and powerful ready-to-run,
easy-to-administer Web server solutions on the Windows NT platform
combined with MCI's leadership in telecommunications products will bring
global Internet solutions to a wider range of users than ever before.

"Based on the Windows NT operating system and Intel architecture,
InterServe Web server products are high-performance, low-cost, and open
alternatives to RISC/UNIX Internet server solutions," said Stephen Von
Rump, Vice President of Marketing for MCI Data Services Division and
Internet Initiatives. "Intergraph is the industry's first supplier of a
turnkey Windows NT-based Web server line and a proven leader in developing
high-performance server technology and mastering complex IT
infrastructures. MCI will rely on Intergraph's expertise to supply,
install, and integrate small, medium, and large customer accounts."

UNIQUE WEB SERVER FEATURE SET

InterServe Web servers provide much more than basic Web publishing. They
support additional Internet serving requirements -- such as Domain Naming
Services, Simple Mail Transport Protocol gateway, Post Office Protocol
Services, and the PERL public domain programming script -- and offer the
first available application level firewall server based on NTS for
maintaining highly controlled Internet access. InterServe Web servers are
further enriched with unique features, such as 24-bit 2D/3D graphics
accelerators -- for producing professional Web pages with high-resolution,
high-quality designs and Intergraph's Transcend -- a tool for
automatically translating Web pages to and from English, French, Spanish
and German languages. Intergraph tops off its InterServe Web server
offering with free on-site implementation support, including complimentary
services covering the complete Web server system (hardware, operating
system, and applications) and one day of free on-site support for
installing and configuring the system. (Not included with Web-30.)

INTERSERVE WEB SERVERS OFFER THE BEST ELEMENTS OF PC, RISC/UNIX SERVERS

InterServe web servers enjoy unique positioning in the server marketplace,
uniting the best features of RISC/UNIX performance and system-level
support with PC affordability, openness, and familiar interface. Based on
the Intel architecture and the Windows NT operating system, these servers
are non-proprietary and affordable enterprise solutions. In addition,
powered by Intel's dynamic Pentium Pro processors, these servers achieve
performance superiority that challenges even the fastest RISC/UNIX
servers.

Intergraph's InterServe Web servers offer significant price/performance and
interoperability advantages over RISC/UNIX Internet servers, including
similarly configured Netra servers from Sun Microsystems.

SERVER SUPPORT TOOLS COMPLEMENT WEB FAMILY

Intergraph complements its full spectrum of InterServe web products with a
complete array of mass storage, backup, site management, and networking
solutions: the InterSTOR, InterCon-X, and InterSite product series.

The InterSTOR line of mass storage and backup hardware and software
includes optical storage, backup and recovery solutions, disk drives, and
the InterRAID family of Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID), which
extends abundant storage, high reliability, and data integrity to the
InterServe product line. The InterCon-X series provides hardware and
software products and services for connecting and seamlessly
interoperating in small and large networks; InterSite site management
tools contribute system monitoring and control to the InterServe product
line to ensure smooth operation of small and large clusters of
workstations.

INTERGRAPH'S TOTAL SOLUTIONS VENDOR APPROACH TO SERVING

Intergraph is a total solutions vendor. New InterServe Web servers join a
comprehensive suite of InterServe server products, including the
InterServe Symmetric Multiprocessor (ISMP) series of general compute,
file, and database servers and InterServe Desktop Publishing (DTP) servers
for document storage and management. Like InterServe Web servers,
InterServe SMP and DTP servers feature powerful Pentium Pro processors and
the Windows NT Server operating system.

Intergraph also supplies the expertise and support services needed to
install and maintain successful Information Technology (IT) enterprises.

"Unlike PC vendors who sell you the server and then leave you to wander
through complex server issues, Intergraph supports you with a complete
package of open InterServe hardware, software, and services -- basically
all you need for a successful IT enterprise: server installation, data
storage and backup, connectivity and interoperability in multivendor
networks, network problem monitoring, and network security and access
control. And Intergraph stands behind you 24 hours a day with worldwide
service and support," said Patterson.
