Intel Lowers Cost of Business Computing with New LANDesk Management Suite
v2.5

Windows NT and Internet Capabilities Expand Intel Architecture Management
Solution

HILLSBORO, Ore., April 22, 1996 - Intel Corporation today announced new and
enhanced management capabilities in the new LANDesk Management Suite v2.5
that reduce the PC support costs found in business computing. New
features--including support for Windows NT environments and for management
over the Internet--provide greater control and increased user uptime for
Intel architecture-based PC networks.

"Intel is delivering on two commitments: making the Intel architecture easy
to manage, and lowering the costs of business computing," said Ed Ekstrom,
general manager of Intel's Network Products Division. "The new LANDesk
Management Suite v2.5 is a robust, full-featured solution for managing
clients and servers over the network, and it helps customers realize the
full benefits of systems based on Pentium" Pro and Pentium processors."

For customers who are adding Windows NT-based systems in their enterprises,
LANDesk Management Suite v2.5 provides powerful tools to help manage those
transitions. The new product provides an integrated suite of critical
management applications that support blended NetWare and Windows NT
servers and their clients, saving administration time and increasing user
productivity.

A New Bottom Line for Business Computing

Intel introduced the award-winning, full-featured LANDesk Management Suite
v2.0 as the first integrated desktop management suite designed for Novell
NetWare-based PC LANs in January 1995. The LANDesk Management Group of
products leads the LAN management market segment with 35 percent share for
1995, according to International Data Corporation. With the release of
LANDesk Management Suite v2.5, Intel is adding Windows NT support to
enable centralized control of the multiple network operating system (NOS)
environments found in business computing today.

LANDesk Management Suite v2.5 offers integrated multi-NOS management to
DOS, Windows 3.x and Windows 95 workstations that log into both NetWare
and Windows NT, enabling customers to control a multi-NOS LAN from one
central console. The software can dynamically discover and manage the
complete range of Microsoft network devices and Windows NT domains. In
addition, LAN administrators can also now conduct inventory and remote
control operations on IBM OS/2 workstations.

The new LANDesk Management Suite v2.5 includes upgrades of key v2.0
applications including remote control and inventory, software
distribution, server monitoring, metering, centralized alerting, print
management, and DMI management.

Advanced Management Features for Internet, Intranets and DMI

LANDesk Management Suite v2.5 enables LAN administrators to employ the
Internet and intranets for major management tasks today, increasing their
flexibility and access to clients. By supporting Internet TCP/IP, key
LANDesk applications such as remote control, inventory and software
distribution can be used over the Internet through use of
WINSOCK-compatible IP (v1.1 or higher).  With this capability, for
example, virtually any web-enabled intranet client can be remotely
accessed and inventoried and can receive software distributions from
LANDesk Management Suite.

LANDesk Management Suite v2.5 also allows LAN administrators to take better
advantage of products supporting the Desktop Management Interface (DMI).
The software makes it possible to filter DMI indications to the LANDesk
Alert Management System (AMS), which in turn executes the appropriate
corrective action or notification. With this new feature, AMS allows
customers to proactively manage even more aspects of the network,
minimizing crisis situations and maximizing network uptime.

Pricing and Availability

Available immediately, the LANDesk Management Suite v2.5 core system
including a five-node license is priced at $750 (U.S. suggested list).
Additional node licenses are:  $1,000 for a 10-node license, $6,250 for a

Server, Tivoli TME, and Hewlett-Packard OpenView. An additional 10-percent

customers using Novell's ManageWise who purchase LANDesk Management Suite
v2.5 to complement ManageWise in their enterprises. ManageWise was
