ZENITH DATA SYSTEMS BUNDLES NETSCAPE FASTTRACK SERVER SOFTWARE TO DELIVER
LOWCOST WORLD WIDE WEB SERVERS FOR WINDOWS NT

NEW Z-SERVER WG WORLD WIDE WEB SERVER LETS COMPANIES QUICKLY BUILD
EASY-TO-USE INTERNET AND INTRANET SITES

BILLERICA, Mass. (April 30, 1996) -- Zenith Data Systems (ZDS) today made
it easier and less expensive to create a World Wide Web site by unveiling
a low-cost, entry-level Web Server bundle based on its Z-SERVER WG
workgroup server and Netscape FastTrack Server software for Windows NT.

The Netscape FastTrack Server bundling is the latest step in ZDS's strategy
to give customers a wide choice in Web server software platforms and price
points, following the recent bundling announcement of Microsoft's Internet
Information Server (IIS) with ZDS's award-winning Z-SERVER MX departmental
servers.

The new Z-SERVER WG WWW Server is an economical turnkey solution that
delivers all the hardware and software needed to set up, manage, and
publish rich hypermedia information on both the Internet and corporate
intranets. It bundles the high performance of Netscape FastTrack Server
with the ease-of-use and management flexibility of Microsoft Windows NT on
ZDS' popular entry-level, Pentium-based workgroup server.

Netscape FastTrack Server is a high-performance, easy-to-use Web server
software solution with advanced capabilities such as secure sockets layer
(SSL 3.0) security features, and support for Java and JavaScript
programming languages for creating and managing live content.

"This solution makes it easy for small businesses, individuals and
workgroups to build their own Web sites without investing large amounts of
time or money in the project. As one of the first servers to support Java
and JavaScript, Netscape FastTrack Server software on Zenith Data System's
Z-SERVER WG servers provides users with the platform to set up their own
Internet and intranet Web sites and create and publish live content
inexpensively and easily," said Atri Chatterjee, director of server
marketing at Netscape.

For example, the Z-SERVER WG WWW Server bundle can be an ideal low-cost
marketing resource. Companies can post information such as product
literature and demos, corporate news bulletins, and customer support and
service information. They can also collect customer input, conduct market
research and fulfill requests for information using the interactive forms
processing capability.

The server bundle also enables companies to publish information on an
intranet for interdepartmental data sharing. Research and development
groups can use the server to keep others abreast of new product
development efforts, marketing groups can publish their latest product
plans and presentations, and human resources departments can quickly
disseminate policies and procedures throughout the organization.

"ZDS now offers customers Internet access solutions at every price level.
Bundling Netscape FastTrack Server software with the Z-SERVER WG Server
provides an economical way for companies to distribute and collect
valuable market and customer information for making better business
decisions," said John O'Keefe, executive vice president of ZDS's Server
and Networks Business Unit.
