Informix database for SAP R/3 available for the first time under Windows NT
on Primergy servers from Siemens Nixdorf

May 8, 1996

MUNICH/PADERBORN/WALLDORF. INFORMIX SOFTWARE GMBH, ISMANING NEAR MUNICH,
SAP AG, WALLDORF, AND THE LOB 'OPEN ENTERPRISE COMPUTING' AT SIEMENS
NIXDORF INFORMATIONSSYSTEME AG, PADERBORN, ARE ONCE AGAIN WORKING IN CLOSE
COOPERATION. THEY ARE JOINTLY PREPARING TO MAKE SAP R/3, RELEASE 3.0, IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE INFORMIX ONLINE DYNAMIC SERVER, AVAILABLE FOR THE
WINDOWS NT SERVER 3.51 OPERATING SYSTEM ON INTEL-BASED PRIMERGY SERVERS
FROM SIEMENS NIXDORF. THE PRODUCT COMBINATION WILL BE AVAILABLE AT SIEMENS
NIXDORF BY THE THIRD QUARTER OF 1996.

The past 18 months brought a significant increase worldwide in the number
of R/3 installations running under the Windows NT operating system. In
line with this market trend, Informix - in collaboration with SAP - is
porting the commercial application R/3 to the database environment of its
own OnLine Dynamic Server within the scope of Windows NT. The system
platform to be used initially is the Pentium-based server PCE-5Smp from
Siemens Nixdorf. Support for the Primergy 560/760 models is in planning.
Certification will be carried out by an independent body named and
commissioned by SAP.

R/3 users who have opted for Informix will, in future, be able to choose
between Mips-/Unix- or Intel-/Windows NT platforms. Siemens Nixdorf thus
has a wide range to offer for using R/3 applications, starting with the
inexpensive Primergy systems under Windows NT through to the high-end RM
servers under Unix to support a large number of users.
