AMDAHL CORPORATION BRINGS ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS TO THE DESKTOP

Enterprise Information Solutions Group Will Use Huron ObjectStar 3.0 To
Deliver Integrated Mainframe-To-Desktop Applications

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (October 10, 1995) -- Amdahl Corporation has
significantly strengthened its applications development offerings by
making available to the marketplace Huron ObjectStar 3.0, Antares Alliance
Group's newly announced applications development software environment.
With this new software, Amdahl is the first enterprise solutions vendor to
offer true, integrated, mainframe-to-desktop client/server capability with
the robustness required for mission-critical enterprise applications.
Using ObjectStar 3.0, organizations can achieve the business benefits of
client/server faster, with less risk, and without having to discard
investments in mainframe assets, or in applications built with low-end
tools.

Amdahl's Enterprise Information Solutions (EIS) division, a marketplace
leader in ObjectStar solutions since 1991, combines traditional Amdahl
large-systems expertise with the powerful ObjectStar environment to help
customers deliver new and updated applications to achieve business goals.
The latest ObjectStar release enables developers to easily add new
functionality and integrate a Windows environment with existing
applications; the ObjectStar applications can then be distributed across
multiple platforms. To fully support enterprise client/server, ObjectStar
extends mission-critical integrity, security and performance -- attributes
normally reserved for mainframe applications -- across mainframe, midrange
and desktop platforms.

"The combination of large systems rapid applications development and
client/server deployment is very powerful, and will help our customers
create and maintain a competitive edge," said Steve Coggins, vice
president and general manager of EIS Worldwide Operations. "Consequently,
we expect ObjectStar 3.0 to significantly enhance our growing applications
development business. Amdahl is committed to this marketplace and we
intend to remain a major player for a long time."

ABOUT OBJECTSTAR 3.0

ObjectStar is based on a three-tiered client/server approach, which is
rapidly becoming the architecture of choice for enterprise computing. This
architecture maximizes flexibility in application topology, while allowing
for the data access and transaction integrity critical to enterprise-wide
applications.

ObjectStar 3.0 also features a new Open Transaction Server that provides
connectivity to applications developed with desktop tools. Until now,
deployment of popular low-end desktop applications development tools has
stopped at the server. Therefore, anyone building a flexible, three-tiered
client/server environment using mainframe resources has had to link a
multitude of different technologies, then figure out how to make them all
work together. ObjectStar, on the other hand, provides all the important
middleware needed to implement three- tier computing for high-transaction
volumes and for applications supporting thousands of users. Furthermore,
the ObjectStar architecture enables developers to re-configure the tiers
easily and dynamically, resulting in a nimbleness much sought after in
today's business climate.

Huron ObjectStar is a product of the Antares Alliance Group, a joint
venture which is 80 percent owned by Amdahl and 20 percent by Electronic
Data Systems. The software operates across the whole enterprise, running
under Windows 3.1, Windows NT, UNIX (AIX/6000, Sun/Solaris, HP/UX), and
MVS/ESA environments.
