BUFFALO GROVE, IL -- September 26, 1995 -- Zenith Data Systems announced
today quad processor support for its highly popular Z-SERVER MX server
platform as well as a higher speed 120MHz option for its dual processor
Z-SERVER WG server line. With these additional configuration options
customers can purchase servers ranging from single 75MHz to quad 100MHz
Pentium or dual 120MHz CPUs. "ZDS understands the customer's need for
value and hardware investment protection," said John O'Keefe, executive
vice president of Zenith Data Systems server and network products business
unit. "The Z-SERVER line of multiprocessor servers is an affordable way to
gradually implement true MP computing, with a clear and cost-effective
upgrade path."

Z-SERVER MX: Scalable, Flexible Server for Enterprise Computing Demands The
Z-SERVER MX is an affordable and flexible server platform for companies
looking to implement enterprise server and mission critical applications.
Its true, MPS 1.1 SMP architecture allows businesses to gradually expand
and upgrade their systems as computing demands increase. The Z-SERVER MX
is well suited to tasks ranging from heavy- duty file and print services
to multiprocessing-enabled communications and database applications. The
Z-SERVER MX can be purchased or field upgraded with the following
configuration options:

   Single, twin or quad 100MHz Pentium CPUs.  Up to six hot plug
   SCSI drives.

   RAID 0, 1 and 5 through optional Z-RAID controller.  ECC memory
   modules standard, up to 768MB total.

   Up to 1MB dedicated CPU cache.

Z-SERVER MX CPU UPGRADES AND CACHE

The CPU upgrade boards come with a full 1MB per CPU, allowing customers to
gain the highest possible performance from their existing systems. The MX
accommodates two twin 100MHz CPU boards, each CPU with 1MB dedicated cache
for a possible total of four CPUs with 4MB cache.

Z-SERVER MX FEATURES: True MPS 1.1 Support for One to Four Processors All
Z-SERVER MX servers feature high-availability, high performance and
industry standard features such as dual, Fast/Wide SCSI-2 channels on
board; 2 PCI, 4 EISA and 2 combo PCI/EISA bus slots; an LCD diagnostic
display; lockable chassis side panel and industry standard floppy, SVGA,
serial, parallel and mouse ports. The Z-SERVER MX is designed for
flexible, easy upgrades in memory, CPU and storage capacities, making it
an excellent value as an entry-level server with ample room to grow into a
high-performance, enterprise-wide system through incremental add-ons.
