AT&T GIS announces new LAN consolidation program

June 14, 1995 -- DAYTON, Ohio -- AT&T's computer unit has announced a new
LAN Consolidation Program that helps companies reduce costs and simplify
LAN operations. The program migrates network resources to a Microsoft
Windows NT Server LAN environment on AT&T's symmetrical multiprocessing
(SMP) servers. AT&T Global Information Solutions' program allows reseller
partners to provide their customers with a complete suite of consulting,
implementation and support services that ensures a quick and smooth
migration from first generation LANs to a consolidated, enterprise-wide
LAN environment.

Customers can choose from services including: operating system evaluation,
network design, project management, installation and setup, LAN migration
to Windows NT, Windows NT education, software support and hardware
maintenance. By using AT&T's program, corporations can increase the
quality of service provided on a LAN as well as increase the number of
users supported on the system, by consolidating network resources of
file-print servers to larger and more robust SMP servers.

"Today, less is more," said Rob Howe, AT&T GIS vice president, Worldwide PC
Marketing. "By moving files and applications from many single-purpose
servers to a few more powerful, scalable multiprocessor machines, such as
the AT&T Globalyst S40 PC server running Microsoft Windows NT Server,
corporations will be able to cut their cost of LAN ownership."

Migrating to Windows NT Server 3.5 provides a single easy-to-use operating
environment designed to support high-performance file/print applications
as well as client/server applications.

"AT&T's program to migrate LANs to a Windows NT Server solution helps
customers prepare their companies for the future by giving them both a
hardware and software foundation that will grow with their business
requirements," said Robert McDowell, vice president, enterprise customer
unit at Microsoft Corp. "AT&T is the right company to help with
consolidation because it knows how to provide the right mix of expertise,
products, people and services to deliver business critical solutions that
meet the stringent requirements of IT environments."

The new Globalyst S40 server is an ideal platform for the LAN Consolidation
Program. It features multiple Intel Pentium processors for faster network
response and includes sophisticated network management tools that ensure
high availability of mission-critical information. In addition, because
the Globalyst S40 PC server is a scalable platform, customers can add
processors to meet increasing system demands.

The LAN Consolidation Program is available through AT&T GIS'
customer-focused teams and value-added reseller partners.

"Networking has always been a strategic technology for resellers," said
Curt Fisher, vice president, Worldwide Partnership Marketing, AT&T GIS.
"Resellers are particularly well-positioned to take advantage of the SMP
market growth. The complexity of the SMP equation means there's plenty of
opportunity to add value with the products and services that we offer
through our flexible program."

AT&T Global Information Solutions, manufacturer of the award-winning
Globalyst PC family that ranges from laptops to PC servers, is leading the
world to PC&C. AT&T Global Information Solutions helps its customers
better understand and serve their customers by more effectively getting,
moving and using information.
