Amdahl Teams with Compuware to Provide Software Asset Management on Millennium MSF Servers.

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 1999--

Amdahl's Innovative Multiple Server Feature Allows Customers

Increased Flexibility in Managing Their Applications by

Creating Systems Within a System

Amdahl(R) Corporation today announced that Compuware Corporation, a leading provider of software and professional services, will support Amdahl's Multiple Server Feature(TM) (MSF) technology available on Amdahl Millennium(TM) servers.

This "split-to-fit" breakthrough, pioneered by Amdahl Corporation in 1998, establishes multiple servers, each with its own CPUID and serial number, within a single system.

MSF is the ideal solution for S/390 workload consolidation. Workloads can be placed on a discrete server according to application requirements. Software can be licensed to the discrete server and not based on the capacity of an entire system.

Operating and maintenance costs can be dramatically reduced by replacing multiple, expensive-to-maintain older ECL mainframes or consolidating small CMOS servers with one compact, low-maintenance CMOS footprint that consumes much less power. Compuware joins the growing list of software vendors who support MSF technology as a way to help customers manage their applications.

"Compuware is committed to providing flexible, value-oriented licensing and pricing options for our industry leading S/390 products," said Hank Jallos, executive vice president, Compuware Products Division. "Our support of MSF technology is representative of this commitment, allowing customers increased flexibility when considering capacity needs such as for new workload application growth and growth relating to the demands of e-commerce."

"Customers want to manage their software budget with greater precision and more closely match server capacity to the requirements of applications," said David West, vice president of Systems Marketing at Amdahl. "MSF can do that for customers and at the same time help them take control of change in today's volatile business environment."
