ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 24, 2001

'Plug and Play' Solution Uniquely Positions Company for

Rapid Technology Deployment

Concurrent Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:CCUR), Real-Time Division, today announced multiple sales of its model 3200-2000 next generation computer systems to four large customers. The first shipments of the 3200-2000 began in December 2000, and Concurrent continues to affirm its market lead by shipping an additional 33 systems, generating over $2 million in revenue. These boards have been sold for independent uses to four separate organizations, including DFS GmbH for air traffic control in Germany; FlightSafety International for existing flight simulators worldwide; the State of Illinois Department of Human Services for management of health and welfare services for Illinois; and CAE Inc. for the U.S. Army's Apache Combat Mission Simulator upgrade program.

With a current installed base of over two thousand Model 3200 legacy systems around the world, the market potential for 3200-2000 upgrades is significant for Concurrent. The model 3200-2000 features improved computational speed, microsecond interrupt handling, high system I/O throughput, and extensive system connectivity. The 3200-2000 provides the response needed in today's time-critical, high-availability application environments and is a cost-effective investment for Concurrent customers.

DFS GmbH

Germany's DFS GmbH, a government-owned company that completely controls Germany's air traffic, has purchased eight 3200-2000 computer system upgrades. With the new generation computer boards, DFS GmbH will manage air traffic control, establish flight plans, and use the 3200 in the planning, building, and operation of technical devices and radio navigation systems. German air traffic is one of the busiest in the world, and with Concurrent's new 3200, the company is building on an already successful 12-year relationship with DFS GmbH. The new boards provide even higher performance and efficiency, as well as security enhancement and a minimized risk in performance.

FlightSafety International

FlightSafety International (FSI) has purchased ten 3200-2000 processor upgrades for use in its existing training simulators located around the world. FSI has approximately 100 installed simulators, which are powered by 3200 processors. The first 3200-2000 processor upgrade was recently installed in Savannah, Ga. in a Gulfstream II simulator. A Concurrent customer since the early 1980s, FSI looked to Concurrent to once again provide the most technologically advanced computer system to effectively upgrade its existing simulators for an unmatched real-time training environment.

FSI required an upgrade path that would protect its investment in application software while also providing the additional performance required to keep its simulators in step with ever-changing aircraft. As aircraft manufacturers such as Beechcraft and Gulfstream enhance an aircraft, FSI must also modify its simulator features to provide a real-time training environment. In this case, Concurrent's 3200-2000 required no changes to the customer's application software; the single-board technology allowed the customer to reduce the footprint of the system, spares, and power and cooling requirements, while providing improved product reliability and performance.

State of Illinois Department of Human Services

Another long-term Concurrent customer, the State of Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), has purchased eleven 3200-2000 processor upgrades. IDHS provides cash assistance, food stamps, employment programs, childcare and various other social service programs throughout the state of Illinois. Concurrent and the State of Illinois have been working together since the early 1980s. Existing 3200 systems located throughout the state are used in the interview and intake process for family case management and other health related service and prevention programs. With the need for health and family services constantly increasing, DHS was looking for a way to upgrade its existing 3200 system while protecting its investment in proven application software. Concurrent's 3200-2000 provides an immediate "plug and play" hardware performance solution.

CAE Inc. U.S. Army Apache Combat Mission Simulator

CAE has made an initial purchase of five 3200-2000 processor upgrades for use in the U.S. Army's AH-64 Apache Combat Mission Simulator. The Apache simulator has been powered by Concurrent's O/S32 systems since the mid 1980s. The new 3200-2000 processor upgrade will provide the Army with enhanced features to power the mission-critical simulation application identical to the Apache helicopter. CAE selected the Concurrent 3200-2000 to provide increased performance, protect the investment in proven application software, and ensure time to market with minimal risk.

The U.S. Army's Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) awarded the upgrade program to the TRW/CAE team in May, and CAE has been working with Concurrent to provide a 3200-2000 implementation schedule.

Model 3200-2000 Processor

This next generation 3200 offers up to five times the application computational performance of a Series 3200 Model 3280 processor. In addition, all system memory, floating point and DMA bus interfaces are provided directly on the 3200-2000 processor module, reducing maintenance costs by offering key Series 3200 functionality on a single 17" board. The single-board engine features an industry-standard Motorola PowerPC(TM) processor with Flash-stored software and includes a 233 MHz, 350 MHz or 450 MHz PowerPC 750 processor; 64, or 128, MB of ECC memory; CDS/Console interface; one MUX bus interface; and up to three DMA bus interfaces. The single board processor will also feature, as options, 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connection and an Ultra2 SCSI interface.

According to Don Bauer, vice president, North American Sales and Service, "The 3200-2000 upgrade provides a risk-free solution for our customers that want to protect their investment in proven application software and custom hardware without limiting their performance capabilities."

The Model 3200-2000 is fully compatible with the I/O subsystems of installed Series 3200 systems and is available as a complete computer system or as a processor board upgrade to previous Series 3200 systems. The system includes a chassis, a power subsystem with battery backup, cooling, multiperipheral controller, a console device, and system documentation. The processor fully supports the standard Concurrent OS/32 operating system (revision 8.3 and above), all OS/32 utilities, and all Series 3200 diagnostics, as well as all Series 3200 language, data management, and data communications software.
