Business Editors, High-Tech Writers

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 2000

Concurrent Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:CCUR) announced today, at its worldwide Real-Time User Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL, that it will offer a suite of system solutions and software development tools based on the Linux operating system.

Concurrent will offer a Linux version of its highly acclaimed NightStar(TM) Development Tools and its high-performance C/C++, FORTRAN, and Ada compilers.

This offering will provide Concurrent's customers the opportunity to develop and debug complex multiprocessing applications in Concurrent's integrated software development environment while taking advantage of the Linux operating system and the inherent advantages that this open system environment offers. Developers will now have the option to run their real-time multiprocessing applications using Concurrent's real-time operating system, PowerMAX OS(TM), or run their open systems real-time applications using the Linux operating system

-- all developed, designed, and tested using the same comprehensive suite of NightStar Development Tools.

In addition, Concurrent's next generation Power Hawk(TM) integrated real-time computer system will be available with either PowerMAX OS or Linux operating systems. Developers will be able to satisfy their demanding real-time requirements by selecting an appropriate CPU architecture and the desired operating system. The new Power Hawk system will allow the developer to select any number of CPUs (up to 32), either the PowerMAX OS or the Linux operating system, or a mix of both in a single VME chassis.

Major customer request and the recent acceptance of Linux as a viable alternative to the UNIX(R) and Windows NT(R) operating systems were dominant factors in Concurrent's decision to introduce this new operating system and offer it to its customer base. According to Dan Dunleavy, President, Concurrent Real-Time Systems, &uot;Concurrent recognizes that our customers are very interested in having the flexibility of using the Linux operating system for solving their real-time needs. Since we are in the customer solutions business, we'll offer both PowerMAX OS and Linux for applications requiring real-time performance.&uot;

Steve Nussrallah, President and Chief Executive Officer of Concurrent, added, &uot;Concurrent has always maintained a commitment to its customers to stay on the leading-edge of technology. With the addition of the Linux offering, we will continue to provide the best and broadest real-time solutions available in the marketplace.&uot;
