Concurrent Computer wins multivendor system support contracts.

OCEANPORT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 1995--Concurrent Computer Corp. today announced the latest results of its initiative to provide services for customers with computer system equipment from multiple vendors.

Keebler Co., headquartered in Elmhurst, Ill., and the Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory, located at the Forestall Campus of Princeton University, Princeton, N.J., both recently selected Concurrent to provide service and support in their multivendor computer system environments. Both organizations use legacy Gould/Encore Systems, but now look to the real-time, open systems technical expertise and responsiveness for which Concurrent is widely known.

At Keebler Co., Concurrent is maintaining Gould/Encore systems at ten sites throughout the United States. The execution of critical applications in inventory control and payroll, as well as data transfer between Keebler plants and the corporate offices relies on these systems. Keebler Co. is a leading producer of cookies, crackers and snack foods.

This month, Concurrent began service at the Computer Center and Control Room of the Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), maintaining Gould/Encore automatic data processing equipment for scientific computations. The control room demands critical uptime requirements for its Gould/Encore systems and Sun Microsystems computers. PPPL chose Concurrent service and support because of the critical nature of the applications. According to PPPL, "These computer systems provide real-time instrumentation, device monitoring and control, data acquisition and graphics display in support of round-the-clock operation of the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR)."

PPPL conducts scientific computations in research, design, development and control of fusion systems. PPPL's current TFTR research program promises to provide the next generation of clean energy.
