Cybex Computer Products Corporation Recognized by IDC as a Dominant Player in KVM Switch Market; Growth in Server Market Parallels Explosive Growth of Cybex.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 1, 1999--

Cybex Computer Products Corporation, (NASDAQ: CBXC) the world's leading supplier of KVM switches, remote access and extension products for data centers of all sizes, is recognized in a forthcoming report from International Data Corporation (IDC) as one of two companies who control more than 50 percent of the KVM switch market. Keyboard, video, monitor (KVM) switches allow users to manage and operate more than one server from a single keyboard, mouse and video display.

According to IDC's report, "the market for KVM switch devices is expected to increase dramatically as space and management control of the server becomes more of an issue to IS administrators." The entry server space is forecasted to grow from three million units in 1999 to over five million units in 2003.

In parallel to the growth of the server market, Cybex has demonstrated sustained gross margins of 40 percent growth over the last 18 consecutive quarters. It recently announced fiscal year 1998 earnings of $82.2 million, a 56 percent increase from the previous year.

"Cybex appears to be well positioned," said Lloyd Cohen, director of worldwide market analysis for IDC. "Innovative products and moderate barriers to entry for their competition should allow them to continue a leading role in this unique segment of the I/T industry."

IDC expects end-users such as ISPs, corporate data centers and server farm administrators will likely represent the largest potential pool for such devices.

"As this report indicates, there are opportunities in data centers of all sizes," said Gary Johnson, senior vice president of Cybex sales and marketing. "Our recent new product introductions in our KVM switch, extension and remote access categories are further evidence of our continued investment in R& D. What differentiates Cybex is our global presence. With established headquarters and channel partners throughout the world, we have the customer service teams and infrastructure in place to support market demands throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas."
