Demand for Affordable Mainframe Solutions Results in T3 Technologies' 150th tServer Installation; Low-End sub-60 MIPS Mainframe Solutions Deliver Cost-Savings and Performance.Business/High-Tech Editors TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 17, 2002 T3 Technologies, which follows IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) as the second largest mainframe integrator in the U.S., announced today the 150th successful installation of its tServer products worldwide. The company attributes the achievement of this milestone to the demand for low-end, sub-60 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. mainframes as companies seek a cost-effective solution to maintain the performance, security, stability and scalability of their mainframe environment, while preserving the legacy code and historical data that would be lost in a migration to a distributed computing environment See DCE. Distributed Computing Environment - (DCE) An architecture consisting of standard programming interfaces, conventions and server functionalities (e.g. naming, distributed file system, remote procedure call) for distributing applications transparently across networks . International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates that 70% of all business data is currently stored in S/390 mainframes. Many companies ranging in size from 100 million to 1 billion in annual revenue are finding themselves caught between the need to "right-size" and cost-justify their computing environment and the charter to preserve the business value of their legacy applications and data. Demand for a low MIPS, cost-justifiable mainframe environment has driven sales for T3's tServer product line, which provides an affordable solution available in 8, 18, and 29 MIPS. Units with up to 75 MIPS of processing capability are currently under development for release later this year. The tServer products combine a low-cost IBM Intel-based hardware platform with Fundamental Software's FLEX-ES, IBM's VSE/ESA VSE/ESA Virtual Storage Extended / Enterprise System Architecture , z/OS, OS/390, z/VM, VM/ESA VM/ESA - Virtual Machine and T3's award-winning services integration and support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services . "Imperial Sugar is emerging from a difficult period. Like most manufacturers today, we are continually looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.

"T3's tServer supports these objectives, and has proven its ability to handle a large number of users and transactions efficiently." T3 Technologies is an IBM Premier Business Partner, and has built its business around supporting the IBM S/390 community. Since 1994, T3 has been a leader in providing IBM's small-middle sized mainframe systems, including the Multiprise and z800 product families. T3 attributes much of its growth to the strength of the IBM S/390 environment and the desire of smaller mainframe customers to preserve their investment and stay with IBM hardware. As their needs grow, these companies can graduate to IBM systems with more processing power. "We are committed to helping companies find the best IBM-based solution for their needs. The tServer products emerged to give companies needing less processing power an affordable option to stay on the mainframe," said Steven Friedman, President of T3 Technologies. "The demand for the tServer products has exceeded our expectations, resulting in accelerated growth and our current position as the second largest IBM-compatible mainframe A non-IBM mainframe that runs IBM mainframe operating systems and/or applications. In the late 1960s, RCA's computer division produced the Spectra 70, the first line of machines compatible with IBM's System/360. integrator in the U.S." For more information about T3 Technologies and their tServer products, please call 1-800-871-9500, or visit them on the web at www.t3t.com.
