ISOCOR enhances N-PLEX Intranet/Internet server software with LDAP, Web-to-Directory Gateway and JAVA classes.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 1996--ISOCOR (NASDAQ:ICOR), a leading provider of backbone software solutions for electronic information exchange, Wednesday announced enhancements to its Intranet/Internet N-PLEX server software at the Electronic Messaging Association's (EMA) Solutions Summit.

N-PLEX 1.2 offers a state-of-the-art solution for managing electronic information exchange featuring LDAP Directory Services, Web-to-Directory Gateway (HTTP to LDAP/X.500), JAVA classes, enhanced management and an accounting option for both X.400 and SMTP messaging. The N-PLEX product was selected as the "Best New Internet Product" of 1996 at the EMA's annual conference earlier this year.

N-PLEX is designed for corporations, government agencies and telecommunications organizations including Internet service providers. The product's integrated applications include a robust Internet mail system, Internet Directory Server (LDAP), a high performance message store, a secure Web server and a centralized management center.

The server software natively supports SMTP/MIME, POP3, IMAP4, HTTP and X.400. Optional components include X.400 mail services, with gateway and message store to enable seamless message exchange between different Internet users and X.400 users (P1 and P7). N-PLEX is optimized for a scalable, multi-threaded Windows NT/Intel architecture, providing easy installation and customer support.

"These enhancements to ISOCOR's N-PLEX product demonstrate the company's continuing commitment to producing innovative, comprehensive solutions for managing Intranets and linking them to the Internet," noted William Wolfe, ISOCOR vice president of business development and marketing.

"N-PLEX now offers not only a managed Intranet solution set, but also the ability to build Internet applications through the JAVA classes as well as the ability to utilize LDAP for accessing directory services. These enhancements make N-PLEX a complete solution for managing and developing an organization's information exchange needs."

N-PLEX's flexible and modular design easily adapts to the network infrastructure of the customer. Additional servers, gateways, clients and software components can be added and updated as necessary. Application programmatic interfaces are available separately from ISOCOR to enhance N-PLEX's messaging and directory applications.

N-PLEX 1.2 is currently installed at a number of key customer sites and is expected to begin shipping in October. Two beta components of the N-PLEX product, the Internet Directory Server and the Web-to-Directory Gateway, are immediately available from the ISOCOR Web site (http://www.isocor.com).

N-PLEX 1.2 end-user, quantity-one pricing ranges from $4,500 to $125,000 based upon machine classes and options. A JAVA Application Development Kit is included at no charge. This kit also includes a sample JAVA applet for mail called Jmail.
