<p>For immediate release</p>
<p>4D, Inc. Ships 4D WebSTAR Server Suite V for Mac OS X</p>
<p>-- Unbelievably Fast, Easy as Always, and Secure Out of the Box --</p>
<p>SAN JOSE, Calif., October 9, 2001 -- 4D, Inc., publishers of the 4th<br />
Dimension RAD/RDBMS Environment and 4D WebSTAR Server Suite, today<br />
announced the immediate availability of 4D WebSTAR Server Suite V, now<br />
native for Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server.</p>
<p>With the ease-of-use people expect from WebSTAR, 4D WebSTAR Server Suite V<br />
has preset security settings, unprecedented performance and is available<br />
today, directly from 4D, Inc. at (<a href="http://www.webstar.com/" title="http://www.webstar.com/">http://www.webstar.com/</a>) for a much lower<br />
cost than ever before (see related release dated today).</p>
<p>"4D WebSTAR Server Suite V brings the industrial-strength Web server which<br />
has always been the traditional de facto standard on the previous Macintosh<br />
platform to the new Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server platforms," explained<br />
Brendan Coveney, president and CEO, 4D, Inc. "Now 4D WebSTAR V absolutely<br />
screams with speed, while maintaining an emphasis on security and ease of<br />
administration. Our groundbreaking new design also allows third-parties to<br />
build plug-ins for 4D WebSTAR V with unsurpassed ease, enabling rapid<br />
releases alongside our updates."</p>
<p>"Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server deliver the power of Unix with the simplicity<br />
of the Macintosh," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide<br />
Developer Relations. "4D WebSTAR V is another excellent example of<br />
developers taking advantage of advanced technology of Mac OS X and provides<br />
professional Mac webmasters with an easy-to-use solution that takes just<br />
minutes to deploy, yet is faster than ever."</p>
<p>Fast, Easy, Secure Web Serving<br />
4D WebSTAR Server Suite V is completely redesigned to take advantage of the<br />
benefits of Mac OS X's multiprocessor support, preemptive multitasking and<br />
faster networking, which result in amazing server speeds. Beyond<br />
multi-thread processes, a redesign of the caching architecture makes all<br />
server modules radically faster.</p>
<p>Continuing with a tradition of ease-of-use, 4D WebSTAR Server Suite V is<br />
now even easier to administer than ever. Now, Administrators can delegate<br />
administrative authority to virtual hosts quickly and easily with reusable<br />
settings for realms including allow/deny security access, without<br />
compromising administration integrity or security of the entire system.<br />
Remote administration is now more flexible than ever, and secure via SSL. A<br />
wide range of logging options provides even easier server monitoring.</p>
<p>Security is preset out of the box with secure default settings, easily<br />
configured SSL for encrypted traffic, flexible access control with realm<br />
matching designed for HFS plus volumes, and MD5-digest authentication. 4D<br />
WebSTAR Server Suite V comes with a radically faster Search engine, an<br />
integrated FTP server and integrated WebDAV HTTP file service support.</p>
<p>Third-party Support<br />
"Blue World Lasso Web Data Engine has been the leading companion product to<br />
WebSTAR for several years, allowing developers to quickly and easily build<br />
powerful data-driven Web sites," said Bill Doerrfeld, CEO of Blue World<br />
Communications, Inc. "We're deeply committed to the WebSTAR community and<br />
plan to fully support 4D WebSTAR V in our forthcoming Lasso Professional 5<br />
product. Lasso Professional 5 and 4D WebSTAR V on Mac OS X will provide an<br />
excellent combo for powerful yet easy Web database publishing."</p>
<p>4D WebSTAR V now includes an expanded SDK with more sample code, utility<br />
functions, and APIs which allow third-party developers to add their own<br />
interfaces to the WebSTAR Admin Client. Developing 4D WebSTAR V plug-ins is<br />
now simpler since the new Web server handles the low-level HTTP protocol<br />
issues, leaving the plug-in developer free to focus on functionality.</p>
<p>Completely New Pricing For Lower Overall Cost of Ownership 4D, Inc. is<br />
releasing 4D WebSTAR Server Suite V under a completely new pricing and code<br />
release structure to provide the user with frequent updates, quality<br />
support and a lower cost of ownership than ever before (see related release<br />
dated today). 4D WebSTAR Server Suite V is available today directly from<br />
(<a href="http://www.webstar.com/" title="http://www.webstar.com/">http://www.webstar.com/</a>) for an initial license fee of $399, which<br />
includes updates and support for one year, with additional support and<br />
updates provided for a membership rate of $179 per year in WebSTAR<br />
Community Central. Unrenewed licenses will not expire, however they also<br />
will not accept important updates from 4D, Inc. or third-party vendors.</p>
<p>New licenses of 4D WebSTAR V are offered to academic institutions for an<br />
educational price of $299, with upgrades at the same price for the general<br />
public. Upgrades are available at $199 for current registered users of<br />
WebSTAR v4.x, and $299 for current registered users of WebSTAR v3.x.<br />
Cross-grades are available by calling the sales department at 4D, Inc. All<br />
upgrades and cross-grades come with one year of support and software<br />
updates, which is renewable after the first year for a $179/year membership<br />
in WebSTAR Community Central.</p>
