<p>ExtremeZ-IP Ends Mac OS X - Windows """"""""Blind Spot""""""""<br />
Ensures Continued Access to Windows File Servers</p>
<p>Arlington, VA - July 13, 2001 - Group Logic, a leading vendor of network<br />
workflow software, announced today its ExtremeZ-IP product uniquely allows<br />
users of Apple's new Mac OS X to continue to use Windows NT and 2000 file<br />
servers easily.</p>
<p>Mac users are accustomed to using the Chooser to locate servers quickly and<br />
simply via the AppleTalk network protocol, but in OS X the Chooser is<br />
replaced by the Connect to Servers function, which uses TCP/IP only. As a<br />
result of this change, users of the new operating system find it difficult<br />
and even impossible to locate and connect to servers based on Microsoft's<br />
Services for Macintosh, a built-in component of the Windows NT and Windows<br />
2000 server operating systems. ExtremeZ-IP, Group Logic's file server<br />
product for mixed Macintosh and Windows networks, restores the network<br />
connections - and users' productivity.</p>
<p>""""""""When connecting to Windows servers not running ExtremeZ-IP, the OS X<br />
'Connect to Server' function fails to deliver the convenience and ease of<br />
use that the Chooser has provided for so many years,"""""""" observed T. Reid<br />
Lewis, president of Group Logic. He explained that with Windows NT, OS X<br />
users encounter 'blind spots' on their networks, because the system can no<br />
longer 'see' their file servers. With Windows 2000, connecting to the<br />
server requires OS X users to discover and enter the device's multi-part<br />
numerical network address (e.g., 209.183.196.2). """"""""This is the antithesis of<br />
ease of use,"""""""" Lewis noted. """"""""ExtremeZ-IP solves the OS X connectivity<br />
problems of both Windows NT and 2000, restoring the Macintosh user<br />
experience.""""""""</p>
<p>""""""""For the typical employee trying to use the network, tracking down and<br />
correctly entering an IP address is an unreasonable expectation - even more<br />
technically adept staff will find it to be time-consuming and error prone,""""""""<br />
stated Lewis, leading him to predict, """"""""This will be a significant support<br />
issue for organizations as they deploy OS X.""""""""</p>
<p>Group Logic's ExtremeZ-IP is file and print server software that uses the<br />
TCP/IP protocol to increase throughput as much as fivefold between<br />
Macintosh clients and Microsoft Windows servers. ExtremeZ-IP enhances<br />
native support for Macintosh communications on Windows NT Server and<br />
Workstation, as well as Windows 2000 Server and Professional. Users<br />
experience dramatic return on investment through increased productivity<br />
resulting from superior network performance.</p>
