BANYAN SYSTEMS AND MICROAGE COMPUTER CENTERS
INK CHANNEL PARTNER AGREEMENT
MicroAge Joins Growing Ranks of Companies
Selling and Supporting Banyan Products in North America
WESTBORO, Mass., Nov. 12, 1991 -- Banyan Systems and MicroAge
Computer Centers, Inc., have entered into a channel partner
agreement which establishes MicroAge as a master reseller of
BanyanR products.
According to the agreement, MicroAge will market, sell, service,
and support Banyan products, including the VINES distributed
network operating system, through those North American franchisees,
affiliates, and company-owned centers which have individually
applied and qualified for authorization as Banyan resellers.
Application procedures and prerequisites are consistent with those
applied to all other Banyan resellers.
"MicroAge will be a tremendous partner to further enhance Banyan's
market penetration," said Greg Reyes, Banyan Vice President, North
American Field Operations and Corporate Support. "As new MicroAge
locations are authorized to sell Banyan products, they will surely
add value to Banyan's existing channel partner organization."

Reyes noted that for 15 years MicroAge has distinguished itself
providing consultative solutions for business information
management. The company was one of the first reseller
organizations to target specialized vertical markets and to develop
high-level expertise selling and supporting sophisticated
multi-user systems and networks. Consequently, MicroAge has
excellent credentials to sell Banyan products.
According to William C. Keiper, President, MicroAge Computer
Centers, Inc., "Banyan and MicroAge share similar views about where
networking is going, and how to get there. Banyan's expertise and
leadership in enterprise-wide networking have delivered a superior
product set with which we can effectively fulfill our customers'
information processing needs."
