FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Linux NetworX Launches ClusterWorX® 2.0 Cluster Management Software
Cluster Management Tools Provide Secure Remote System Access and Control

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, June 25, 2001 - Linux NetworX, a provider of powerful
and  easy-to-manage Linux cluster computing solutions, announces the launch
of its cluster management software ClusterWorX® 2.0. Linux NetworX first
developed and distributed cluster management software in 1997, and has
continued to add important features. The latest version of ClusterWorX
includes new features such as secure remote access, thorough system and
node monitoring and events, and easy administrator customization and
extensibility.  

"Our research group does not have dedicated IT support, and as such, it is
important that we do not spend excess time performing cluster
maintenance. ClusterWorX has been beneficial in this as it allows us to
quickly and easily perform routine maintenance such as rebooting, upgrading
or adding additional nodes," said Troy Farncombe, University of
Massachusetts Medical School. "The remote monitoring tools available allow
us to use the cluster in the most efficient manner possible as we are able
to view the current CPU load on each node simultaneously. We are quite
pleased with the utility of ClusterWorX thus far."

Linux clustering is a method of linking multiple computers, or compute
nodes, together to form a unified and more powerful system. Until now,
cluster management has been a barrier to the wider adoption of Linux
clustering. ClusterWorX allows administrators to control the cluster as a
single system, and provides secure remote monitoring and management
capabilities. Each Linux NetworX Evolocity(TM) cluster is integrated with
ClusterWorX, which is professionally supported by Linux NetworX.

"As clustering continues to move to the mainstream system management
becomes a top issue. By offering powerful and effortless management tools,
Linux NetworX will expand the market for our clustering solutions," said
Glen Lowry, president and CEO of Linux NetworX. "The availability of
cluster management tools, like ClusterWorX, means that you no longer have
to be an expert in Linux and clustering to take advantage of this industry
changing technology." 

ClusterWorX is integrated with a Linux NetworX hardware management tool
called ICE Box(TM), which is scheduled for official release in
Aug. 2001. The combination of ClusterWorX with ICE Box creates a very
reliable and easy-to-use management solution that doesn't rely on any
specific hardware platform for its functionality.

About ClusterWorX®
Linux NetworX has developed the most functionally advanced suite of cluster
tools of its kind, making cluster management simple for even the most
complex of systems.
ClusterWorX users can remotely monitor and control a cluster system, down
to the individual node. The flexible and scalable architecture of the
software allows users to add compute nodes as demands increase. ClusterWorX
is designed to be very easy to customize and extend to meet the
requirements of a customer's application. 
The software also employs an event engine, allowing users to set-up
automatic notification and system administration for a variety of
variables. For example, if processors rise above a specified temperature,
ClusterWorX can remotely alert the user of the problem, and can even power
down the node.

ClusterWorX Features 
o Visually-based monitoring of node groups or the entire cluster
o Plug-in support for user defined monitors and actions
o 3-tiered application - GUI, server, and agent
o Event engine handles automatic system administration
o Secure, remote access
o Complete node power monitoring
o Network monitoring
o Automatic administrator notification upon node failure
o Integrated disk cloning and image management
o Easy-to-use, customizable GUI
o Fully integrated with ICE Box
