Trustix expands XPloy functionality
XPloy from Trustix redefines Linux systems management

Trondheim, Norway, - January 31st, 2001 - Trustix AS, a leading
Internet infrastructure software company providing Internet software
for management of systems, software, security and information, today
announced the release of several new XPloy modules expanding the XPloy
functionality matrix.

Trustix XPloy, first launched in June 2000, is a fully graphical and
easy-to-use Linux administration tool that reduces the effort and
costs of implementing and managing Linux networks.

Trustix XPloy enables secure, remote and visualized management of
Linux server resources from one single point. The modular architecture
makes for a tailor-made solution for the customer, this combined with
XPloy's scalability and the XPloy's subscription model, truly defines
a new standard for flexibility. XPloy runs on the leading Linux
distributions, Trustix Secure Linux included.

With this release Trustix launches several new modules giving XPloy a
more complete functionality matrix, whilst maintaining the easy to use
GUI. Amongst the new modules are: Mail Administration, DNS
administration (BIND), DHCP Administration, Web Proxy Administration,
NIS Administration, FTP Administration, Host Configuration, NFS
Administration, Firewall Administration, Database Administration,
Network Resource Inventory, and Systems Operations Monitor.

Trustix XPloy will significantly benefit ASPs, ISPs, hosting
companies, systems integrators and network administrators with a need
to manage multiple Linux servers. XPloy's scalability makes the
solution suited to the needs of small companies as well as larger
enterprises.

"XPloy has redefined Linux systems management, and Trustix has no
plans to stop here", says Havard Wollan, President and CEO of
Trustix. "This is the eBusiness Systems Management Solution for the
future. We will continue to rapidly expand the functionality of XPloy,
making Linux work everywhere", he continues.

Trustix XPloy also comes with a Software Development Kit (SDK). "The
SDK is important for both Trustix and our business partners, because
it allows our partners to do XPloy integration of their own
solutions. XPloy then extends and become capable of managing our
partners' applications on Linux, anywhere and anytime" says Havard
Wollan. "Today, the emphasis is on functionality for Linux server
management, but tomorrow this will expand to management of Linux on
other computing devices in the embedded and wireless areas" he
continues.
