XINIT Systems release next-generation 1U servers.

                   This is one highly integrated and technology-packed
server. With the optional RAID controller, the 1170 is the perfect
                   tool to handle a highly-trafficked edge service or a
middle-tier application server.



                   (London, UK. 2001-05-20)---XINIT Systems announce
availability of next-generation 1U rackmount GNU/Linux
                   servers. As a leading provider of Linux systems in the UK,
the new servers represent a natural progression of
                   products for the company. The WebLoad 1125 is a 1U
rackmount dual-processor capable server. The 1125
                   has support for up to 4GB of ECC synchronous DRAM, a must
for todays highly demanding Internet serving
                   applications and environments, as well as built-in RAID
capability. The distinctive feature of the 1125's
                   embedded RAID controller is that it is ATA-based rather
than the more common SCSI-based RAID controllers.
                   This feature reduces the overall cost of the system,
compared to a SCSI RAID solution, while still providing
                   similar levels of performance and reliability - such as
hot-swap functionality of system drives. The 1125
                   supports RAID-0 for maximum I/O performance or RAID-1 for
maximum data reliability. 

                   The WebLoad 1170, another new 1U server from XINIT
Systems, replaces the 1150 as our high-end 1U
                   offering. The 1170, built around the ServerSet 3.0 LE
chipset from ServerWorks, provides support for dual
                   Intel Pentium III processors at up to 1.0GHz, up to 4GB of
high performance PC133 ECC DRAM and up to
                   three hot-swappable SCSI hard disks. Dual embedded network
interfaces provide system connectivity for the
                   1170. "This is one highly integrated and technology-packed
server. With the optional RAID controller, the
                   1170 is the perfect tool to handle a highly-trafficked
edge service or a middle-tier application server," said
                   Rafiu Fakunle, XINIT Systems' CTO. The 1170 also has
integrated CD-ROM and floppy devices in addition to
                   the three hard drive bays. 

                   The 1125 and 1170 are available with either SuSE Linux 7.1
or RedHat Linux 7.1. Pricing starts at GBP 1216
                   and GBP 1418 for the 1125 and 1170 respectively. For more
