Wiresoft.net and ARTEC Computer GmbH Team To Deliver the Industry's First All-In-One, Self-Managing Server Software to the European Small Business Market

Karben, Germany - October 24, 2003 - Wiresoft.net, a world innovator in server systems and remote management, and ARTEC Computer GmbH, today announced the introduction of Firegate® and ANA, the first all-in-one, self-managing server OS platform and the first Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) management service, to the national small and mid size business market. Designed to deliver Linux and Open Source Software to the masses, Firegate's easy-to-use interface and ANA's intelligent management services work together to provide small business with the most stable and secure server software available without the burden of expensive IT staff or services.

Firegate provides an all-in-one, easy-to-use office server suite that is automatically managed by an intelligent, self-learning software service named ANA (short for Automated Network Agent). Firegate, enabled by ANA, is the first self-managing server OS platform on the market. Firegate and ANA promise to bring about a radical improvement in server management efficiency by providing a superior, self-managing server platform that is inexpensive to deploy and maintain. Together, ANA and Firegate significantly lower software purchase, integration and maintenance costs while providing a secure and stable small business server platform.

"This partnership represents the European launch of Wiresoft.net intelligent server technology and we are very pleased to have such a strong partner for this effort. Few European Distributors can compare to ARTEC Computer in real world experience and know-how, and we expect to achieve a lot together," stated Don Britton, Wiresoft.net Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales.
