ROSLYN, NEW YORK, June 8, 1992 - - - Cheyenne Software, Inc. (AMEX:CYE), creators of ARCserve, announced today that the company is the first to develop and market a single NctWare storage management application that incorporates the benefits of SMS (Storage Management Services) while maintaining Cheyenne's existing approach to comprehensive storage management and backup. Cheyenne is the only vendor currendy offering one application to provide backup and restore services for: NetWare 2.x, 3.x, and Portable NetWare servers; DOS, Windows, Macintosh, Unix, and OS/2 clients; all name space support provided with NetWare 3.11 including Macintosh, DOS, NFS, OS/2, and FTAM. Recently named a Novell Co-Devdoper, Cheyenne also reported that an optional software module for ARCserve v4.0, that complics with Novell's SMS specifications, is now available to ARCserve 4.0 users. SMS defines a standard method for backup products to interact with NetWare. This software module will insulate ARCserve users from changes made by Novell in future releases of the NetWare file system. In addition, Cheyenne announced that ARCserve v4.0 has received certification and has been tested and approved NetWare compatible as a Backup System with NetWare v2.2 and v3. 11. SMS was developed by Novell to provide an opn, standardized architecture that can be employed by third party software developers, such as Cheyenne, that will easily facilitate the process of updating backup applications when Novell releases new versions of NetWare 3.x. In making the announcement Jim McNiel, Vice President of Business Development for Cheyenne, stated, "SMS has provided Cheyenne with the final element needed to solidify ARCserve's ability to provide complete backup and restore services in a heterogeneous networking environment. Using ARCseNe, a NetWare administrator needs to purchase only one backup software product and one tape, jukebox or optical drive, to obtain automated backup and restore services for virtually all computers connected to the NetWare LAN." Robert Young, Director of Marketing, NetWare Systems Group, noted, "We are very pleased to continue our working relationship with Cheyenne. Novell's goal with SMS is to simplify the network environment for end-users, especially in the area of backup and restoration of information. Active participation by leading software developrs, such as Cheyenne, is welcome and vital to the success of SMS on an industry-wide basis." Cheyenne is shipping the optional SMS compliant software module directly to registered users, at a U.S. Iist cost of $ 100.00. In addition to ARCserve's inherent ability to backup DOS and Macintosh name spaces on a 3.11 file server, this software option will enable ARCserve users to backup and restore HPFS, FTAM and NFS name spaces. Cheyenne recently expanded the capabilities of ARCserve for NetWare 3.1x to include backup and restoration of SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 and Macintosh workstations on the network. The company now offers Agent Options for Unix and Macintosh workstations to ARCserve users, rounding out ARCserve's support for all major operating systems -available in the PC marketplace. These Agents are available as separate optional packages at a U.S. list cost of $495.00 each per server. ARCserve also currently includes support for DOS, OS/2 and Windows client workstations.
