STAMPEDE TECHNOLOGIES’ NEW TURBOGOLD RELEASE ENABLES COMPANIES TO KEEP PACE WITH INCREASING BUSINESS DEMANDS

TurboGold Helps Enterprises Maximize Their Investment in Lotus Notes and Domino

(DAYTON, Ohio-May 12, 2003)—Stampede Technologies, Inc., today announced the availability of a new TurboGold Enterprise Edition release, software that helps all companies reach the full potential of their Lotus Notes and Domino investment. TurboGold Enterprise Edition supports the most current Notes/Domino releases including 6.01 and boasts new features that improve data movement, data storage, data control and Web acceleration across the enterprise.

Bandwidth barriers and storage constraints represent an ever increasing challenge for today’s businesses. Industry analysts are forecasting continued expansion in the number of users, the volume of email traffic, and the scope and size of attachments, applications and databases. IT managers know the additional strain on bandwidth and storage will negatively affect their network performance. Executives at many Fortune 500 companies are already feeling the impact of this expansion on their bottom line.

“During 2003, economic pressures, tool proliferation and technology overlap will drive enterprises to optimize information, collaboration and learning infrastructures to reduce costs and promote reuse,” said Matt Cain, Senior Vice President of META Group. “This creates a significant need for solutions that boost network performance while maximizing the ROI of existing messaging and collaboration systems.”

To meet the needs of this evolving market, new enhancements have been added to each solution area of the TurboGold Enterprise Edition Release 1, Build 5.10 software including:

Data Movement

• Acceleration of new Notes/Domino 6 features including “Multi-User Support” and “Single Copy Templates.”
• Addition of multicasting capabilities to TurboGold server-to-server software providing tremendous time savings and significant reductions in bandwidth utilization. Updates between Domino servers can occur simultaneously in real-time through TurboGold’s Multicator™ technology.
• Provides Notes Administrators additional control to schedule multicasting events.

Data Storage

• Expansion of TurboGold AutoZip™ utility enabling Notes Administrators to reclaim disk storage on a daily basis, from desktops to servers across the enterprise.
• New patent pending JustZip™ technology which distributes TurboGold’s storage savings to all database subscribers without moving any data.
• Further reduced storage requirements and increased bandwidth savings by zipping and unzipping email attachments sent over the Internet.

Data Control

• Enhanced to provide simple, easy to manage controls for configuring TurboGold clients and servers to ensure on-time delivery of critical information.
  

Web Acceleration

• Acceleration of iNotes data in both directions (push/pull).
• Support for iNotes Web Access to Notes encrypted mail speeding the delivery of encrypted mail sent by Notes clients.

“A company’s network should empower its employees, not hold them back. By accelerating network performance, TurboGold Enterprise Edition plays a significant role in increasing employee productivity and, therefore, company performance as a whole,” said Gordon Dorworth, president and CEO of Stampede Technologies. “Whether your company’s primary goal is to increase revenues, keep your customers satisfied or minimize expenses, TurboGold Enterprise Edition will get you there faster.”
