"Lanux Limited Teams with PostgreSQL, Inc.
on PostgreSQL High Availability Solution"

"Lanux has established a reputation of delivering unparalleled connectivity
across protocols, operating systems and hardware platforms," notes Geoff
Davidson, CEO of PostgreSQL, Inc. (PgSQL), "creating a technology that meets
the business need for high speed Hot Failover capabilities demanded by today's
real-time online mission critical information systems."

Lanux technology complements and enhances PgSQL's recently released replication
solution, eRServer v1.2 by providing transaction integrity and hot
failover.  "We have chosen to work with PostgreSQL at the strategic level for
all the right reasons." states Kevin Alexander, CTO of Lanux. "PostgreSQL is
the world's most advanced open source database, and it provides rugged
industrial strength solutions to IT organizations around the world."

"Corporate IT managers face a number of financial and operational challenges.
Lowered earnings and increased cost per transaction have cut into IT budgets.
There is an urgent need for an integrated solution which provides high systems
availability, transaction integrity and increased levels of data security
through data cloaking. Lanux partnered with PostgreSQL enables our customers to
achieve these benefits.  Adding the enhanced security and communications
features of Lanux means that government and industry can continue to expand
distributed and wireless computing while increasing security across the entire
network." Observes Lanux CEO Dennis Bernhard.

"This strategic partnership delivers immediate benefits to everyone," explains
Davidson, "PostgreSQL benefits by having one of the most robust business
continuity and disaster recovery facilities available at any price.  IT
consumers benefit through improved connectivity, virtually unlimited database
capabilities, and increased network security at a substantially lower cost.
Lanux benefits by entering into several new markets as a technology leader."
