Johannesburg, 08 May 2000

LAN Design has been appointed as a distributor for NTP Software, a leading provider of innovative Windows NT / 2000 and BackOffice add-on products.

NTP Software provides a range of quality business solutions for Microsoft Windows NT/2000 environments to reduce downtime, automate administration and improve return on investment for and technology.

"NTP Software`s products are designed with one goal in mind - to make life simpler for IT managers. Their versatile product range is testimony to this - whether it`s managing disk storage, email, printer usage, user accounts, remote access or server availability. It`s no surprise that NTP`s products have a rapidly growing customer base, including the likes of NASA, Merrill Lynch, John Deere and the U.S. Department of Energy. The NTP range complements our existing product set, and we are pleased that NTP Software has chosen us as their business partner in South Africa", says Neill Rosenthal, product manager at LAN Design.

Included in the NTP Software line-up are the following :

The product that established NTP in the marketplace - Quota ManagerT - monitors disk space utilisation, preventing users from abusing their privileges and making excessive use of available disk space. It keeps users from using servers as expensive e-mail archives, and prevents runaway batch jobs from filling up a server. Quota Manager also forces discipline on download areas, making users move files from these temporary storage resources to their proper locations. Installed in tens of thousands of sites on all seven continents around the world, Quota Manager is a proven product that assigns maximum disk-space limits to storage objects - files, directories, and shares-on NT servers. It moves responsibility for low-level storage management to the users who actually use the space. Network managers are relieved from policing the network manually and can spend their time on tasks that require skilled human intervention.

System SentinelT is a suite of network services dedicated to the real-time monitoring of Windows NT event logs, TCP/IP servers and devices, Windows NT system services, and critical applications.

System Sentinel provides advanced log management through event filtering, caching, and routing of events to various media such as alphanumeric pagers, dialup pagers, email, ODBC databases, SNMP traps, etc. SNMP traps allows System Sentinel to integrate with installed framework architectures such as Computer Associates Unicenter TNG. System Sentinel also provides a central management console where you can easily monitor and all the System Sentinel licensed Windows NT Servers and Workstations. System Sentinel is a self-diagnosing and troubleshooting system that contains built-in watchdogs designed to accurately pinpoint internal problems and failures.

Domain AssistantT is a collection of four utilities that enable network administrators to audit, assign, edit, and delete access privileges for Windows NT server environments in a manner never before possible. It can also be used as a tool to help organizations migrate from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000.

Internet Marketing ManagerT is a desktop application that works together with NTP Software List Manager, turning Microsoft Exchange into an effective platform for targeted external direct mail and internal corporate communications. It quickly, easily and cost-effectively incorporates the ability to automate customisation and personalisation of e-mail messages. This improves not only the timeliness, but also the accuracy and quality of interaction with customers, business partners and internal employees. It enables businesses to shorten sales cycles, create highly fluid internal and external distribution channels and build or exploit prospect and customer databases. This is accomplished by accessing customer or employee information either from existing lists generated by List Manager or from addresses pulled from standard data sources such as AccessT, FoxProT, SQL ServerT and OracleT.
