Digital to resell FastLane tools for migrating Banyan VINES users to Windows NT and Exchange
HALIFAX, Canada, August 26 /CNW-PRN/ - FastLane Technologies Inc. announced today a worldwide partner agreement
with Digital Equipment Corporation. Digital will offer FastLane's new Flyte(TM) VINES-to-NT Migration Management Tool
as part of its Network and Systems Integration Services (NSIS) offering. Digital is the world's largest, most experienced NT
migration consulting firm, and has implemented more than 1 million Exchange seats globally. FastLane is a leader in mass
enterprise management solutions for large heterogeneous networks.
FastLane and Digital are aggressively pursuing the fast-growing market for NT-based systems. A market research report by
DataQuest claims Windows NT sales may exceed 41 million units by the year 2000, up from 5.6 million units this year and 2.2
million units in 1996.
``We are the number one vendor in migrating customers to Windows NT and Exchange,'' said Larry Hersh, worldwide
manager of NT Migration for Digital's Network and Systems Integration Services. ``FastLane Technologies has the
best-in-class solutions for transitioning and migrating Banyan VINES customers to Windows NT. As a result of the agreement,
Digital now offers Banyan VINES users a single point of contact for VINES-to-NT migration strategies and implementation.''
Flyte is the first in a series of FastLane solutions offered for managing enterprise networks. FastLane solutions are powered by
FINAL(TM) (FastLane Integrated Network Application Language), its core scripting language for mass enterprise
management. FastLane solutions greatly reduce the time, complexity, and expense of transitioning and managing network
operating systems.
``Companies investing in NT and Exchange as their enterprise platform are demanding strategic tools to help them make the
migration practical and cost-effective,'' said David Seguin, president and chief executive officer of FastLane Technologies.
``Flyte and our growing line of FINAL-based point solutions represent a significant breakthrough in tools for migrating,
optimizing, and administering large heterogeneous networks. The combination of our best-of-breed products and Digital's
renowned best practices in NT migration form a powerful partnership for our joint customers.''
