Dow Jones Business News -- August 21, 1996

Sun Microsystems, IBM To Expand Business
Relationship

Dow Jones News Services

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Sun Microsystems Inc. (SUNW) and International
Business Machines Corp. (IBM) are expanding their business relationship. This
will include IBM's licensing of Sun's Java client connectivity product Joe.

In a joint press release, Sun Microsystems and IBM said the expanded
relationship is intended ''to provide customers with more closely integrated
software solutions for their enterprise computing environments.''

The expanded relationship also includes the following:

- Sun will license class libraries, which include interfaces to IBM's MQSeries
messaging system. MQSeries ''simplifies'' interoperability across networks by
managing the complex communications between applications running in different
computing environments, the companies said.

- IBM will ready a version of its CICS server for Sun's Solaris operating system.
This server provides the communications and networking management features
to build global, heterogeneous networks, ranging from PCs to mainframes, the
companies said.

- IBM will provide class libraries that will enable Java programmers to access
IBM's CICS server, which will be made available on Sun's Solaris operating
system in the fourth quarter.

- Sun and IBM will augment their implementations of the Object Management
Group's Common Object Request Broker Architecture naming service with a
common naming convention. This enhancement will enable customers in both
Sun and IBM environments to use a ''consistent'' means of accessing
information, the firms said.
