FORE SYSTEMS' PRESIDENT AND CEO, THOMAS J. GILL, DELIVERS KEYNOTE AT THE 'IT FOR WALLSTREET '99' CONFERENCE
GartnerGroup/Ziff-Davis Event Brings Together Leading Securities,
Banking and Insurance Companies
Pittsburgh, PA - February 24, 1999 - FORE Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORE), a leading global supplier of Application Aware networking solutions, today announced that its President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas J. Gill, will deliver Thursday's keynote address at this week's "IT for WallStreet'99" conference and exhibition in New York City. Mr. Gill's presentation, entitled "Building Application Aware Networks for Competitive Advantage," will highlight the importance of an intelligent network foundation.
"The competitive landscape in today's financial services industry is extraordinary - and that competition is fueled by the need for
information," said Gill. "Those organizations with fast, reliable access to the right information at the right time stand to profit significantly. FORE Systems has invested heavily in developing network solutions that can do just that, providing a critical competitive advantage to our customers."
FORE Systems' Application Aware networking solutions allow the network to recognize the kind of traffic flowing across it, empowering the network manager to prioritize business-critical traffic flows over other non-critical traffic. For example, a financial services company with an Application Aware network infrastructure from FORE would be able to prioritize time-sensitive market data traffic and applications over email
or Internet traffic. That way, as the network becomes congested, the market data applications would still receive the highest levels of performance and availability.
Mr. Gill's presentation will be delivered on Thursday, February 25th at 8:30 a.m. at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. |
