ADC and NEXL Announce Value-Added Reseller Agreement ServicePoint#&153; Product Enables NEXL to Add Another Level of Network Service MINNEAPOLIS – September 25, 2000 – ADC (Nasdaq: ADCT; www.adc.com), a leading global supplier of fiber optics, network equipment, software and integration services for broadband, multiservice networks, today announced that NEXL Network Systems, one of the fastest growing information technology providers in the country has become a value-added reseller for ADC’s access products. As a result of this relationship, NEXL will distribute and support ADC’s family of ServicePoint™ solutions throughout the United States. In today’s environment where it is a continuous challenge to stay ahead of explosive data growth, ServicePoint Service Delivery Units (SDUs) and ServicePoint Manager software solve the pressing needs of managing wide area networks. Whether networks are managed in-house or outsourced to a service provider under a managed service agreement, ServicePoint provides the ability to leverage value-added services, gain visibility of WAN usage and performance, and control WAN access by applications. Stand-alone DSU/CSUs and ServicePoint Key to Customer Success Unlike router vendors who have integrated DSU/CSU options that offer minimal terminate, monitor and control functionality and limited ability to reduce long-term operational cost, ServicePoint SDUs enable delivery of value-added services and increased network management and control functionality that help enterprise managers better manage WAN costs and performance. In addition, ServicePoint SDUs are transparent to the routing infrastructure and do not require a “forklift” upgrade to existing routers. “The greatest distinction between a ServicePoint SDU and an integrated router/DSU is more comprehensives support for terminate, monitor and control functionality at the WAN access point,” says Rich Mahoney, director of technical services. “ServicePoint will be a key element in our goal of providing a higher standard of managed services to enterprise customers that do not have the internal resources to keep up with the pace of innovation in networking technology. As a managed services provider, we will be utilizing the SDUs in order to monitor telecommunication lines for the customer. In addition, we will be using the ServicePoint Explorer as a first line 'sniffer'. This will assist in troubleshooting WAN and LAN functionality and be a tremendous value-add for our clients.” “We are pleased to be working with NEXL,” said Clyde Jenkins, general manager of ADC Access Products Division. “For the last eleven years, NEXL has successfully responded to the increasingly complex demands of enterprise customers. This agreement further advances our strategy to expand our market and meet our customer’s networking access needs as their networks evolve, with the same high-quality product and support they’ve come to expect from us.” About NEXL NEXL, a privately held company since its inception in 1989, is one of the fastest growing Information Technology providers in the country. During the past 11 years NEXL has responded to the demands of an increasingly complex business environment, and grown into a leading provider of Enterprise Systems and Storage, Network and Network Security and Managed Services professional technical consulting and solutions that build competitive advantages for high-growth businesses.
