Tridia Corporation Consolidates Its Product Line Around DoubleVision® Pro
Tridia discontinues DoubleVision for UNIX/Linux and DoubleVision for Windows products

ATLANTA | OCTOBER 1, 2003 | Tridia Corporation (www.tridia.com), a global provider of multiplatform, Internet safe remote administration and support software to administrators that require maximum network and system availability, announced it will discontinue its DoubleVision for UNIX/Linux and DoubleVision for Windows product effective January 1, 2004. With the ascent of its DoubleVision Pro product as the premier multiplatform remote administration and support product that allows administrators to remotely manage remote Windows, Linux and UNIX computers safely over the Internet, made the functionality in DoubleVision for UNIX/Linux and DoubleVision for Windows redundant.

"DoubleVision Pro combines all the functionality found in DoubleVision for UNIX/Linux and DoubleVision for Windows into one product. Better still, DoubleVision Pro provides a framework for supporting multiple platforms and doing it safely over the Internet. This functionality is not present in our UNIX/Linux and Windows specific products," says Vince Frese, CEO and president of Tridia Corporation. "This multiplatform, Internet safe functionality reflects the demands of today security conscious, Internet-based companies and now DoubleVision Pro meets those demands in one integrated product."

As of January 1, 2004, DoubleVision for UNIX/Linux and DoubleVision for Windows will no longer be available for sale. Tridia will continue to support these products through December 31, 2004.

The DoubleVision Pro for UNIX/Linux module provides all the functionality of the DoubleVision for UNIX/Linux product, plus it seamlessly integrates with the DoubleVision Pro framework. This allows administrators to remotely administer and support UNIX and Linux servers over the Internet or private networks. Customers of DoubleVision for UNIX/Linux are being urged to upgrade to DoubleVision Pro. Special upgrade programs are now available to make the upgrade process easy and very affordable.

"By upgrading to DoubleVision Pro, our customers take a quantum leap forward in being able to remotely support their systems. Since DoubleVision Pro is designed to allow the access of multiple platforms over the Internet, our customers are getting an administration and support solution that will allow them to meet the dynamic needs of the future. DoubleVision Pro gives them a framework that they can grow with," adds Frese.

DoubleVision for Windows customers are able to upgrade to the DoubleVision Pro for Windows module at no cost. The DoubleVision Pro for Windows module allows them to remotely administer and support Windows-based systems within the multiplatform, Internet safe framework of DoubleVision Pro. Tridia's remote administration and support products provide an affordable solution to information technology's (IT) critical need to better manage and support multiplatform, distributed systems, particularly over the Internet. With Tridia's DoubleVision Pro and Tridia Internet Access Server products, IT can quickly maximize their network and systems availability and turn downtime into uptime.
