iTools for Mac OS X: Serious Tools for the Internet

Santa Barbara, CA, May 10, 1999. Tenon Intersystems today announced a
new suite of internet tools for Apple's next-generation Mac OS X.
Building upon their award-wining WebTen software, Tenon is creating a
suite of internet tools for both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server.
Tenon's new iTools extends and enhances Mac OS X 's networking
performance, efficiency, ease-of-use, and functionality with a family
of tools essential to serious, commercial content delivery and
eCommerce.

Based on standard, open source protocol implementations, iTools is
designed to complement and extend the Apache that is included with
Apple's OS X Server and to make it easy for webmasters to set up and
support sophisticated network servers. Using Apple's bundled Apache
as a point-of-departure, Tenon's iTools extends this underlying
server platform with a point & click interface and a rich set of new
features. Included with iTools, in addition to extensions and
enhancements to the Mac OS X Apache web server, are a powerful
WEBmail server, a state-of-the-art domain name server, a multihoming
FTP server, a robust SSL encryption engine to support eCommerce, a
powerful caching engine with state-of-the-art proxy support, and a
Sherlock-savvy search engine. All of the tools are supported using a
secure, point & click, browser-based administration tool.

Mac OS X's iTools for Apache is an evolution of Tenon's WebTen for
Mac OS, heralded for being the easiest and fastest Apache in the
world. The WEBmail tool turns a Mac OS X system into a complete POP3,
IMAP and anytime, anywhere, 'hotmail'-style mailserver. The DNS tool
enhances and extends Mac OS X's domain name service with dynamic load
balancing. The FTP tool includes support for virtual FTP hosts,
password protected FTP and anonymous FTP. In accordance with Apple's
Darwin Open Source Initiative, many of the tools will also be
available with complete source code under GNU open source licensing.

Apple's Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server is built on a Carnegie Mellon
MACH kernel and Berkeley BSD 4.4 foundation. This framework provides
a rich multiuser environment, with preemptive multitasking and memory
protection - making the new G3 processors ideal platforms for
internet servers. "With the G3 machines, Mac OS X and iTools all the
components for world-class content delivery are in-place," said Steve
Holmgren, President and CEO of Tenon. "With WebTen (for Mac OS) and
iTools (for Mac OS X and OS X Server), content creation and delivery
can begin on Mac OS and, as requirements grow, gracefully evolve to
OS X and OS X Server, giving webmasters an evolutionary path across
Mac OS systems of all sizes and power. Webmasters can start with a
traditional Mac OS system and, as their needs grow, graduate to Mac
OS X and ultimately to larger workstations, all with a consistent
architecture for secure web & mail delivery systems."

iTools for Mac OS X Server will ship in June; iTools for Mac OS X
will be available as soon as Mac OS X ships. WebTen 4.0, a point and
click Apache for OS X Server and the precursor to iTools, is
currently being offered at the introductory price of $299. All WebTen
4.0 customers will receive a free upgrade to iTools for Mac OS X
Server. Price for iTools on OS X Server and OS X has not yet been
determined.

Founded in 1989, Tenon Intersystems is a leader in high-performance
networking. Tenon technology, combined with the power of Apple's
G3-based machines, is providing the framework for world-class
networking on the Macintosh. WebTen was recently selected as the
Macworld Editor's Choice for Best Server Software, outpacing WebSTAR
and Apple's ASIP. Tenon Intersystems can be reached in the U.S. at
805-963-6983, by the internet at sales@tenon.com, or via the web at
