FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MangoSoft Corporation Awarded Fourth U.S. Patent
Company Recognized For Web Caching Expertise And Internet Innovations
Westborough, MA - March 27, 2000: MangoSoft Corporation (MGOF NASDAQ BB), a leader in the development of easy-to-use
software that uses PC desktop systems to dramatically improve Internet
access time without requiring additional hardware, today announced that
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued the company patent number
6,026,474 for Shared Client-Side Web Caching Using Globally Addressable
Memory.
The patent acknowledges MangoSoft's unique distributed
caching technology, which produces unprecedented improvements in Internet
performance. With this patent, MangoSoft -- which previously received
three patents for its distributed file system technology -- further
extends its ability to deliver scalable Internet solutions to small and
large businesses.
"This patent is further evidence of MangoSoft's
innovative approach and unique expertise in distributed systems
technology," said Scott Davis, co-inventor of the technology and vice
president and chief technology officer of MangoSoft, Inc. "With
CacheLink's advanced and cost-effective approach to Web caching, MangoSoft
is well positioned as an emerging leader in delivering technology that
leverages ordinary PCs to improve the way companies use the
Internet."
The newly awarded MangoSoft patent is the first that
covers pooled Web caching, which is the foundation of the company's
CacheLink product. CacheLink, MangoSoft's software-based Web cache
product, dramatically improves Internet and intranet performance by
transparently linking the browser caches of computers on a company's local
network into a single large cache pool. The result is significantly
decreased Internet access time and increased available bandwidth.
CacheLink achieves this without requiring additional hardware or
complicated system administration. CacheLink not only speeds up access to
the Internet, but effectively reduces the costs associated with Internet
access.
Recognizing CacheLink as the preferred caching solution,
Ramp Networks has recently announced that it is bundling the program on
its WebRamp 350E shared Internet access devices.
The rights of the patent are effective as of the patent
award date, February 15, 2000.
