Mangosoft Presents Novel Approach To Peer-To-Peer At Intel Developer Forum Spring 2001

Chief Technology Officer Touts Benefits of Hybrid P2P Architecture In Mangosoft's Mangomind Internet File Sharing Service for Enterprise Collaboration

San Jose, CA - March 1, 2001: Mangosoft, Inc. (Nasdaq: BB: MGOF) Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Scott Davis announced how the company successfully applied its peer-to-peer (P2P) technology to a powerful enterprise solution for Internet file sharing and business collaboration at the Intel Developer Forum, held in San Jose, Calif., February 27 - March 1. The Intel Developer Forum is a premier event for hardware and software developers seeking vital technology insight for delivering competitive advantages in Internet-based products and services. Mangosoft is a leading developer of Internet-enabling business software and services.

During the IDF Usage Model panel highlighting successful peer-to-peer enterprise offerings, Davis described the unique hybrid architecture of the Mangomind service as a blend of a secure, peer-to-peer usage model and distributed caching optimizations with the manageability and reliability of client/server networking. This powerful combination enables an Internet file-sharing service with the integrity and high availability required by an enterprise application.

"Mangomind is a new business-oriented file-sharing service, allowing individual users to collaborate over the Internet across organizational boundaries in a safe and secure manner," said Davis. "The user experience, made possible by Mangosoft's unique hybrid peer-to-peer implementation, makes it easy for colleagues to share information through what looks like an ordinary LAN-shared drive, coupled with ‘bet your business' security and robust, enterprise-level service availability."

Mangomind improves business collaboration between customers, partners and colleagues. The service is ideal for project teams comprised of geographically dispersed workgroups that have a demanding project cycle and require intense collaboration to successfully complete the project. With Mangomind, team members can easily access the most recent project information from contributors anywhere in the world. The Windows software is easy to use and requires no additional end user training, while business level security (128-bit encryption) eliminates the need for expensive, complex virtual private networks (VPN).

Mangosoft joined Intel's Peer-to-Peer Working Group in August 2000 along with IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Groove Networks and others. The group is focused on developing standards and protocols for peer-to-peer computing.

Prior to joining Mangosoft, Davis was technical director at Digital Equipment Corporation where he launched innovative Windows NT and VMS clustering technology. Mangosoft currently holds five patents relating to distributed computing and clustering technologies, with six additional patents pending.
