Enhanced Commitment to Connectivity Products for the Linux
Platform
FREMONT and OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA – September 29, 1998 – Cyclades
Corporation, makers of high-performance connectivity products, and
S.u.S.E., Inc., Europe’s leading Linux distribution vendor for
businesses, today announced their partnership to bring more of
Cyclades’ future product line to the Linux platform.
“S.u.S.E. is very pleased to be working closely with Cyclades,”
said Scott McNeil, president of S.u.S.E. North America. “Through
this partnership, we will be assisting Cyclades in its efforts to
make more of its products compatible with Linux more quickly. For
end users, this means increased convenience easy connectivity
in all forms of networking.”
“Cyclades’ partnering with S.u.S.E. will allow the user easier
management of their solution with ours,” said John Lima, CEO of

Linux has long been the platform of choice for ISPs worldwide.
The operating system’s success in this industry is primarily due to
its rock-solid stability and open architecture. Support for Linux
has recently expanded beyond the ISP community. This expansion is
most notable with the arrival of vendors such as Informix, Oracle,
and Sybase, all of whom have announced their support for S.u.S.E.
Linux.
Cyclades continues to support the Linux community by bringing
products that satisfy the growing demand for Linux hardware and
solutions.
