FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Atos Origin Selects Resonate to Provide High Availability for European Enterprises SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 23, 2001 — Resonate, Inc. (NASDAQ: RSNT), the leading provider of active service level management solutions for e-business applications, today announced that Atos Origin Multimedia Activity has selected Resonate to provide high availability, scalability and performance for its enterprise customers in Europe. Atos Origin Multimedia Activity will be using Resonate Central Dispatch™, a sophisticated LAN-based traffic management product, that enables multiple IP-based servers clustered on a LAN to act as a single, scalable and easily managed system. Through software agents resident on every server, Resonate Central Dispatch monitors a system's health and availability, then directs user requests to the server best able to maximize service levels. Atos Origin Multimedia Activity provides e-business application design and web hosting solutions for enterprises in Europe including Fimatex, Peugeot, Les Echos, La Poste, L'?quipe and Aquarelle. With Resonate Central Dispatch, Atos Origin is able to improve and optimize information flow with its enterprise customers consistently and reliably. "Resonate's proven software technology in the enterprise made the company an obvious choice in providing the fault-tolerant capabilities our customers demand, " said Eric De Paris, System Department Manager at Atos Origin. "Resonate Central Dispatch's sophisticated features allow our customers to focus on delivering optimum service levels to their end-users without having to worry about downtime or slowed performance." Atos Origin Multimedia Activity will be taking advantage of Resonate's unique software approach toward traffic management. As a software solution, Resonate Central Dispatch scales as e-business applications grow, without requiring changes in existing hardware investments. When servers are added to an e-business infrastructure, Resonate Central Dispatch leverages the additional server processors for increased performance, unlike hardware products where responsiveness is degraded or feature functionality is sacrificed as usage and systems grow. Resonate Central Dispatch class-of-service functionality addresses the growing need to deliver differentiated service levels. It empowers e-businesses to differentiate service levels, based on the user, application, and class of transaction or system environment. With predictable user experiences, e-businesses can meet goals for resource utilization while maximizing customer satisfaction and customer retention. "Atos Origin is a great win for Resonate as it is one of the leading information technology services companies in Europe with great presence in the enterprise market, " said Jean-Fran?ois Guyomar, Vice President of EMEA at Resonate. "We believe our products and solutions will continue to see success in this market as we are truly focused on e-business service levels, helping enterprises become efficient and stay competitive."
