Greater China’s largest IP VPN service provider offers email users with optimum balance of performance, features and valuel

Hong Kong, May 29, 2002 Diyixian.com Ltd, Greater China's largest IP VPN service provider, today announced the launch of a high-performance Personalized Information Management (PIM) & Messaging server hosting service that combines Diyixian’s cutting-edge managed hosting technologies with the top-notch offerings of two industry leaders --- processor giant Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) and leading communication & collaboration solutions provider Magically, Inc.

Hosting in-house PIM & Messaging servers with Diyixian offers tremendous advantages over using pure email service provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs):

"Diyixian is proud to offer a new breed of managed hosting service that features AMD's new line of AMD Athlon™ MP processors and Magically's top messaging and groupware solution,” said Lap Man, CEO of Diyixian. “Today, more and more people are relying on the Internet as a way to send and receive information. The powerful combination of AMD’s cutting-edge processors and Magically, Inc’s innovative groupware solutions allows users to experience unparalleled convenience in critical data delivery."

A processor can dramatically affect the performance of a server. With its highly sophisticated AMD Athlon™ MP processors for servers and workstations (including the newly announced AMD Athlon MP processor 2000+ and the award-winning AMD Athlon MP processor 1800+), AMD gives users access to the advantages of some of the best performing processors in the world. The AMD Athlon™ MP processors, featuring QuantiSpeed™ architecture, Smart MP technology and 3DNow!™ technology, are designed to provide the performance and reliability necessary for the execution of multi-threaded and mission-critical applications. With QuantiSpeed™ architecture, AMD Athlon™ MP processors deliver extra performance by increasing the amount of work done per clock cycle, while offering fully-featured logic implementation based on Smart MP technology to ensure smarter multiprocessing.

"We are excited to support this top-of-the-range PIM & Messaging server hosting service with our powerful AMD Athlon™ MP processors," said Thomson Chan, director of marketing, AMD Asia Pacific. "Our AMD Athlon™ MP processors provide outstanding overall system performance and stability that enterprises need for the best experience on messaging server hosting service. We believe this collaboration enterprise solution will provide e-mail users with greater manageability, convenience and security."

To provide users with multi-modal mobility, this solution also draws on the strength of MagicalOffice™, a fully web-based intranet and groupware application from Magically, Inc. Its comprehensive features empower enterprises to meet the demanding needs of today's personal communication and collaborative initiatives. "The web-based and real-time modalities of MagicalOffice™ provide users with greater flexibility of choice, ensuring multi-modal convergence at the user level. As a result, collaboration and communication could be made anytime and anywhere," said Erwin Huang, President & Chief Technology Officer of Magically, Inc.
