 SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 5, 2000--F5 Networks, Inc.,
 (Nasdaq:FFIV) the leading provider of Internet traffic and content
 management (iTCM) products, announced today an OEM license
 agreement that gives Dell access to all of F5's iTCM products.

 Immediately, the two companies will begin work to bring F5's
 award-winning high availability and intelligent load-balancing software,
 BIG-IP(R), to market on a Dell PowerApp appliance server. This
 appliance server product will be targeted for service providers,
 dot-coms, and brick-to-click businesses, and other organizations
 building out their Internet infrastructure.

 "Our PowerApp product strategy focuses on applications located at
 the edge of the Internet infrastructure," said Michael Lambert, senior
 vice president, Dell Enterprise Systems Group. "Traffic management
 is one of those critical applications and cementing a partnership with
 the market leader, F5 Networks, is a big win for Dell and our
 customers. We've found that service providers and dot-coms want
 integrated, turnkey systems that are easy to install, simple to manage,
 and offer outstanding value. Integrating F5's BIG-IP software on our
 PowerApp appliance servers will give customers a turnkey system
 that can day and night, without a stop, distribute traffic for the most
 mission-critical e-commerce systems."

 The Dell-branded traffic management solution targets enterprises and
 service providers that are looking for a turnkey platform; one that
 offers a single vendor solution for a tightly integrated,
 high-performance, flexible e-Business infrastructure. This
 announcement underscores the universal applicability of F5's
 technology, which brings a rich feature set that can be easily
 integrated into the leading server and networking platforms in the
 market.

 "F5 has quickly moved beyond the basics of load balancing to
 comprehensive Internet traffic and content management," said Mark
 Hoover, President of Acuitive, Inc. "Their strategy has been well
 aligned with the technical and business dynamics associated with the
 build out of e-Business infrastructures by service providers,
 dot-coms, and enterprises. The announcement with Dell bodes well
 for them to expand their market opportunity and become an even
 greater force in the industry."

 Availability of operations, in addition to fast response time, is critical to
 delivering the best web experience for customers. F5's BIG-IP
 product provides high availability and intelligent traffic management for
 a single Internet site or data center, and offers another level of
 fault-tolerance by eliminating single points of failure on a network. By
 intelligently distributing customer requests across a group of servers,
 BIG-IP helps to ensure that an e-Business' content and applications
 are always available.

 "The seamless integration of F5's high availability and intelligent traffic
 management software with Dell's PowerApp appliance server
 platform will bring significant value to the marketplace as customers
 look to consolidate their network infrastructure to optimize
 manageability without sacrificing performance," said Jeff Hussey,
 Chairman, President and CEO at F5 Networks. "Our relationship with
 Dell represents a key milestone in F5's recently announced product
 strategy roadmap to partner with leading infrastructure providers to
 work toward the goal of becoming the definitive standard for Internet
 traffic and content management."

denke jedoch langfristig wieder an dreistellige zahlen, bin deshalb auch seit kurzem investiert.
etwas unerklaerlich ist der kurspsrung von extreme networks heute... hoffentlich zieht F5 nach

Vielleicht platzt der Knoten bei FFIV, die letzten Handelstage konnten sie deutlich outperformern:

siehe Dienstag: Nasdaq -1,77%, FFIV + 15%

Bin sehr zuversichtlich
TGK

man sollte bei F5 nicht vergessen, dass in deren Kundenkartei nur namenhafte NASDAQ-Unternehmen stehen:

- Sun Microsystems
- Hewlett Packard
- Compaq
- Microsoft
- Apple
- IBM
- Intel
- SAP
- Baan
- Novell
- Oracle
- Peoplesoft
- MCI WorldCom
-3Com

Wenn die sich schon der kleinen Klitsche, Marktkap. 994 Mio Euro (!!),
KGV(2000) 58, KGV(2001) 38, annehmen, dann werde ich meinen Verlust im 5-stelligen Bereich in näherer Zukunft wieder drin haben, bei der Referenzliste kann man doch nur zuversichtlich sein.
Um die 50 wird nachgekauft...........

Stay long, beneide alle, die jetzt zum ersten Mal einsteigen.

TGK

Gewinn- und Umsatzwachstum wird zu einem KGV von ca. 30-35 verschleudert. Da kann man nur noch den Kopf schütteln.

F5 erholen sich heute. Nächste Woche kommen die Zahlen auf den Tisch und dann werden wir sehen, ob man drin bleiben sollte oder das Schiff verlassen muß.

Sehe es genauso.

TGK

bin wohl etwas frueh rein (E69.00) und habe bluten muessen. bin aber dabei geblieben. sollten die die steigerungen beibeahlten ....
