BELLEVUE, Wash. - Onyx® Software Corporation (NASDAQ: ONXS) today announced support for the new IBM® eServer* xSeries^TM, as part of IBM's introduction of its latest eServer product. Together, the two products can offer enhanced flexibility, reliability and performance to Onyx and IBM customers.

Designed to usher industry standard Intel-based servers into the datacenter, the new system is geared for both server consolidation as well as large single-system applications. Through high-end scalability, proven reliability, and effective server-partitioning, the xSeries 440 is designed to enable Onyx and IBM customers to improve the performance and reduce the cost of their high-end datacenters.

Onyx and IBM have already established a strong working relationship to provide enterprise CRM solutions to mid-market customers. With today's announcement the relationship is extended even further to support IBM's latest and most advanced eServer. Running both the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, the IBM eServer x440 provides a powerful platform for Onyx's CRM solution.

"We believe the new xSeries server from IBM will provide our large customers the scalability and reliability they need." said Bill Bunker, vice president of marketing and product management for Onyx Software. "Building on the scalability benchmarks Onyx has already achieved, this box will push the envelope even further."

A perennial leader in the mid-market, Onyx delivers a CRM solution appropriate for large enterprises across a broad suite of verticals, including financial services, health care, utilities and high tech. Onyx focuses on companies with annual revenues between $100 million and $2 billion, as well as divisions of larger companies that are deploying solutions for thousands of users down to a few hundred users.

Onyx recently debuted in Gartner Inc.'s B2B and B2C CRM Suites Magic Quadrant, providing independent confirmation of Onyx as a well-suited CRM offering for both large- and medium-sized businesses.

"The IBM eServer x440 is built to handle core business applications that reside at the heart of the datacenter," said Deepak Advani, vice president, IBM eServer xSeries. "Coupled with key solutions like Onyx, the new IBM eServer gives customers incredible flexibility, reliability and performance for their e-business infrastructure."
