Zeus Web Server Surpasses Sun iPlanet Market Share

Latest Netcraft Statistics Show Zeus Breaking Into
Top 3 Most Used Web Servers on the Net

Cambridge, UK, May 22, 2002 Zeus Technology today announced that according 
to a recent Netcraft survey, market share of the Zeus Web Server™ has now 
surpassed iPlanet™, now known as the Sun® Microsystems ‘One’ Web Server, 
for the first time.  This makes the Zeus Web Server the 3rd most used on 
the Internet - Netcraft’s monthly statistics are considered the ‘final 
word’ for market share and software usage on the Web.

This breakthrough also coincides with two other recent accolades for 
Zeus  the winning of the prestigious PC Magazine Editor’s Choice Award for 
web server software (against fierce competition from not only iPlanet/Sun 
but also Microsoft® IIS and Apache®, the top two web servers in market 
share) and winning the i3 Innovations in Infrastructure award over Red Hat® 
and Sun ® Microsystems in the Internet Software Category.

Zeus continues to focus its activities on large commercial websites running 
major ecommerce services such as eBay®, Interflora® and Blue Mountain®, as 
well as some of the world’s most successful Internet Service Providers, 
including UUNET™, Telewest™ and Cable & Wireless®.  The Zeus Web Server 
offers a unique combination of high performance, reliability and scalable 
functionality, which are fundamental requirements in any business 
sector.  For additional information and to download a trial version of Zeus 
Web Server, visit www.zeus.com.

As well as seeing growth in the top percentage of the world’s busiest web 
sites, Zeus continues to develop and extend its market share within the 
development and technical communities, its traditional stronghold.

Zeus CEO, John Paterson noted, “The Web Server software market is a complex 
industry, which continues to be dominated by free solutions in Apache and 
IIS.  As web traffic continues to grow and security and scalability become 
real issues for more and more companies, those companies will have to give 
more attention to their fundamental web infrastructure. The Zeus family of 
products are the only web infrastructure products capable of meeting these 
requirements.”
