Cognos Announces
PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web for HP-UX Itanium

This fall, Cognos strengthens its ongoing commitment to its PowerHouse
customers with the release of PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web on
Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX operating system running on Intel Itanium 2
hardware. This is a direct port of the industry-leading application
development tool that is so successful on Hewlett-Packard's PA-RISC
platforms. PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web run as native Itanium
applications and do not use emulation mode, thus providing the high
performance that customers expect.

The version is 8.43D1 and is consistent with the 8.43D1 version for
HP-UX PA-RISC released in the spring. The PA-RISC and Itanium versions
can be used together in mixed hardware installations. The new release is
also compatible with Axiant 3.4D1 for thin-client applications.

The Itanium version is built on version 11iV2 of HP-UX and supports the
latest relational database versions.

*	Oracle 9i (9.2.0) and 10g (10.1.0)
*	IBM DB2 UDB 8.2
*	Sybase ASE 12.5 (CTLib)

It also supports DataDirect 5.0 ODBC to Microsoft SQL Server.

As well, PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web for HP-UX Itanium support the
same non-relational data sources that are supported on PA-RISC meaning
that applications can be run transparently across both platforms.

*	IBM Informix C-ISAM 7.25
*	Marxmeier Eloquence B.07.00
*	Omnidex 3.8.0

Migrating HPe3000-MPE/iX customers now have another option to choose
from. They can move forward confident in the knowledge that PowerHouse
4GL and PowerHouse Web are supported on both hardware options offered by
Hewlett-Packard, whether they choose to migrate to Itanium immediately
or PA-RISC today and Itanium tomorrow.

PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web for HP-UX Itanium will come on its own
CD bundled in the PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web 8.43D1 for HP-UX
package.

User-based pricing for PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web for HP-UX
Itanium is the same as for the PA-RISC version. Please contact your
Cognos Account Representative for availability.
