(VPN) SERVICES

Security is a "Vital Service," Says Hosting Customer

Santa Clara, Calif. and London - March 20th, 2002 - Conxion Corporation, the reliability and performance leader in managed hosting, is further broadening its managed security services to offer customers added features and performance through integrated firewall/VPN products from NetScreen Technologies, a leading developer of ASIC-based Internet security systems and appliances.

Conxion has already integrated the NetScreen-500 and NetScreen-100 products into its service offering for customers - and major customers like Borland Software Corporation have deployed the NetScreen-100 for their managed service. "We are hosting our new software development services platform with Conxion, and this includes working with the company's security group to build the best solution for us," said Pat Kerpan, vice president and general manager of TeamSource DSP of Borland, a leading provider of technology used
to develop, deploy and integrate software applications.

"The NetScreen-100 that Conxion has integrated into TeamSource DSP provides the throughput that is vital for our customers, who need secure, yet rapid access to their information."

"Conxion's customer list includes industry leaders that need and expect the highest level of security," said Gareth Green, NetScreen's Managing Director for Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA). "In Europe, with the rapidly
growing uptake of broadband access and high-performance networking, security is becoming a fundamentally important issue. Conxion's choice of NetScreen technology enables them to provide the increased security these customers demand."

"Selecting the appropriate security system for any business is complex, and around-the-clock maintenance, configuration and management often requires a full-time team of experts. For that reason we decided to partner with NetScreen," said Phil Simmonds, senior director of product marketing at Conxion. "As a fully managed service provider with a presence in Europe,
our customers rely on us to provide the best solutions for their business requirements, and no one on the market offers a more thorough firewall/VPN security solution than NetScreen with comparable ease of use, high performance and broad feature set."

The Secured By NetScreen program is a comprehensive sales, service and support program designed to help service providers deploy NetScreen-based network security offerings. Conxion will receive intensive training,
professional services, and expanded sales, marketing and technical support as part of the program.
