Borland Selects Conxion Corporation To Manage and Host
New Software Development Platform in Europe & the US

Borland Cites Security and Reliability as Key Drivers

London - December 11th, 2001 - Conxion Corporation, the reliability and
performance leader in managed hosting, has announced that it is working
with Borland Software Corporation (Nasdaq NM: BORL) to host and manage
Borland® TeamSource DSP (Development Services Platform), a new hosted
service that enables software development across the firewall.

This new service operated by Borland will work in tandem with Conxion's
managed hosting offering, so that software development can be staged and
transitioned to production in the same data centre it was developed in, for
fast and efficient deployment.

TeamSource DSP, hosted at Conxion, aims to speed application development by
bridging teams distributed across function, locations and companies. Conxion
is building a complete hosting and network solution for Borland. Conxion
will supply, build, integrate and maintain application and database servers
within secure data centres in London and the US, all with 24x7 support; and
these systems will be integrated into Conxion's high-performance global IP
network.

Conxion's Tier 1 network status provides a view of the Internet routing
tables, and this network intelligence is used by Conxion's HotRoute Digital
Delivery Network (DDN) to provide the fastest access for customers.

Borland required a secure, reliable and high-performance platform for
hosting this mission-critical service. "We chose Conxion because they
demonstrated the necessary skills and a robust infrastructure to help us
provide a complex hosted development platform," said Patrick Kerpan, vice
president and general manager of development services platform solutions for
Borland. "The flexibility of Conxion's infrastructure will allow us to
easily scale TeamSource to meet customer demand."

"We are very pleased to work with Borland in this endeavour and service
delivery," said Greg Quinn, vice president of sales and strategic alliances
at Conxion. "This new development infrastructure is mission-critical, and
demands that we work together to ensure the most powerful and reliable
platform. Our managed service will deliver the security, reliability, and
network performance required to deliver true 24x7, across the firewall
development."
