AMDAHL AND CRAY RESEARCH ANNOUNCE RESELLER
AGREEMENT FOR BRANDED CRAY SUPERSERVER 6400
SYSTEMS

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and EAGAN, Minn., February 28, 1995 --
Amdahl Corporation (AMEX:AMDL) and Cray Research, Inc.
(NYSE:CYR) announced today a value-added reseller agreement
for Amdahl's Open Enterprise Systems division to market
Amdahl-branded versions of the Cray Superserver 6400
(CS6400) system, the world's most powerful SPARC/Solaris-
compliant system.

Under the terms of the non-exclusive agreement, effective
immediately, Amdahl will market the CS6400 systems on a
worldwide basis, except for Japan.  The new Amdahl systems
will be called the SPARCsummit (TM) 6400E series and will be
available with up to 64 processors, 16 gigabytes (billion
bytes) of main memory and 256 gigabytes of disk storage. 
Amdahl will provide customer service and support for the
SPARCsummit systems, and Cray Research will provide Amdahl
with initial training and backup support.

"Amdahl has widened its focus to meet customer needs for
high end open systems," said Joseph Zemke, Amdahl President
and CEO.  "We are partnering with third parties like Cray
Research to offer our customers the most powerful business
solutions on the market.  This partnership with Cray Research
increases the range of hardware and software we offer."

Zemke said the SPARCsummit 6400E branded products will run
the Solaris operating environment with significant Amdahl and
Cray data-center extensions for systems management, file
management, software distribution, tape management and
process management. "Amdahl and Cray Research are working
closely with Sun to make Solaris the most capable open
systems environment available for enterprise-wide
computing."

Bobbi Hazard, Vice President of Cray Research's Business
Systems division, said, "We're very pleased that Amdahl will
be remarketing our superserver systems because of Amdahl's
strong distribution channel, experience in the commercial
mainframe sector, and long history of strong customer
relationships and high-quality service."

"The CS6400 systems are the first high end, scalable servers
to combine the strong price/performance of SPARC products
with the reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS)
features data center managers expect," she said.  The systems,
which began shipping in February 1994, have set new
performance and price/performance records on the TPC-B and
other industry-standard and customer benchmarks.  Hazard
noted that prior to this agreement, leading United Kingdom
insurer Churchill Insurance recently ordered two CS6400
systems through Amdahl Corporation for high end, mission-
critical on-line transaction processing (OLTP) using Oracle.

Zemke said these enterprise class, shared memory
multiprocessor servers address the high end commercial UNIX
market as well as technical UNIX users.  The superserver
systems will be of special interest to Fortune 1000 companies
employing open systems client/server architectures requiring
mainframe performance and robustness with workstation
price/performance for applications such as OLTP, DSS and data
warehousing.  The superserver systems address the needs of a
wide range of industries, including telecommunications,
utilities, retail, financial services, manufacturing, health
care, petrochemical and transportation.

Amdahl Corporation is a major supplier of large scale
mainframe computers, UNIX system software and servers, data
storage subsystems, data communications products,
application development software, and a variety of educational
and consulting services.  Amdahl products are sold in more
than thirty countries for use across all types of computing
environments.

The CS6400 systems are produced by Cray Research
Superservers, part of Cray's Business Systems division.  Data
warehouse, decision support, transaction processing and
multimedia applications that challenge current technologies
are the targets for this new line of highly scalable commercial
platforms.  Cray Research provides the leading high-
performance computing tools and services to help solve
customers' most challenging problems.
