OpenServer 6 Upgrade Motivators
Key upgrade motivators include:
- Large file support (up to 1 terabyte) and kernel-level threading via a new SVR5 kernel enables OpenServer customers to take advantage of more modern and a wider variety of applications including thousands of applications written for UNIX, Java, PostgreSQL, mySQL, KDE, and Web Services as well as UnixWare 7.1.4 applications.
- Multiprocessor support increases from 4 to 32 processors and increased memory support increases to 64GB thus enabling customers to take advantage of cutting edge hardware.
- OpenServer pricing and licensing changes provide customers twice the number of users, four times the number of CPUs and 4GB memory support for the same price as OpenServer 5.0.7.
- Single certification for both OpenServer 6.x and UnixWare 7.1.x applications gives ISVs/IHVs and VSPs exposure to a broader SCO UNIX customer base.
- Integrates new applications including Apache 1.3, MySQL, and Samba
- Good product margin for partners with excellent upgrade opportunities with established customer base
