UnixWare ® 7.1.1
Base Edition

Exceptionally Adaptable Platform for Specialized Server Solutions

The UnixWare® 7 Release 7.1.1 Base Edition operating system is the most advanced operating environment for network-centric, client/server or host-based business-critical systems using industry-standard Intel processors. Powered by the new SVR5 multitasking dynamic kernel, it is the ideal foundation for creating turnkey solutions where reliability and low cost are critical. Designed as a platform for building specialized systems, the Base Edition can be easily augmented with a powerful line of UnixWare 7 Optional Services that provide scalability extensions, reliability and availability extensions, file and print services, additional intranet services and messaging extensions.

The Base Edition provides all the key system services required for a standalone or networked platform including powerful multi-tasking support, unsurpassed scalability, fast TCP/IP networking, Internet mail services, Java and market-leading Netscape® Web-server technology. The system is loaded with ease-of-use and ease-of-management features, with particularly strong remote-management capabilities that work equally well over a dial-up or networked connection via the exciting new UnixWare 7 Webtop based on Tarantella web-enabling technology. System management can be performed via a character interface or graphical point-and-click SCOadmin managers. Administrators can completely automate batch processing or schedule routine administration tasks for off-peak, unattended completion by leveraging the Base Edition™s powerful scripting tools and system utilities.

You can easily tailor the Base Edition to maximize available hardware resources for dedicated-purpose solutions. It delivers the freedom of choice provided by industry standardcomponents and unparalleled reliability for deploying business-critical servers to deliver specialized functions such as computer telephony or self-service kiosks.
