By combining the reliability and scalability of a UNIX system with the economy of Intel processors, UnixWare 7 Business Edition delivers the dependability demanded of a business application server at a cost affordable to the smallest of businesses. An edition of UnixWare 7, the most advanced OS on Intel processors, UnixWare 7 Business Edition is the ideal OS of choice for migrating your business-critical applications currently running on RISC UNIX, SCO OpenServer™ from The SCO Group or Windows NT® servers.

In addition to being an excellent applications platform, UnixWare 7 Business Edition also reliably delivers the multiple network and communications services that are essential for today's businesses. UnixWare 7 Business Edition provides file and printer sharing for UNIX, Novell and Windows clients via its bundled SCO VisionFS™ server and NetWare® UNIX client. Internet services including E-mail, web server, FTP server and remote access services have been included to meet all of the Internet needs of smaller organizations. ARCserve®IT™ from Computer Associates v6.6 has been included so that a UnixWare 7 Business Edition server can be the backup server for your Windows and UNIX clients.

Now, if you can use a web browser, you can use and administer a UNIX system server. The latest Web technology is offered via the UnixWare 7 Webtop utility that is integrated into UnixWare 7 Business Edition enabling web connectivity for management and application access. Management tools have been redesigned and made web-accessible so that administrators can manage their UnixWare 7 servers from any Java™ technology-enabled browser or Java workstation. The Webtop also provides web access to applications running on UnixWare 7, negating the need for X emulators, terminal emulators, proprietary clients, etc.

This advanced solution affords small to medium-sized businesses complete flexibility and economy in choosing the best application platform with the communications components needed for their environments. UnixWare 7 Business Edition protects your current investments by supporting easy upgrades from other platforms and compatibility with your existing client devices.
