UnixWare ® 7.1.1
Departmental Edition

Delivers the Power and Reliability of UNIX Systems with the Performance and Economy of Intel Platforms
Sample Departmental Server Deployment

The UnixWare® 7 Release 7.1.1 Departmental Edition operating system is an advanced network computing server that brings the power and reliability of UNIX systems to departmental database and applications servers for medium and large business computing. Designed to deliver excellent performance on standard servers exploiting the Intel® Pentium® processor family, the Departmental Edition provides exceptional value by maximizing IT investment and ensuring freedom of choice.

The Departmental Edition provides integrated support of diverse clients. The UnixWare 7 Webtop offers a browser interface for use by all client types, enabling seamless access on mixed-client networks. UnixWare 7 enables access from any client – terminals, NCs and PCs – without additional client-side software. UnixWare 7 also provides a broad range of integrated server features such as the Netscape FastTrack Server,™ a Java runtime environment, Windows file and print services and system backup. This network computing platform helps enable businesses to be more competitive through the productivity and cost benefits of web-enabled applications without forcing a complete IT revolution or rendering existing clients obsolete.

The Departmental Edition makes a server easy to deploy, manage and maintain with point-and-click SCOadmin. The server is easily managed from anywhere using a web browser via the integrated UnixWare 7 Webtop functionality and enables complete remote control with server-group and distributed server management features. System management tools improve administrator productivity and maximize system uptime while drastically reducing total cost of ownership. With built-in availability and reliability features that protect against hardware failures, it is a highly dependable platform for running departmental applications that automate business processes or for sharing business-critical information.

This next-generation operating environment provides complete flexibility in choosing the best application architecture and the right clients for maximizing the benefits of IT investment. Fully compliant with open industry standards, Year 2000 supported and EURO ready, its core components such as the filesystem and system libraries are 64-bit ready. UnixWare 7 is a strategic platform that is widely supported by the industry's leading OEMs and ISVs, ensuring easy migration from existing platforms and maximum investment protection.
