PacerShare & PacerPrint

Integrated AppleTalk Services

PacerShare is an AFP 2.1-compliant AppleShare file server for Sun SPARCª, Hewlett-Packard 9000 Series 700/800, and DEC OSF/1¨ systems that combines desktop access to your network's data storage capacity with the convenience and transparency unique to Macintosh systems. PacerPrint provides the added benefit of making PostScript printers available to the entire network.

Cross-platform Integration

PacerShare eliminates the problems associated with sharing files and documents across the enterprise. PacerShare lets a UNIX host act as a large Macintosh file server and enables Macintosh users to transparently share files with users operating in the hostÕs UNIX environment. Further, data sharing between Macintosh users and PC users operating under other popular network operating systems including, LAN Manager for UNIX, NetWare for UNIX, and PC-NFS, is supported by PacerShare. System administrators can provide file sharing for a diverse desktop community while using a single hardware platform.

Fast, Scalable Performance

Benchmark MacWEEK, Digital Review, and SunWorld studies recommended Pacer products and cited our high-performance, multi-platform file server for exceptional performance. PacerShare takes advantage of powerful RISC UNIX environments to deliver high performance, scalable Macintosh file serving for up to 2000 users per server.

Bulletproof Security and Top-notch Administration

Access to PacerShare volumes and files conforms with native UNIX login validation and file system protections. A PacerShare user can examine and change only those files he would have access to if he were logged in as a terminal user.

PacerAdmin lets administrators create, examine, modify, and delete file server users, groups, volumes, and spoolers from any Macintosh on the network. PacerAdmin's easy-to-use Macintosh interface also lets system managers monitor user logins, volume usage, and print queue activity.

Network Printing Flexibility

PacerPrint is a standard UNIX print spooling daemon that interfaces to the print job queuing, status reporting, and error handling provided by the UNIX print system. Macintosh users select PacerPrint spoolers in the Chooser Ð exactly as they would choose a LaserWriter. Print jobs sent to a PacerPrint spooler are processed immediately, freeing the user's Macintosh from the delays associated with printing directly to a LaserWriter. In addition to providing Macintosh users with access to UNIX-resident printers, PacerPrint also lets UNIX users print directly to PostScript printers on the AppleTalk network, automatically converting text files into PostScript. PacerPrint offers complete flexibility in determining the location of PostScript printers on a network.

The PacerShare and PacerPrint Advantage Pacer Software's integrated file and print services for UNIX computers let you make the most of your corporate hardware investments with a minimum of effort.
