SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS

                 EXPRESSWAY for Solaris x86

Expressway Technologies, the leading developer of high-performance 
decision support software, is now offering its EXPRESSWAY(TM) 
Decision Support Query Accelerator for SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 
operating environment. 

EXPRESSWAY offers patent-pending indexing approaches and 
algorithms that handle queries associated particularly with 
decision support applications -- such as counts and aggregates on 
relatively large found sets from large databases -- with query 
response time improvements of up to 100 times. Typical 
applications include database marketing, financial analysis, EIS, 
general research and analysis, and data warehousing. 

EXPRESSWAY exploits the broad distributed computing capabilities 
of the Solaris environment. It is also available for Solaris 
SPARC(R), enabling users to configure a single, unified 
environment across a range of hardware platforms.

A Stable, Open Platform

Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX(R) operating 
environment for the Intel(R) x86 platform. Designed as a 
foundation for enterprise computing, it supports major industry 
standards and provides high-performance 32-bit UNIX multitasking, 
multithreading and multiuser capabilities. Solaris x86 is 
compatible with Solaris SPARC, ensuring full interoperability 
between the leading CISC (x86) and RISC (SPARC) platforms. And 
Solaris x86 is scalable from desktops to supercomputers, so that 
customers can configure heterogeneous enterprise networks and 
expand them easily as their computing needs evolve.

Solaris x86 provides native ONC+(TM) technology-based LAN and WAN 
networking to support broadly distributed computing and system 
management. Solaris also includes powerful application and 
Graphical User Interface (GUI) development tools through the 
OpenWindows(TM) facility, and a rich suite of user productivity 
applications under DeskSet(TM). Numerous commercial third-party 
applications, including many Microsoft(R) Windows and DOS 
applications, run on the Solaris x86 environment.
