SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS TUXEDO System for Solaris x86 The TUXEDO(R) Enterprise Transaction Processing System is now available from Information Management Company (IMC(R)) for SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 software environment. The TUXEDO System's enhanced client/server architecture provides transaction management middleware for high-speed, high-volume commercial transaction processing in open, distributed, heterogeneous computing and RDBMS environments. The TUXEDO System improves application and RDBMS performance, and provides an API for integrating new UNIX(R) applications into other operating environments. With IMC's Open TransPort(R) for TUXEDO System, client systems running Solaris x86 can initiate transactions from within the TUXEDO System to update or retrieve data on IBM(R) MVS(TM) mainframe servers, using TCP/IP protocol in real time. Only one Open TransPort for TUXEDO System is required on a network, but more may be added to increase client access and throughput. A Stable, Open Platform Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX software 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(R), 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. It 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 in the Solaris x86 environment.
