SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS Syntax TotalNET Advanced Server for Solaris x86 TotalNET(TM) Advanced Server (TAS) network software products from Syntax(TM), now available on SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment, allow the integration of popular desktop computing platforms into heterogeneous enterprise network configurations. The TAS product family uses UNIX(R) systems as enterprise advanced LAN servers, running UNIX processes such as databases, communications gateways and network file systems. TAS allows LAN Manager(TM), NetWare(R) and Macintosh(R) clients to share data and resources through UNIX servers. TAS services include file and printer sharing, administration, DOS archiving, NetBIOS directory services, terminal emulation, security, and advanced client/server options. The TAS components -- LMserver Plus (for LAN Manager), NWserver (NetWare) and MACserver (Macintosh) -- are designed to interoperate seamlessly through the UNIX server. Individual TAS components can be purchased separately to meet specific configuration needs. They are ideal for small to medium size enterprises wishing to connect LANs or PCs to a UNIX application or communication server. A Stable, Open Platform Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX 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(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. 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. TotalNET Features and Benefits * Multiple LAN servers on Solaris systems provide resource sharing between client PCs operating as NetWare, LAN Manager, Windows for Workgroups, NT, AppleShare(R), or peer- to-peer LAN clients * Multiple protocol support for IPX, TCP/IP, NetBIOS, NetBEUI and AppleTalk on Solaris systems; allows clients to address server functions using the preferred local technology without need for changes to local PCs * UNIX system compatibility allows TAS to use UNIX file systems, security and file locking. DOS, Windows, Macintosh and UNIX LAN client applications can access and share UNIX processes including NFS(R) access, application software, communications gateways and databases * Scalable server environment for TAS operates on UNIX systems from small desktops large multi-CPU systems, in simple or highly complex configurations * Global network administration of all standard tasks, as well as tools for resource utilization, resource availability and performance management functions * Comprehensive terminal emulation to all LAN client PCs for access to UNIX application servers. TAS SNA gateway services provide access to legacy SNA systems via 3270, 5250 or other SNA methods * Shared FAX server functions accommodate incoming and outbound FAX processing; UNIX terminal users and LAN clients can participate in the TAS facsimile network * Remote printing services provide LAN client PCs access to all network resources; PCs can share files and printers whether they are attached to a dedicated network server or to a client PC * Industry standard API support includes TCP/IP sockets, NetBIOS, DCE, common file system interfaces and Named Pipes * E-mail services allow clients to choose their local mail software and still participate in enterprise messaging functions * Remote access services provide remote office or telecommuting access to the enterprise network, with complete functionality but with performance limited by the selected communications link * Data archival services allows PC data archiving to UNIX server storage, assuring protection of critical data stored throughout the enterprise For more information on the TotalNET product family, call Syntax at 206-838-2626 and ask for Sales.
