SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS Systems Strategies/Apertus EXPRESS for Solaris x86 Systems Strategies/Apertus EXPRESS(R) communications software products are now available to link systems running SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment to IBM(R) mainframe and AS/400 systems. The EXPRESS product family comprises high- performance, easy-to-use software for SNA connectivity, IBM terminal emulation, application development and data access. EXPRESS SNA Server is a full-featured implementation of IBM's System Network Architecture that provides communications between Solaris systems and IBM mainframe or AS/400 systems running over SNA/SDLC, QLLC or Token Ring. The EXPRESS Integrated Desktop provides IBM 3270, 5250 and 3179-G terminal emulation, and supports CPI-C, EHLLAPI, LUA and NetView applications for linking Solaris systems to IBM mainframes, AS/400s, and TCP/IP host systems in a multitasking desktop environment. The EXPRESS API Software Development Kit is for development of CPI-C, EHLLAPI, LUA and Network Management applications. The EXPRESS Data Transfer Services package provides a series of applications that enable users to perform bi-directional file transfer and printer sharing, execute remote jobs, and easily develop program-to-program applications using a common interface for simple LU6.2 programming. 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(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 in the Solaris x86 environment.
