SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
BLAST Professional for Solaris x86
BLAST(R) Professional for SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating
environment offers high-performance, error-free asynchronous file
transfer, terminal emulation and network management capabilities
for heterogeneous configurations. BLAST software runs on a wide
range of hardware and more than 30 operating systems, and operates
over asynchronous point-to-point circuits, DECNET, X.25,
multiplexors, OSI networks and in other demanding environments.
The advanced BLAST protocol features adaptive data compression,
CRC validation of data and control blocks, and full duplex
simultaneous send/receive operation. BLAST provides reliable
throughput even on noisy lines and circuits susceptible to
propagation delays, such as satellite-routed calls, LANs and X.25
packet-switching networks. An advanced English-like scripting
language and powerful command set facilitate the creation of
customized user menus and automated communications procedures,
such as automatic polling of multiple sites or distribution of
upgrades, data or e-mail.
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 on the Solaris x86 environment.
