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.
