SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
Information Dimensions' BASISplus for Solaris x86
Information Dimensions, Inc. (IDI), a world leader in document
retrieval and management technology, is now offering BASISplus(R)
software for SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment. The
BASISplus client/server architecture combines three core enabling
technologies: content-based document retrieval that captures and
reuses expert knowledge, a powerful RDBMS optimized for document
management, and the ability to link images and sounds to documents
for simultaneous retrieval with related text phrases.
Unlike many text retrieval-only products, BASISplus focuses on
ensuring the accuracy and security of the database, essential
concerns when documents are shared across departments and
computing platforms. BASISplus excels in five key document
management functions:
* Find the answer, by whatever means it takes
* Manage the document collection so that the answers are
accurate and up-to-date
* Control access to protect confidential information and
respect user interest profiles
* Distribute documents or document components across dissimilar
devices
* Integrate with existing applications and support preferred
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(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.
