SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
Micro Focus for Solaris x86
Micro Focus(R) Inc., the leading supplier of high-performance
COBOL development products, now offers a powerful array of UNIX(R)
application development and implementation tools for the
Solaris(TM) x86 software environment. These products are designed
for use in developing cross-platform, client/server, and mainframe
offloading solutions for organizations engaged in rightsizing to
heterogeneous enterprise networks.
Micro Focus COBOL(TM) for UNIX is a powerful compiler that fully
exploits 32-bit UNIX architectures. It supports cross-platform
compatibility at both the source and object levels, and its use of
mainframe syntax ensures a high level of mainframe support. Micro
Focus Toolbox(TM) for UNIX complements the COBOL compiler with
integrated, closely coupled tools that facilitate application
development and distribution, and improve programmer productivity.
Micro Focus Dialog System(TM) for UNIX enables developers to
easily create character-oriented user interfaces for client/server
applications, test and maintain them independently of the
application. Micro Focus Operating System Extensions(TM) for UNIX
(OSX(TM)) provides a common base of facilities across multiple
operating systems, to support transparent application portability.
A Stable, Open Platform
Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX software 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.
