SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
ObjectStore from Object Design for Solaris x86
ObjectStore(TM), the market-leading object-oriented DBMS from
Object Design, Inc.(R), is now available for SunSoft's Solaris(TM)
x86 operating environment. This high-performance distributed
client/server DBMS is designed to serve a variety of complex
applications, including engineering design, telecommunications and
digital media, business re-engineering, client/server MIS, health
care, and financial modeling and simulation.
ObjectStore achieves superior performance and ease of use through
its innovative Virtual Memory Mapping Architecture. Its
transparent interface is ideally suited for use with popular C,
C++ and Smalltalk(TM) development environments, and its
interactive browser enables efficient inspection of objects and
object descriptions. ObjectStore provides an easy migration path
for C applications.
Distribution and transaction management gives workgroup members
concurrent access to objects. ObjectStore offers advanced database
functions such as data integrity, version control, query
processing, two-phase commit, online backup and restore, and a
multi-client/multi-server architecture.
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.
