SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
PacerShare and PacerPrint for Solaris x86
Pacer Software is now offering its PacerShare(R) and PacerPrint(R)
software for Macintosh(R) file and print sharing in networks
running SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 and Solaris SPARC(R) software
environments.
PacerShare is an AFP 2.1-compliant AppleShare(R) file server that
simplifies the sharing of files and documents across heterogeneous
enterprise networks. It allows a host system running Solaris
operating software to act as a Macintosh file server. This enables
Macintosh users to share files with users on other popular network
operating systems, including Solaris,
PC-NFS(R), NetWare(R) for UNIX(R) and LAN Manager(R) for UNIX.
PacerPrint is a standard Solaris print spooling daemon which
interfaces to Solaris print job queuing, status reporting and
error handling routines. Macintosh users select PacerPrint
spoolers in the Chooser, just as they would choose a
LaserWriter(R). Print jobs sent to a PacerPrint spooler are
processed at once, freeing the Macintosh from print-related
delays. PacerPrint also allows Solaris users to print directly to
PostScript(TM) printers on the AppleTalk(R) network, automatically
converting text files into PostScript files.
PacerShare and PacerPrint take full advantage of the power of the
Solaris software environment, delivering high-performance scalable
Macintosh file serving and flexible printer configuration and
usage. These well integrated services allow customers to gain the
most from Macintosh resources in an enterprise computing scheme.
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, 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. It 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 in
the Solaris x86 environment.
PacerShare and PacerPrint Features and Benefits
* Integrated AppleTalk services: Allows a
Solaris server to act as a file and print server for Macintosh
LANs
* Cross-platform integration: Allows
Macintosh users to exchange files with PC servers such as PC-NFS,
LAN Manager and NetWare for UNIX
