SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
Systems Strategies/Apertus EXPRESS for Solaris x86
Systems Strategies/Apertus EXPRESS(R) communications software
products are now available to link systems running SunSoft's
Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment to IBM(R) mainframe and
AS/400 systems. The EXPRESS product family comprises high-
performance, easy-to-use software for SNA connectivity, IBM
terminal emulation, application development and data access.
EXPRESS SNA Server is a full-featured implementation of IBM's
System Network Architecture that provides communications between
Solaris systems and IBM mainframe or AS/400 systems running over
SNA/SDLC, QLLC or Token Ring. The EXPRESS Integrated Desktop
provides IBM 3270, 5250 and 3179-G terminal emulation, and
supports CPI-C, EHLLAPI, LUA and NetView applications for linking
Solaris systems to IBM mainframes, AS/400s, and TCP/IP host
systems in a multitasking desktop environment.
The EXPRESS API Software Development Kit is for development of
CPI-C, EHLLAPI, LUA and Network Management applications. The
EXPRESS Data Transfer Services package provides a series of
applications that enable users to perform bi-directional file
transfer and printer sharing, execute remote jobs, and easily
develop program-to-program applications using a common interface
for simple LU6.2 programming.
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 in the Solaris x86 environment.
