The world of PC to UNIX system integration demands that a product be mature, stable, easy to use and easy to administer. SCO XVision Eclipse is designed to be the ideal solution for tight integration, while delivering the flexibility and manageability needed by the system administrators.

Error-free installation

SCO XVision Eclipse provides an extensive range of tools to ensure PC X server installation is error free. It automatically analyses potential problem areas, for example, the network check tool analyses the PCÆs TCP/IP installation to ensure the X server will function correctly. Any test that fails is reported, together with suggested solutions.

Instant resumption of X applications

Once an X application has been started with SCO XVision Eclipse, you never have to wait again for it to start up. It includes SCO Vision Resume, so you can simply suspend an X session and resume it when required. SCO Vision Resume dramatically increases user mobility by eliminating the long start-up time associated with X applications.

"We liked EclipseÆs resume feature. It let us suspend an X session, shut down or move the PC, and resume the session where we left off. This is a handy feature for mobile users."

World-class performance

SCO XVision Eclipse is automatically configured to deliver the highest achieveable performance for each PC. During installation the available drawing methods are benchmarked; the one that best exploits the full power of the PC's hardware is then recommended. The graphics resource cache delivers further performance gains by cutting out unnecessary access to the server. Finally, asynchronous communications ensure optimum use of the PC's resources.

"On the performance side . . . overall, SCO XVision Eclipse did the best"

Organize your desktop

SCO Zones, a unique feature of SCO XVision Eclipse, enables you to organize your workspace more effectively. You can use SCO Zones to create multiple virtual Windows desktops, delivering a simplified workspace and more convenient desktop management.

Flatten the learning curve

SCO XVision Eclipse exploits Windows 95 interface features and leverages users' Windows skills. They are protected from the UNIX interface, with a transparent natural extension to the Windows 95 Explorer making UNIX files as accessible as Windows files. Powerful UNIX Wizards guide the novice user through the connection process to start X applications and through the host selection process.

". . . we especially liked SCO XVision Eclipse for individual program launches because its wizard shielded us from some picky details."

Totally manageable

The user interface can be configured to ensure a consistent look for all X users and applications. Access to certain features can be restricted to experienced users, reducing user training expense. Configured interfaces and new software can be distributed with a single stroke.

Internet Aware

Using SCO XVision Eclipse, X applications can be invoked through a Web browser. The application and host information files can be embedded within Web pages and launched from the browser with SCO XVision Eclipse as a helper application. This modular approach to Web-awareness ensures complete security at the host and application level. User and password information can be encrypted, making the application and host information files portable between Web sites, with no added security risks.
