Current Version: UnixWare 7.1.3

Editions:

• Data Center Edition
• Enterprise Edition
• Departmental Edition
• Business Edition
• Base Edition
• Non-Stop Clusters Edition (NSC)

Note: SCO has renamed OpenUnix 8 back to UnixWare 7. The most current version of which is UnixWare 7.1.3. It provides a return to the UnixWare name that is trusted around the world as the premier UNIX Operating System for the Intel(R) Architecture. UnixWare 7.1.3 continues to be the right choice for companies who place a high value on the scalability, reliability and security inherent in UNIX technology based systems. While continuing the tradition of backwards compatibility for UnixWare applications, UnixWare 7.1.3 also runs Linux applications that comply with the LSB specification. Thus both UnixWare and Linux applications can run simultaneously on the same trusted SVR5 kernel. This dual capability of UnixWare 7.1.3 is unmatched in the industry.

SCO UnixWare Data Center Edition

The UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.3 Data Center Edition is the newest addition to the UnixWare 7 product line. It is designed to meet the most stringent demands on performance, scalability and availability found in the corporate data center. With support for multiple levels of redundancy and support for servers with huge disk and memory capacity, the Data Center Edition brings data center power with significant cost savings over RISC-based UNIX® server offerings. The Data Center Edition is licensed for 8 CPUs, 150 users and 32 gigabytes of memory, and can scale up from there.

Like all members of the UnixWare 7 product family, the Data Center Edition can be easily integrated with legacy systems and enables high-speed access to enterprise data through its rich networking subsystem. It includes a scalable, high-performance TCP/IP subsystem with industry-standard tools like DHCP (client and server), Sendmail 8.9.1, and Netscape Communicator, as well as many other features of Intel processor-based servers. Support for Windows File and Print services is also built-in. Coupled with a high performance, highly scalable JavaTM subsystem, UnixWare 7 enables businesses to gain excellent return on IT investment through a sound network computing architecture.

The UnixWare 7 Data Center Edition is designed to meet the performance and 24X7 availability demands of business-critical application environments. It delivers superior availability and on-line serviceability, by leveraging the latest innovations in industry standard technologies such as Hot Plug PCI, Multi-path I/O and I2O. It also allows for redundant HBAs, network cards, and real-time management of data on redundant disks and file systems. It ensures that the information critical to your business is dependable, accessible and accurate.Taken together, these technologies have achieved above 10,000 hours of continuous operation (MTBSS–mean-time-between software-stops) in SCO labs. UnixWare® 7 NonStop® Clusters takes this already high availability and scalability to a whole new level.

The UnixWare 7 Data Center Edition includes complete control of the system, the built-in UnixWare 7 Webtop, which provides complete web-browser control of the system. Administrators and users can now take advantage of the power of the UNIX® system using the familiar tools of the Web.

Fully compliant with open industry standards, Year 2000 supported and EURO-ready, the UnixWare 7 Data Center Edition provides a powerful platform for high-end system builders. While other UNIX® system vendors formulate plans for delivering UNIX® servers to the enterprise on 64-bit Intel processors in the future, SCO brings data center class technologies and performance on 32-bit Intel processors to the enterprise today, with a solid roadmap to 64-bit computing tomorrow.
