SCO Deploys OpenServer Kernel Personality
The SCO Group, Inc., the owner of the UNIX operating system, announced the
availability of OpenServer Kernel Personality (OKP) for customers who want the
additional power of UnixWare for their OpenServer applications. Building upon
the reliability of OpenServer, UnixWare provides the capability for OpenServer
applications to leverage the increased scalability, performance, CPU support,
and clustering technology available for UnixWare without the need to invest in
costly migration projects.
OKP contains Xenix compatibility and supports OpenServer 5.0.4, 5.0.5, 5.0.6
and the latest 5.0.7 release. Many applications that were written for current
and older versions of OpenServer, including SCO UNIX, SCO OpenDesktop, that
run on OpenServer 5.0.4 or later release, will run on OKP. "OpenServer has an
excellent track record and reputation for reliability and availability and it
continues to be developed and maintained. OKP on UnixWare helps customers gain
greater uptime because UnixWare 7.1.3 supports hot plug CPU, hot add memory,
and hot plug PCI thus eliminating unnecessary downtime," said Janet Sullivan,
Senior Manager, Product Marketing, for SCO. "For customers that have a need
for these benefits, OKP is ideal because it protects your investment in
OpenServer applications and avoids costly end-user re-training."
"OKP provides more choices for OpenServer customers," said Jeff Hunsaker,
senior vice president of marketing, SCO. "They can choose to continue to
update their OpenServer environments, or they can use UnixWare 7.1.3 with OKP.
Either way, the customer is assured that their investment in OpenServer
applications is protected."
