MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 1996--Sun Microsystems Computer Co. today announced that its family of SPARC-based systems running Solaris will be the first RISC platform for users of the Oracle InterOffice Suite.
Combined with Oracle's previous announcement of InterOffice Suite for PCs running Solaris, this announcement gives users the broadest selection of Oracle InterOffice Suite platforms with the simplicity and manageability of a single common advanced operating environment.
"Sun's strength in the Intranet is a perfect fit for replicated site and branch office environments with the Oracle InterOffice Suite," said Joe Vassallo, Oracle's vice president for InterOffice Suite. "Sun is unique in its ability to give customers of the Suite a range of choice, from PCs to scalable RISC systems, all running a single operating environment -- Solaris."
According to Oracle, InterOffice Suite will be released first on Solaris, since Sun's systems are the primary development platform for Oracle.
"The Oracle InterOffice Suite will extend the power of network computing," said Mark Tolliver, SMCC's vice president of market development. "With support or web clients and JAVA applets, InterOffice will enable companies to effectively deliver the next generation of client/server applications to remote sites."
Oracle InterOffice Suite
Oracle InterOffice Suite is the first business server suite for building and mass deploying windows- and web-based client/server applications.
By tightly integrating multimedia data, WebServer, and the latest messaging, workflow and document management technology, Oracle InterOffice Suite enables companies to cost effectively deploy next generation business-critical applications across thousands of networked database servers without having a system administrator at every site.
Incorporating the new Oracle7 Universal Server (release 7.3) the InterOffice Suite lets users search, access and manage data types such as audio, video and text in a consistent and simple manner.
Oracle has licensed key technology from Sun Microsystems for inclusion in Oracle InterOffice Suite, including Java and Solaris. Java is Sun's solution to the challenges of programming for the Internet and other complex networks.
Java features portability, security and advanced networking without compromising performance. To provide a complete solution for PCs, Oracle will offer a version of InterOffice Suite with Solaris for Intel tightly integrated and bundled.
Sun SPARCservers
The Oracle InterOffice Suite will be available on the full line of Solaris/SPARC systems, including the SPARCserver 20 and ULTRAserver 1 workgroup servers. With support for Intranet, Novell and Microsoft LAN protocols, Sun makes it easy to integrate PC clients and workgroups into the corporate network.
Sun's SPARCservers provide an affordable, reliable and high-performance network computing platform, simplifying the task of managing multiple business applications throughout the enterprise.
