PR Newswire - September 17, 1996 08:13
New Generation of Intranet Applications Enabled
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL) today
announced the immediate availability of the Enterprise and Workgroup Editions
of Oracle(R) Universal Server(R) for Novell IntranetWare. Oracle Universal
Server for IntranetWare brings together the world's most popular database
server technology and the world's leading Network Operating System, allowing
customers to build next generation enterprise class network applications for
intranets.
Oracle Universal Server for IntranetWare provides the full power of Oracle
with complete intuitive graphical administration provided by Oracle Enterprise
Manager(TM) and NetWare Administrator. Oracle Universal Server, the
industry's first network computing database, allows users to manage and
deliver any type of data, including relational, spatial, graphics or text in
any application to any number of users.
"The immediate availability of Oracle Universal Server for IntranetWare
reinforces our commitment to the Novell server platform and demonstrates our
continued leadership in bringing state of the art database server technology
to IntranetWare. Oracle continues to provide the large installed base of
customers relying on NetWare today, the ability to leverage their investment
and build scalable applications with Oracle Server technologies," said Gary
Bloom, senior vice president of Oracle's Product and Platform Technologies
Division.
"Oracle Universal Server for IntranetWare complements Novell's
intranet/Internet network application strategy by providing the world's
leading database server on the leading intranet platform and provides Novell's
customers the ability to build tomorrow's network applications today." said
Denice Y. Gibson, senior vice president and general manager, Distributed
Networks Business Unit. "With IntranetWare, Novell is giving
organizations an intranet platform upon which they can add Oracle Universal
Server for database support, ManageWise for management support, and GroupWise
for messaging support to create full-service intranets that are all integrated
into the directory, and take advantage of the Web, security, file, print,
management, database and messaging services."
A New Generation of Application Development
Oracle's recently announced editions of Designer/2000 and Developer/2000
allow NetWare developers to easily create and maintain both client/server and
intranet applications from the same tool set. Designer/2000 for the Web
enhances the popular WebServer Generator feature of Oracle's modeling and
design tool and generates On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) applications
for corporate intranets and the Internet. Developer/2000, Oracle's second
generation client/server development tool for the enterprise, dynamically
creates and publishes high-fidelity database reports over internal and
external Web-based networks.
The Oracle7 Server and NetBasic on IntranetWare also support powerful
intranet application development. With this tool, developers can use Novell's
NetWare Web Server to build dynamic Web pages to query data from an Oracle
database.
Tight Integration with IntranetWare
Oracle continues a long tradition of firsts in offering its database
technology on IntranetWare. With full support for Symmetric Multiprocessing
(SMP), Oracle enables enterprise class scalability for applications built on
NetWare, while an innovative Memory Protection Module (MPM), introduced in
this release delivers unparalleled reliability and robustness. By fully
integrating security with Novell Directory Services (NDS), Oracle allows
flexibility and ease of use in managing next generation network applications.
Because new users are created in NDS alone, they are immediately and fully
empowered to use database applications. By creating a new NDS object, the
Oracle Instance object, administrators can fully abstract the Oracle Service
and allow transparent access to Oracle via name service resolution. This
greatly reduces the administration overhead for larger networks and reduces
network traffic by removing the need for the Service Advertising Protocol
(SAP) to advertise the Oracle Service on the network.
Oracle continues to expand its relationship with Novell in bringing
best-of-breed technologies together to better serve our customers in their
efforts to build next generation solutions for intranets and the Internet. As
the industry moves towards the Network Computing model in which applications
and services on the network become far more distributed to take advantage of
available processing power, Oracle and Novell are uniquely positioned to offer
significant advantage to its customers.
