CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 1999--
Bridges to include jBridge technology with current software products
to offer complete Web-enabling solution for ASPs, ISVs and the enterprise
GraphOn Corporation GOJO (www.graphon.com) today announced it is repositioning and renaming its family of server-based, Web-enabling software to provide a more complete solution for application service providers (ASPs), independent software vendors (ISVs) and developers and the enterprise.
In December, GraphOn's current software products will be unified under the name "Bridges"(tm), with components named for the host's operating system, rather than that of the client system. The OEM version of the WinBridge(tm) component (formerly codenamed jBridge) will be available for preview Nov. 15 at COMDEX/Fall in Las Vegas.
"We've changed our successful 'GO' series to express exactly what GraphOn does. We provide the 'Bridges' that connect any Windows, UNIX or Linux application to any desktop anywhere in the world over any connection," said Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, of GraphOn, Robin Ford. "Applications Web-enabled with Bridges are easily deployed and run at the desktop as if they are running locally, without costly software rewrites (no modifications of the application's code are required), and without a featureless page-oriented HTML or XML front end. IT managers, ISVs and ASPs can easily use the Bridges components that fit their computing needs and instantly Web-enable their applications, while lowering total cost of ownership and allowing for scalability."
GraphOn Bridges currently includes thin, native Java, Windows and multi-user NT (Terminal Server Edition) clients and the following server components:
-- UNIXBridge(tm) and LinuxBridge(tm) (formerly GlobalHost(tm))
instantly Internet-enable any UNIX or Linux application from any
Windows or Java-enabled PC or desktop device over dial-up and
Internet connections with no additional hardware and without
changing a single line of the application's code.
-- WinBridge (formerly codenamed jBridge) instantly Internet-enables
any 32-bit Windows application from any Windows or Java-enabled
PC or desktop device over dial-up or Internet connections with no
additional hardware and without changing a single line of the
application's code.
GraphOn will announce pricing, additional clients and server components, and other product details concerning Bridges later this year.
