COMDEX Fall 99
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 1999--
WinBridge, formerly codenamed jBridge, web-enables
32-bit applications for ASPs, ISVs, and the enterprise.
(COMDEX/Fall '99) GraphOn Corporation (Nasdaq:GOJO)(www.graphon.com) today announced the release of the OEM version of WinBridge(TM) (formerly codenamed jBridge(TM)), the component of its Bridges(TM) software that allows quick and easy access to Windows(R) applications over the Internet, without changing the applications code. Unlike other server-based software solutions, GraphOn WinBridge
does not require licensing of the Microsoft NT kernel to deploy
Windows applications to any desktop over any connection. Bridges,
GraphOn's thin server-based software announced earlier this year,
web-enables UNIX(R), Linux(R), and Windows applications, providing a
more complete connectivity solution for application service providers
(ASPs), independent software vendors (ISVs) and developers, and the
enterprise.
The OEM version of the WinBridge component has been licensed to
Corel Corporation and Compuware Corporation and will be available for
preview beginning November 15 at COMDEX/Fall in Las Vegas. It is
scheduled to begin shipping at the end of the month. In December,
GraphOn's current software products GO- Global, GO-Between, and GO-Joe
will be unified into one product, Bridges, giving customers additional
platform options and increased scalability. WinBridge and GraphOn's
currently shipping products may be seen at COMDEX/Fall '99 at
GraphOn's booth in the Microsoft Partners Pavilion booth #121 in
L5142, at Linux Business Expo in Corel's booth #602, and November
15-18 at the media-only Lunch@Piero's event at 355 Convention Center
Drive.
"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 GraphOn Executive Vice President, Sales and
Marketing, 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 applications
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."
In addition to UNIX, Linux, and Windows server components,
Bridges will include native Java, Linux, Windows, ActiveX, and
Windows-based Terminal thin clients. GraphOn will announce pricing,
additional client and server components, and other product details
concerning Bridges later this year.
