"SCO is pleased to offer a product like Tarantella for significant 64-bit platforms like Monterey/64 and 64-bit Linux," said Peter Bondar, vice president of Tarantella marketing at SCO.

ASPs will benefit from the enhanced performance of the new Itanium, as well as the scalability that Tarantella offers."
SCO will ship the Tarantella product line concurrent with system availability of the Itanium processor-based servers and workstations.
"Tarantella represents another exciting business-critical solution committed to be available during the second half of this year, when Itanium processor-based systems begin to ship," said Michael Pope, director of Intel's Enterprise Software Programs. "This combination will offer an additional choice for e-Business solutions."
