B: GraphOn Named LinuxWorld Show Favorite; Show Attendees Pick the Best
Products
CAMPBELL, Calif., Aug 13, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) --
GraphOnCorporation (www.graphon.com) (OTC BB:GOJO), a leading provider
of thin, server-based connectivity software, was named one of the best
companies distributing communications products for Linux by attendees
at this week's LinuxWorld Conference & Expo trade show.
Attendees cast their ballots using web-based kiosks on the show floor
to select their favorites in various categories.
GraphOn's thin, server-based software products, GO-Joe(tm),
GO-Global(tm), and GO-Between(tm) deliver business-critical UNIX(R) and
Linux applications over the Internet and dial-up connections unchanged
to PCs , Java-enabled devices and browsers, and Windows-based
Terminals.
Utilizing GraphOn's thin wire RapidX protocol, application processing
is done on the server, graphics are displayed at the desktop, and only
a tiny applet or native Windows client less than 100k is required on
the desktop.
"Being named a show favorite is a tremendous honor," said Dean
Prelazzi, Director of Strategic Marketing at GraphOn. "LinuxWorld
attendees are the most knowledgeable about the best Linux products on
the market, and we were delighted that they recognize our revolutionary
web-enabling technology for delivering Linux applications to any
desktop," said Prelazzi.
The Show Favorites awards were sponsored by LinuxWorld magazine. Nick
Petreley, editorial director for the magazine presented plaques to
representatives of the winning companies. Petreley said the purpose of
the awards is to draw attention to the best Linux distributors and
for-Linux programs available.
Earlier this week GraphOn entered into an agreement with AVCOM
Technologies, Inc., one of Sun Microsystems' largest U.S. VARs, to
license GraphOn's web-enabling software as an essential element of
MyIntranet(SM), part of AVCOM's comprehensive Applications Service
Provider (ASP) service and portal, WebHarbor.com. The company also has
strategic partnerships with International Business Machines, Sun
Microsystems, Corel Corporation and othercompanies.
