ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 1999-- Dell's Factory-Install of Interix Software Allows Customers to Maintain UNIX Application Performance at Lower Hardware Cost Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL.O), the world's leading direct computer systems company, today announced availability of Interix(tm) software from Softway Systems Inc. as a DellPlus factory-install option on Dell Precision(tm) WorkStations. Interix allows customers to run their UNIX applications side-by-side with Windows(R) NT applications on the Intel processors in Dell's workstation products. Interix, which is a native UNIX subsystem, eases customer migration from a proprietary UNIX/RISC environment to a more flexible NT/Intel solution with no loss in application performance. Softway Systems has entered into a long-term, binding agreement with The Open Group, owners of the UNIX trademark, to certify Interix as a fully-compliant UNIX product. "Customers who are hesitant to move to the true open standards provided by Dell now have one less reason to wait," said Linda Hargrove, vice president, Dell Precision WorkStations. "As an example, UNIX applications developed for Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating system can now run on Dell Precision WorkStations with exceptional performance, and at a lower cost per seat. Dell's factory-install program allows customers to spend less time on system administration." Dell shared the No. 1 position in the worldwide personal workstation market for the 1998 calendar year(a). Interix is available now as a factory-install option on all Dell Precision WorkStations products initially in the United States, Canada and Latin America. A full list of prices and configurations for these systems can be found on the World Wide Web at dell.com. Dell Precision WorkStations are intended for professional users who demand exceptional performance in the computer-aided design (CAD), digital content creation (DCC), expert office, geographic information systems (GIS), computer animation, software development and financial analysis markets. Dell Precision WorkStations are designed to support Windows(R) 2000. All of Dell's workstation products are dual-processor-capable. The Dell Precision WorkStation 210 and 410 are based on the Intel(R) Pentium(R) II or Pentium III processor, and the Dell Precision WorkStation 610 is based on the Intel Pentium II Xeon(tm) processor. Dell's Global Alliance Program has built strategic alliances with leading software application vendors, providing customers a full range of business-critical solutions certified and factory-tested for its Dell Precision WorkStations.
