Tenchusatsu & Intel Investors - Meanwhile, Unix For Intel Servers Continues to advance.

SCO is demoing at CeBIT their new version of UnixWare.

Hint to SCUMbria - they DID NOT DEMO it on the 600 MHz K7.

Note that the updated version of UnixWare is designed to run on the upcoming 8-Way Intel-based servers using the new Profusion Chip Set.

SCO pulls curtain on UnixWare 7 data center

By Terho Uimonen InfoWorld Electric

Posted at 8:51 AM PT, Mar 18, 1999 HANOVER, Germany -- SCO Thursday introduced a high-end version of its UnixWare operating system for data center applications on servers powered by Intel processors.

Aimed squarely at the enterprise market, UnixWare 7 Data Center Edition is the most powerful operating system for high-end Intel servers to hit the market, SCO officials said here at the opening day of the CeBit trade show.

Designed to run on servers powered by multiple Intel processors, the latest addition to the UnixWare line will allow enterprises to benefit from the lower costs resulting from standard hardware and service offerings available from multiple vendors, said Doug Michels, SCO's president and CEO.

"It gives the power back to the end-user," Michels said. "The bottom line is lower costs and better systems at better prices."

In related news, Intel is readying to ship the long-awaited Profusion chip set, which will allow up to eight-way servers, doubling the processor count in Intel-based servers. The first eight-way servers designed around the Profusion chip set are scheduled to hit the market by mid-year, said Pat Gelsinger, vice president and general manager of the company's desktop products group.

Representatives from several hardware vendors, including Compaq, IBM, ICL, Sequent Computer Systems, and Unisys, said they plan to offer the data center edition of UnixWare to enterprise customers.

Shipments of SCO's version of the Unix operating system last year grew 58.5 percent during 1997, faster than any other Unix offering on the server market, according to Framingham, Mass.-based market researcher International Data Corp. (IDC).

And with Thursday's announcement "UnixWare is moving upmarket," said Dan Kusnetzky, program director, operating environments and server software at IDC.

UnixWare 7 Data Center Edition ships in standard configuration with support for up to 32GB of main memory and eight processors. Available now, the server operating system is priced at $9,999 with licenses for 150 users.

Intel Investors - Good News from CeBIT

HANOVER, Germany, March 18 (Reuters) - Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) said on Thursday that it saw no reason to change its outlook for the first quarter of 1999, despite signs of slack demand at two of its largest customers. "We are still comfortable with the estimates we've given," Pat Gelsinger, general manager of the company's desktop products group, told Reuters at the CeBIT trade fair.

Intel in February said demand remains strong although first quarter sales would be down from the fourth quarter's $7.6 billion on seasonal factors. Gross profit margins will also be down slightly from the fourth quarter. In the last several weeks, Compaq Computer Corp (NYSE:CPQ), the world's largest PC maker, said first quarter sales had softened. That followed a report from Dell Computer Corp (NASDAQ:DELL) in which its fourth quarter revenue grew 38 percent but still fell short of expectations.

Gelsinger said some estimates for PC demand may have been off the mark because of the year 2000 glitch that companies are racing to fix before the end of the year. "I think people were expecting an acceleration (of demand) in the first half because of Y2K, and we don't see that now," he said. "We may see that in the second half instead." frankfurt.newsroom@reuters.com)) Copyright 1999, Reuters News Service

These are news articles that I am posting from the REAL WORLD

They appear in prominent publications. In Saudi Arabia every access to every web site from any computer in the country is currently monitored.

Prior to the Intel CPU-ID it was not possible to track internet useage to a physical location without some pretty sophisticated technology. (See the case of Kevin Mitnick)
