LINDON, Utah, Jul 19, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- The SCO Group, Inc. (SCO) (Nasdaq: SCOX), today announced industry support and adoption of UnixWare 7.1.4, the newest version of SCO's high-end, flagship operating system. Many OEMs and ISVs have either completed, or are in the process of certifying, their hardware and software for UnixWare 7.1.4. The availability of certified solutions gives customers the assurance that vendors have embraced UnixWare and recognize it as an important platform for their customer base.
Channel partners are responding to customer demand for the new features in UnixWare 7.1.4 and are taking advantage of UnixWare training offered by SCO. The training programs are designed to assist veteran UnixWare channel partners update their skills to encompass the new features, as well as offer training to new UnixWare channel partners.
Some comments from some of these partners, resellers and customers include:
"As a long-time SCO customer, we've come to count on the reliable nature of SCO UnixWare," said Ian McMaster of Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation. "With more than 900 Shoppers Drug Mart, Pharmaprix and Shoppers Home Health Care stores throughout Canada, it's vital that our business runs on a stable, proven, low-cost operating system. SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 continues the tradition of delivering the type of operating system that we need to effectively run each of our stores."
"The release of SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 represents an important upgrade for SCO customers," said Niel Powers, Vice President, Application Development and Deployment Products, of Progress Software. "This UNIX-based environment gives our OpenEdge(TM) customers a wider range of options to develop, deploy, integrate, and manage valuable business applications on an industry-recognized platform. On this and other popular operating systems, Progress OpenEdge specializes in speeding the delivery of flexible enterprise applications to all corners of the organization, improving effectiveness and productivity without increasing resources or cost."
"To maintain our commitment in providing high quality information systems to our business, we chose SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 to gain access to the newest features and benefits of this robust and proven operating system," said Malcolm Mole, IS Project Manager at Dollond & Aitchison. "The stability and reliability of UnixWare was a key element in making the decision to upgrade to 7.1.4. However, the icing on the cake for us was the platform's ability to work with the latest Java technologies."
"Supporting the UNIX(R) community has been an extremely important focus for our company and our customers for more than 20 years," said Tom Podnar, President of Microlite Corporation. "Because SCO UnixWare comes with a long pedigree of proven reliability and stability, it was easy for our company to make the case for certification to SCO UnixWare 7.1.4. With this certification, Microlite BackupEDGE customers can continue to deploy a complete and dependable backup and disaster recovery solution that is both easy to use and inexpensive -- on an equally cost-effective operating system."
"Customers will now be able to do more with UnixWare than ever before -- especially those small to midsized businesses," said Deepak Thadani, president of SysIntegrators, LLC. "The addition of new features, like Java and Web Services technologies, makes UnixWare 7.1.4 a good solution for customers today and in the future."
"From a cost and performance standpoint, SCO UnixWare represents a tremendous market choice for our customers," said Kang Man Lee, President at Tmax Soft. "We, at Tmax Soft, see definite value in certifying to this award- winning operating environment, giving our customers access to one of the most reliable, scalable and fault resistant operating systems on the market. Tmax Soft's JEUS J2EE application server has been architected to provide industry leading performance and reliability."
"We continue to see strong demand for solutions with the power and scalability that come from UNIX-based products," said Daniel Tracy, vice president of Team1 Systems. "The addition of a full featured small business product to the UnixWare platform should be an attractive option for our customers."
Other companies providing hardware support and software certification for SCO UNIX include: BEA, Dell, HP, Acer, Intel, Fujitsu, and others. For more information on SCO UnixWare 7.1.4, please contact a SCO representative or visit our Website at www.sco.com/products/unixware714.
