Reliant HA
High Availability Clustering Solutions

ReliantHA is a clustering solution for enterprises requiring high levels of application and data availability. Businesses today are increasingly dependent on large servers to support their information processing needs, and any interruption in these services can be enormously expensive. ReliantHA increases the overall availability of applications and critical data by connecting multiple servers together as nodes within a single high-availability fail-over cluster. Applications do not need to be aware of the operation of the cluster, and all nodes within the cluster may be used simultaneously for processing.

ReliantHA extends the high performance, Reliability, Availability and Scalability (RAS) characteristics of the UnixWare server operating system editions to provide continuous monitoring and fault detection of applications, resources, and entire nodes. In the event of a failure, automated recovery scripts are initiated to enable rapid or transparent restoration of services, depending on the application. Recovery actions include the unattended restart of resources, switching to alternative data paths, or migrating services to other systems within the cluster. Once a failed node has been replaced or repaired it may be returned to service in the active cluster. A graphical Configuration Manager provides a single point of control for the entire cluster.

ReliantHA is ideal for increasing the availability of business critical applications such as transaction processing, database, web, file and print services.

Merge 5
DOS/Windows Interoperability

NeTraverse Merge 5.3 provides customers with the powerful capability of utilizing Windows ® ME, Windows 98, and DOS ® applications concurrently with their mission critical UNIX ® business applications on SCO OpenServer ™ Release 5, or UnixWare ® 7 platforms. This allows customers to reduce their overall infrastructure investment by minimizing the number of servers and desktop workstations in their environment. With fewer servers and desktop platforms, customers can not only reduce the amount of money they spend on hardware, but also lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by having fewer platforms to administer. NeTraverse Merge 5.3.x, which can now be installed on UnixWare 7.1.2 and UnixWare 7.1.3 systems as well on SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 and 5.0.6 systems, includes the following features:

  • Support for Windows ME, Windows 98 (including Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows 98 Upgrade), Windows 95, and DOS operating systems along with many DOS and Windows applications.
  • Support for Microsoft Windows VNET Networking on SCO OpenServer systems, allowing SCO Merge users, UNIX users and native Microsoft Windows systems to share files and print facilities via the Microsoft ® Windows Network Neighborhood.
  • Support for current web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and 6 as well as versions 4.x, 6.x and 7 of Netscape Communicator ™. A wide variety of personal and office productivity tools such as Microsoft Office 2000 ™ and Outlook ™ are also supported.
  • Support for audio playback including use of several popular Windows audio playback applications when configured in conjunction with the OSS sound drivers for UNIX from 4Front Technologies. (The OSS sound drivers are not included with NeTraverse Merge and must be purchased separately from 4Front Technologies.) Information regarding 4Front Technologies is available on the World Wide Web at: http://www.4front-tech.com
  • "Zoomless" installation of Windows. A UNIX console is not required to be present during the installation of Windows. This increases not only the ease of installation but also enables Windows to be installed on Merge from a remote X-client device.

Advanced File and Print Server

SCO® Advanced File and Print Server adds Microsoft® networking technology to SCO UnixWare 7.1.3, SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 and OpenServer 5.0.7 to form a network operating system that is fully compatible with Windows NT Server.

With support for MS-DOS®, OS/2® and Windows® clients, Advanced Server can be used as a simple file and print server for a small community of users, or as the foundation for a large distributed network.

With Advanced Server, SCO delivers the full features of a business-critical server to the workgroup computing environment, where Windows has emerged as the de facto standard desktop.

UnixWare 7 Disk Mirroring 3.2

UnixWare 7 Disk Mirroring provides increased data availability by providing fault tolerance against disk failures and faster access via software RAID Level 1 (simple disk mirroring). By adding a second disk to the system and enabling Disk Mirroring, administrators will automatically have access to their business-critical data should one disk fail. Designed to work with off-the-shelf disk storage subsystems, UnixWare 7 Disk Mirroring provides a very cost-effective high-availability data storage solution.

UnixWare 7 Online Data Manager 3.2

UnixWare 7 Online Data Manager 3.2 is a cost-effective, enterprise-class storage management solution for high availability and online volume management. It provides software RAID Levels 0, 1, 5, 10 (striping, mirroring, striping with distributed parity and striped mirroring) as well as disk spanning capabilities. It includes a graphical Visual Administrator for exceptional ease-of-use and supports online filesystems resizing, migration and RAID level modifications.
