Compaq cancelled CMP server plans: Unisys

BLUE BELL: Business information systems maker Unisys Corp. said on Tuesday

that PC producer Compaq Computer Corp. has canceled its marketing plans for

servers based on Unisys' Cellular MultiProcessing (CMP) architecture.



The CMP-based server provides capabilities required for e-business computing
that are common in large-scale systems but "unprecedented in computing

environments using Microsoft (Corp.) and Intel (Corp.) technology," Unisys

said in a statement. Unisys president, George Gazerwitz said the company

regretted Compaq's decision to discontinue the marketing plans, but it was

encouraged by the strength of its CMP partnership with software leader

IBM eServer combines Domino, Microsoft Outlook

NEW DELHI: IBM has announced a new eServer software solution that combines

the power of Lotus Domino with the ease of Microsoft Outlook to reduce the

number of servers necessary to run multiple Outlook clients in an enterprise.

iNotes Access for Microsoft Outlook allows customers to consolidate multiple

Exchange servers onto a single iSeries Domino server, delivering significant

cost reduction and vastly improved function, reliability and security.



A single fully configured IBM eServer Dedicated Server for Domino (DSD) is
capable of handling from 1,000 to 10,000 mail and calendar users. Announced last

year, the new DSD is designed to handle high volumes of specific tasks in an

e-business infrastructure. Using iSeries DSD, customers can deploy multiple

Domino workloads on a single, easy to manage, reliable server.



In addition to cost savings, Microsoft Office users who migrate Outlook clients
gain significant reliability and scalability, continued use of Outlook with no

change to its look, feel and ease of use. Users also gain access to Domino

features unavailable on Exchange, such as "replication on the fly" in

a mobile environment, Domino messaging, full-text search capability, and native

support for Internet standards such as Simple Mail Transport

Protocol/Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions (SMTP/MIME) and Hypertext Markup

Language (HTML).-CNS
