The UnixWare price reductions are designed to meet customer needs for next generation 32-bit operating system technology that takes advantage of the processing power available from the millions of advanced Intel-based computers shipping each month. UnixWare enables customers to deploy the thousands of UNIX applications already running on workstations, mid-range and mainframe computers on industry standard Intel computers. In addition, UnixWare provides the scalability and integration with network services to meet the needs of enterprise computing. At the same time, Univel also expanded capabilities of the UnixWare Personal Edition to run DOS and MS Windows applications under UNIX. UnixWare is designed to support client-server computing solutions by supporting both the high-end UNIX applications base as well as the PC spawned DOS and MS Windows applications community. The UnixWare Personal Edition, for desktop users is reduced 50% to $249.00 from $495.00 (US). The UnixWare Application Server, an ideal solution for downsizing applications in a client-server environment, is reduced 48% to $1299.00 from $2495.00 (US). The Software Development Kit is reduced 40% to $599.00 from $995.00 (US). "Our customers are asking for an affordable and easy-to-use advanced operating system that takes advantage of the desktop computers across their organization." said Joel A. Appelbaum, Univel president and CEO. "We believe that by reducing the prices on UnixWare we have removed the cost barrier to customer implementation of stable 32-bit operating system technology for desktop computers. Our objective is to accelerate the development and deployment of client/server applications that can grow the UNIX and network computing markets dramatically." The previous implementation of UnixWare supported DOS applications. The incorporation of the MS Windows Merge capabilities permits UnixWare to support MS Windows 3.0 and 3.1 applications under UNIX. This ensures that all of a users' desktop applications will run on UnixWare. Previously the MS Windows capability was an add-on product priced at $395, with the announcement today it is being included with the UnixWare Personal Edition at no extra charge. The UnixWare Personal Edition and UnixWare Application Server for Intel-based computers began shipping in December 1992. UnixWare products are sold through computer product distributors, system integrators and value added resellers worldwide. Univel, founded in December of 1991, is a joint venture of Novell, Inc. and UNIX System Laboratories, Inc. The company is chartered with growing the UNIX system and network computing market by providing open system software solutions for distributed enterprise-wide computing. Univel's UnixWare family of products incorporate the most powerful, user-friendly, graphical UNIX SVR4.2 operating system available today while providing seamless integration to NetWare.
