“SCO’s Building Block — Unixware 7 DCE Prefigures 64-Bit
Monterey, Has Downtime Guarantee”

“Monterey, the 64-bit Unix operating system being developed by
IBM, Intel, and SCO, won’t be available until Intel’s 64-bit Merced
processor ships next year. But last week, SCO unveiled UnixWare 7
Data Center Edition, a 32-bit operating system that the company
says delivers the reliability, scalability, and serviceability that
customers need for current high-end Intel servers, including
upcoming eight-way Xeon systems.”

“The operating system offers 36-bit memory addressing. It
supports 32 Gbytes of memory and eight processors in a standard
configuration, and can be upgraded to 64 Gbytes for users who
license support for up to 32 CPUs.”

“for companies committed to Intel, it’s a good choice and a lot
more scalable than Linux or Solaris [on Intel].”
