In survey after survey, including this one in VAR Business Magazine's May '98 issue, AIX is not only the runaway favorite for its reliability, ease of installation and scalability.  It is also the runaway favorite for its ease of configuration, its upgradeability and its technical support.  Forget what magazine editors say; rely instead on what those who use AIX and build their customer bases on it have to say.

AIX relies upon an innovative file system that allows rapid recovery of data if a system crashes. AIX has a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) that supports triplicate mirroring with mirror write consistency and bad block relocation to help protect your data. AIX supports file systems larger than 2GB, eliminating the requirement for partitioned file systems. Support for files up to 64GB lets you create and use very large data files.

AIX inclC="bullet_ball2_blue.gif" HSPACE=6 height=17 width=17>AIX includes a Bonus Pack of popular IBM and third-party provided products that strengthen AIX as a rich, robust Internet-enabled computing environment. (Adobe Acrobat Reader, Netscape Navigator, Adstar Distributed Storage Manager, IBM Internet Connection Secure Server, Netscape Commerce Server, 1.1 Netscape FastTrack Server and AIX's implementation of Sun's Java programming environment - the Java Virtual Machine.)

AIX Connections - the power to integrate

A separately orderable feature of AIX, AIX Connections provides a premiere workgroup solution for a network of PC systems. This server software package works with clients running popular operating systems, including OS/2, Windows, Windows 95, Windows NT Workstation, and Macintosh. It provides the ability to connect PC clients to UNIX data and applications, meeting the current demand for true distributed computing. The asynchronous Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is one of the key benefits of AIX Connections. PPP enables remote communications with very fast modem and data compression capabilities. This makes it easier for mobile clients to access data and applications on their home servers as if they were right in the work area.

IBM/Motorola PowerPC technology features 64-bit Super-scalar RISC and Symmetrical Processing.  (Superscalar means that affordable, multiple-processor servers are available if your needs grow beyond what any single-processor server can handle.)   IBM began development of the RISC POWER technology nearly two decades ago.  It's the best silicon available.

Collaborative Computing

No matter how fast the future is arriving, now or in any age, one thing has been and will remain true...  the only way to benefit from something new is to have a plan and to have the res have a plan and to have the resources to take deliberate advantage of it!   ViewTouch can be both your plan and your resource to do exactly this...  to ensure that your organization will benefit from the technology which has already arrived and which will continue to arrive.  Without ViewTouch, or at least without a plan and the resources to match what we can do for your organization, it is quite certain you won't benefit in any consistent, significant way from all of the advantages which technology is delivering to your organization's competition.
