, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 1996--Blueridge Technologies, "The Internet Document Management Company(TM)," announced that the award-winning OPTIX(R) Document Management System now supports servers based on Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. , the popular multi-user operating system from Microsoft.

The NT version of OPTIX complements the line-up of high-performance UNIX servers already supported by OPTIX, including Sun SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill , RS/6000 from IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , and DEC Alpha.

The addition of the NT server platform makes OPTIX one of the most scalable solutions in the document management industry. With a full line of NT and UNIX servers, OPTIX can now provide a cost-effective solution for everything from a workgroup system, running NT on an entry-level Pentium-based server, to an enterprise-wide application running on top-of-the-line UNIX servers with symmetric multiple processors (SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing) A multiprocessing architecture in which multiple CPUs, residing in one cabinet, share the same memory. SMP systems provide scalability. As business increases, additional CPUs can be added to absorb the increased transaction volume. ) and mainframe performance.

By porting to NT, Blueridge continues it's policy of supporting off-the-shelf, industry-standard platforms, so that our clients can implement document management systems on technology that they already own and support.

Founded in 1988, Blueridge Technologies is one of the industry's oldest and most respected providers of electronic document management systems (EDMS (Electronic Document Management System or Enterprise Document Management System ) See document management.
