INTERGRAPH OFFERS SEAMLESS WINDOWS-TO-UNIX CONNECTIVITY.Intergraph Corporation, Huntsville, Ala., now provides out-of-the-box Microsoft(R) Windows(R) operating system-to- UNIX(R) connectivity by bundling its exclusive two-user version of AccessNFS Gateway with Intergraph Computer Systems' high-performance line of InterServe(R) Servers. The AccessNFS Gateway bundle gives InterServe customers operating in mixed environments instant access to UNIX resources using Network File System (NFS(R)), the de facto standard in UNIX environments for file sharing across multiple platforms. The gateway, installed on a Windows NT(R) server, provides Windows users with reliable and seamless access to UNIX resources while lowering the total cost of ownership and tightening network security. Intergraph Computer Systems, a leading manufacturer of Intel/Windows NT-based servers and workstations, is including the two-user gateway at no additional charge on its full line of workgroup to enterprise-level servers, including the InterServe 80 SL, 800 SL, and the 9000. "This is a great value-add for our customers. Many companies purchasing Intergraph's Windows NT servers have both UNIX and Windows operating systems and will benefit from having the ability to instantly integrate the two environments," said Chandler Hall, executive director of product marketing, Intergraph Computer Systems. "IT managers get a risk-free opportunity to deploy this solution in their own environment. Once IT managers see how well AccessNFS Gateway performs, we feel confident they'll standardize on it for all of their enterprise interoperability needs." "Our joint customers have been asking for greater interoperability between their Windows NT server and UNIX systems," said Mike Nash, director of Windows NT Server and infrastructure marketing at Microsoft. "Microsoft is pleased that Intergraph is addressing this customer need with their AccessNFS Gateway solution." In addition to the exclusive two-user OEM version, AccessNFS Gateway is available in concurrent license configurations of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and unlimited users.
