Los Angeles-based Isocor Inc has introduced Isoplex Version 4 server, a full 92 spec scalable, multiprotocol message server for client-server data transfer to corporate backbones. Version 4, said to be entirely software-based, can be used as a messaging system for electronic data interchange, electronic mail, secure transactions and multimedia file transfer, says the company. It is being marketed as a multiprotocol router for high speed application data on everything from mainframes through RISC systems to iAPX-86-based personal computer. Isocor says the server supports the majority of iAPX-86 and RISC-based machines, and can communicate with most systems based on Simple Mail Transfer Protocol/Multipart Internet Message Extension 1984/88/92 X.400, and public messaging networks, including the Internet. Client and application programming interface gateways supported by the server include Messaging and the X/Open Co Ltd Gateway Application Programming Interface. Isoplex Version 4 server is now available and pricing, on a per server basis, ranges from $5,000 to $100,000, based on operating system and number of processors.
