Santa Cruz Operation Inc is to begin reselling Oracle WebServer 2.0 for OpenServer in an Internet product bundle when Oracle Corp’s product is finally up under OpenServer early next month. It will also offer WebServer 2.0 for UnixWare 2.1 to OEM customers and large corporates before packaging that in a bundle towards the year-end. WebServer will actually be one of Santa Cruz’s so-called layered products for its Internet family of products. These sit on top of either OpenServer or another, its FastStart Internet bundle. FastStart is a bundle of an enhanced version of OpenServer, Point-to-Point Protocol software, Netscape Communications Corp’s Web Commerce and Proxy servers, an Internet Protocol to Internet Protocol gateway, Navigator browser and some of Santa Cruz’s Vision family of products, as well as security and other software (CI No 2,912). The firm will also announce FastStart Internet Bundle 2.0 at the Forum this week, which will include some updated Netscape software, among other enhancements. The agreement will continue when WebServer 3.0 becomes available in the fall (CI No 2,962). Oracle Corp is also in the process of implementing its WebServer 2.0 for HP-UX, Windows NT and Solaris on iAPX-86.
