SCO today announced that Hewlett-Packard Company has entered into a worldwide volume-purchase agreement for using its Tarantella web-enabling software ("Tarantella") in a new secure remote access infrastructure involving UNIX system-based HP test systems at customer sites.
"Tarantella software plays an important role in our secure remote access infrastructure. It enables our customers to connect their UNIX-based HP systems directly to us without jeopardising intranet security," said George Sparks, General Manager of the HP Solution Services Division. "Our customers will have the full resource-capability from HP`s product divisions and field support teams at their disposal. The direct connection will allow customers to receive support with quicker response time, rapid diagnosis of problems, remote training and increased system throughput and uptime, thereby reducing their operating costs and insuring their ongoing success."
"Tarantella is continuing to gain momentum among enterprise organisations who need smart solutions to web-enable their business-critical applications," said Mick Adamson, SCO Vice President and General Manager, Tarantella Business Unit. "Tarantella allows administrators to centrally manage users and applications. We`re very pleased that HP is one of many organisations who has discovered the value of using Tarantella for secure, remote access to their important applications."
