SCO, the world`s leading supplier of UNIX operating systems for the Intel platform, recently announced strong support for the newly created Intel IA-64 equity fund. The fund`s primary focus is to ensure that applications are available for 64-bit shrink-wrapped operating systems, such as Monterey/64, for the forthcoming Merced platform.
SCO sees this as a significant commitment by the industry to ensure the availability of key tools, applications and middleware for the next-generation of high-volume, 64-bit hardware platforms. This will expand the already large breadth of applications and ISVs committed to the Monterey/64 platform, which include nearly all major ISVs in the database, business intelligence, e-business and enterprise resource planning market segments.
SCO will actively contribute to the fund`s goals by recommending key ISVs for IA-64 ports. This complements the current activities of SCO and IBM to recruit ISVs to port to Monterey/64 and the Merced platform. For more information on Monterey/64, see http://www.sco.com/monterey
