What the press are saying…
15
15 Analyst "Based on the performance and security improvements, as well as integration with many popular open-source technologies now found in SCO OpenServer 6, The SCO Group has given its customers quite a number of reasons to upgrade and continue investing in the SCO OpenServer platform." -Dan Kusnetzky, IDC, June 2005
16
16 Analyst "SCO's release of OpenServer 6 is significant because it demonstrates that SCO does indeed have a product strategy, and this may help maintain, if not grow, SCO's customer installed base." - Stacey Quandt, Quandt Analytics, June 2005
17
17 Product Reviewer "If you are the administrator of a small company (or a consultant for one), you would do well to consider OpenServer in conjunction with SCOoffice Server 4.1 in a new implementation. Together with the other services available on the Optional Services CD, this makes a powerful and reliable server combination that should meet the needs of most organizations." "The price, for what you get, offers a significant return on investment that cannot be overlooked. You are able to save money by turning to the Intel platform, and yet reap the benefits of running true SVR5 UNIX." -Emmett Dulaney, Unix Review, July 2005
18
18 Product Reviewer "Sporting an updated kernel, The SCO Group Inc.'s OpenServer 6 offers significant scalability upgrades, along with new UnixWare application and driver compatibility. These improvements, along with a set of new and updated open-source software components, make OpenServer 6 a compelling upgrade for sites already running this venerable operating system." -Jason Brooks, eWeek Labs, August 2005
19
19 Journalist "OpenServer has always been the most stable operating system I've ever seen on an Intel platform. People tell true stories about OpenServer servers being literally walled up in closets and then be forgotten about for years at a time. OpenServer just runs and runs and… you get the idea." -Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, eWeek, August 2005
