OpenServer 6V

OpenServer 6V should be available in December 2011 and will be the first release of OpenServer 6 optimized for the VMware platform.

The initial version 1 of OpenServer 6V will be provided as a VMware appliance and will support SMP and provide kernel changes, VMware tools and the same subscription licensing as OpenServer 5.0.7V.

SCO Professional Services can provide customers with support to tailor the appliance to any specific needs.

Updates to Version 1 will be provided at no additional costs for customers with an active subscription license.

A first VMware optimized version of UnixWare 7.1.4 will be available in the first half of 2012.

With the above short term roadmap UnXis delivers on its earlier announcements. Current SCO OpenServer 6 and UnixWare customers can already begin their planning for a supported move into a virtual platform world while existing OpenServer 5.0.7V customers get an updated version with more features and support.

The move into a virtual world allows installed OpenServer and UnixWare solutions to gain even better TCO than ever.
This also supports future concepts of running an UnXis solution in a cloud environment.
