Indy Works Well With Others
Indy excels in a multi-vendor environment with PCs, Macintoshes, and other
UNIX(r) systems. Indy can also act as a server and client on a network
simultaneously. Its multitasking power is a tremendous solution for
rip-and-render serving. Indy supports PC and Macintosh client software
for Netware(tm) and AppleTalk(r) networks, as well as third-party PC and
Macintosh emulation packages such as Quorum Equal(tm) and Insignia
SoftWindows(tm). Indy reads and writes PC and Macintosh floppies and
supports Photo-CD and Quicktime(tm).
For Client/Server: CHALLENGE S
CHALLENGE(tm) S enables heterogenous workgroups to share files, images,
and output devices simply and inexpensively. Multiple Ethernet support,
or higher bandwidth networking options including FDDI and ATM, ensure
optimum network performance. The CHALLENGE S server is ready to support
PC Netware and Macintosh client workstations with software that enables
clients to interact with CHALLENGE S through familiar, native client
interfaces. Binary compatibility with all Silicon Graphics systems makes
CHALLENGE S well suited for software development or CASE.
