OnStream and Windows 2000

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

OnStream has posted a Windows 2000 FAQ:

Will OnStream drives work with Microsoft Windows 2000 when it is released?
Windows 2000 will incorporate a number of major changes to the driver layers that will effect OnStream drives and most backup software applications. OnStream is working with its software partners to develop and test these updates as quickly as possible. Specific support for Windows 2000 depends on the particular drive and software combination.

OnStream´s ADR50 internal and external drives will have support with specific software applications as these vendors release their Windows 2000 compatible products. In addition, OnStream is creating a driver (ADR2K) to support specific software applications. These include Windows 2000´s native backup application (Microsoft Backup 5.0) and UltraBac.com´s UltraBac. This driver should be available early April 2000.

For ECHO30 internal and external SCSI drives as well as the SC50 internal drive, OnStream is developing a driver (SC2K) to support a number of backup applications. These will include Windows 2000´s native backup application (Microsoft Backup 5.0), Vertitas´ Backup Exec for Windows NT/2000 Server Edition and UltraBac.com´s UltraBac. This driver should also be available late April 2000. As with the current driver for WindowsNT, the ECHO30 IDE drives will not be supported.

For users of OnStream Echo Software, a Windows 2000 Professional compliant version that will support all OnStream drives is currently being tested internally. A BETA version will be available in mid March and general release is planned for Q2. Continuing OnStream´s commitment and support to our customers, this software upgrade will be available as a free download and include free technical support. This version of ECHO will not run on Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server and Datacenter.

IT Week: Dual processor PC to ease Windows 2000 burden

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Unlike previous dual-processor systems, which are geared to computer-intensive graphics applications, Dell´s OptiPlex GX300 is targeted at business users running Windows 2000 Professional.

Microsoft´s new operating system is likely to change the traditional role of dual-processor systems, according to a report from California-based Competitive Systems Analysis (CSA). "With a substantially rewritten kernel -­ including significant improvements in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) scalability ­- Microsoft´s Windows 2000 is poised to rewrite the book on desktop SMP," it said.

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Software giant Microsoft said on Thursday that sales of Windows 2000 were "significantly" higher than expected, shrugging off worries that its new flagship computer operating system would receive a lukewarm reception.

Around half a million copies of Windows 2000 had been sold through retail in the United States since its launch in mid-February, Keith White, director of Windows marketing, told reporters at company headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

HEWLETT-PACKARD WILL CRANK up the heat in the hotly contested high-volume server market Monday with the release of two NetServers that can incorporate up to six Pentium III Xeon processors, company officials said.

Hewlett-Packard claims to be the first manufacturer to offer a six-way server; vendors traditionally make the jump from four processors to eight. The computer vendor said the systems should prove popular with customers who are looking for a powerful server with headroom to expand their businesses and who do not want to spring for a pricier eight-way system.

Finger-pointing begins in Windows 2000 bug claims

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Whether this so-called security hole is a bug or not depends on who´s doing the talking. Microsoft disputes the claim. By contrast, Novell--a competitor that stands to lose sales of its flagship product if Windows 2000 Server takes off--says differently. Third parties, meanwhile, say the problem seems to come from a lack of familiarity with Active Directory, which is completely new.
