 SCO Forum - Information about EdgeClick from SCO
During SCO Forum we released more details on our new EdgeClick / MeInc Platform Technology and announced various alliances and new products.

The EdgeClick platform empowers the next major step in the evolution of business mobility.
EdgeClick does this by providing three essential underpinnings:
  • Enabling the secure and reliable extension of backend business system functionality to handheld clients (including .NET and Java-based devices) using the EdgeProcessor as a "mobility server."
  • Enabling rapid application extension or the development of entirely new enterprise mobile solutions using the EdgeBuilder SDK.
  • Providing an optional hosted environment (called EdgeClick Park) for branded solution deployment, customer capture, and on-going account provisioning, billing and maintenance.
For more information see our EdgeClick related Webpages (english) (german) (russian)
Also see the EdgeClick Technology Overview (eng) or the EdgeClick related SCO Forum presentations.

  SCO Forum - Information about HipCheck from SCO
During SCO Forum we also released more details on our new SCO HipCheck product, which is an MeInc based Service.

HipCheck is an MeInc Based "Rich Mobility" Service
HipCheck is a mobile service that allows UNIX and Windows system administrators to monitor and actively manage the health of their systems remotely through their Windows Mobile phones.

HipCheck users can view the health parameters of their systems and services, set and receive alerts triggered by certain critical system conditions.
And, with proper access authority, they can immediately take corrective action directly through the Pocket PC device.

HipCheck ensures around-the-clock server surveillance and tremendously improves the quality of system management for Windows and UNIX servers.
Servers currently supported include:
  • Windows 2003
  • Windows XP Professional
  • SCO OpenServer 5.07
