     Vendor100 Goes "Full Enterprise" At Warp Expo West

         Network Platform To Be WiseManager On OS/2



  Vendor100 has grown to "Full Enterprise" size and Warp
Expo West is upgrading the entire Vendor100 exhibitor space
to a new technology managed client network.

  "You'll be able to walk up to any client system on the
network and run any Vendor100 application," said Rollin
White, Chairman of Warp Expo West.  "No guest will have to
wait in line for a chance to use a single dedicated system
running a single vendor's software.  Everything will run
everywhere."

  The entire Vendor100 suite of software from dozens of
developers will be hosted on the newly engineered network,
and guests will have the unique experience of not being
restricted to a particular vendor's machine in order to try
their software.  The network servers will use WiseManager
from Serenity Systems to manage all the clients.

  "WiseManager doesn't use the hard disk in your system,"
explained Kim Cheung, Executive Director for Serenity.
"You install each application once at the server, and every
client system then uses that copy.  And it's totally
configurable for each user.  You still have your own
configuration files, your own data files.  But it's all
stored on the server."

  "There's a big savings here.  Most of an application's
files never change, so we only need one server copy.  The
few small files that do, such as configuration files, are
stored in the user's personal file space.  WiseManager uses
the personal file if it exists, or uses the common file
otherwise."

  Every network administrator should carefully go over the
Vendor100 network that will run continuously during Warp
Expo West.  The network build team will be available for
questions.

  "It's great for us because, if a client machine breaks, we
just replace it, turn on the new one, and boot from the
network.  We don't have to install anything, and we're up
and running again instantly," commented White.

  Cheung himself supervised the installation of the dozens
of different software applications on the servers.  "It went
fast, not much different from a single client install, and
when one vendor sent an upgrade we only had to upgrade one
machine - the server - not every client," said Cheung.
"Suppose we had 50 machines!  We'd have to install the
upgrade 50 times if we didn't have a managed client network.
WiseManager handles any size network -- up to 64,000
clients."

  "We're also going to show how to install this new type of
network, and discuss the cost and security benefits of using
diskless workstations," Cheung said.

  Managed client networks are a bold new technology for OS/2
network administrators, and every businessman and every OS/2
user with an interest in networking should make a point of
studying and discussing the Vendor100 network - at Warp Expo
West!
