[WarpCast] Aurora Client from IBM: Correction/Clarification - 11/01/99 |
PMView: The ultimate in image viewing Major update coming soon! Watch http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: Steven King (kings@us.ibm.com) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- In a recent WarpCast posting (Aurora Client announcement: http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc4321.html) we said, in part, that: There IS a service offering from IBM for installation and support of an official Aurora Client to be officially announced within the next couple of days. This may have been incorrect or misleading. Here are the real facts, straight from Steven King (the person named as the source in the original message): The posting was not reviewed by us and is a bit misleading. We do offer customized installation services for Warp Server for e-business where we can assist the customers in installing only those components that they need. In some cases, the customers want to kernel, LVM, and JFS .... but not much more. So we assist them in the use of custom install (attended and unattended) to achieve the desired end content. But ..... the pricing for the software license is no different than the normal server. They may qualify for discounts based on Advantage points but the tables are no different than for the server solution. We do not have an Aurora client pricing model. Sorry for the confusion!!!!!
