上月在美国纽约举行的InternetBusiness Expro展览会上,Sun公司官员透露,Sun公司将于年底发布基于WindowsNT平台的JavaStation引导API,以克服JavaStation仅支持Solaris后台服务器的局限性。JavaStation自发布以来一直坚持专有模式,由Solaris进行引导、配置和管理,影响了NC的推广。为了使其硬件产品符合跨平台Java产品的要求,进一步推动运行JavaStation的Solaris Netra服务器市场、Sun力图在开放JavaStation市场的同时,还要努力使其成为抢占Wintel PC市场的有力武器。上述举措的实施,既可拓展Java客户机应用市场,也可借助Windows NT这一流行平台获得更多利益。据IDC公司统计,从去年开始,基于Windows NT平台的服务器销量就超过了基于Unix平台的服务器销量,而且这一差距将越来越大(见下表)。基于NT的Java Station引导API将遵循动态主机配置协议(Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol),该Internet标准可在网络中为客户机分配地址。
At the Internet Business Expro exhibition held in New York last month, Sun officials revealed that Sun will release the JavaStation boot API based on the Windows NT platform at the end of the year to overcome the limitation that JavaStation only supports Solaris background servers. Since the release of JavaStation, it has always insisted on a proprietary model. It is guided, configured, and managed by Solaris, which affects the promotion of NC. In order to make its hardware products meet the requirements of cross-platform Java products, to further promote the Solaris Netra server market running JavaStation, Sun is trying hard to make it a powerful weapon for the Wintel PC market while opening the JavaStation market. The implementation of the above initiatives can not only expand the Java client application market, but also gain more benefits through the popular platform of Windows NT. According to statistics from IDC, since last year, the sales of servers based on the Windows NT platform have surpassed the sales of servers based on the Unix platform, and this gap will increase (see the table below). The NT based Java Station boot API will follow the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which can assign addresses to clients in the network.
