WebFORCE: To Author and To Serve
Silicon Graphics introduces WebFORCE(TM) Indy(TM), a complete solution for Web authoring and Web serving. With a single WebFORCE Indy workstation, you can publish your messages to the World Wide Web by creating and serving eye-catching, media-rich content. Or, deploy WebFORCE Indy behind your firewall to enable more compelling information access within your company.
The Power of the Indy Platform
WebFORCE combines software for authoring and serving with the high performance of the Indy workstation. Build your Web site on a high bandwidth system architecture, featuring the MIPS® RISC R4600(TM) CPU, 267MB/sec system bus, and 400MB/sec memory bus. Create vivid images with the Indy XL graphics subsystem, offering 24-bit or 8-bit color, amazing 3D and 2D graphics, X11, and imaging performance. Indy is built for digital media I/O with features like the IndyCam(TM) digital video camera, CD-quality audio system, and ISDN all standard.
Media-Rich Web Authoring Software
Before WebFORCE Indy, producing great content for the Web required learning
the arcane commands of the HyperText Markup Language (HTML). With the bundled WebMagic(TM) Author software, you can easily produce compelling, media-rich Web content. Incorporate GIF and JPEG into your documents simply by "dragging and dropping" icons for your image files onto the page. Use the same intuitive technique to create links to video clips, sounds, or other Web pages.
WebMagic software includes:
High Performance Web Serving Software
Serving the Web is extremely demanding. If you create truly compelling content, your Web site will be inundated with visitors. WebFORCE Indy
combines a system architecture built for high throughput with Netsite(TM), the
acclaimed Web serving software from Netscape Communications. Preinstalled on
WebFORCE Indy, Netsite Communications
Server(TM) software makes it easy to set up a Web
site for delivery of on-line marketing materials, customer support information, or communication among employees. If your business is ready for on-line transactions, you can easily upgrade to Netsite Commerce Server(TM) software, with security based on public key encryption technology from RSA Data Security Inc.
WebFORCE Indy Works Well with Others
WebFORCE Indy excels in heterogeneous environments with other UNIX®
systems, PCs, and Macintosh® systems. Put the power of WebFORCE Indy to work as the Web server, Web authoring seat, or Internet access point for your local area network.
Flexible and Expandable
Configure WebFORCE Indy to meet your needs. Upgrade graphics and CPU as your
needs grow or add options, such as the Cosmo
Compress(TM) full-motion JPEG video compression
board. And, of course, to expand your Web authoring capabilities, choose
from the most powerful applications for animation, 3D graphics, imaging, and
digital media editing.
