About Xinet

Company History and Background


OVERVIEW

UNIX/Macintosh networking solutions designed for a fast moving client/server industry

Xinet connectivity technology brings the multiprocessing capability and CPU horsepower of UNIX RISC machines to mixed platform sites where Macintosh applications are used. Xinet develops client/server solutions that allow Macintoshes and UNIX systems to work together efficiently and reliably; each doing what it was designed to do best.

Our products include:

FullPress
K-AShare
K-Spool
K-FS

As client/server networks have become more widespread, users and system administrators have looked for more sophisticated, efficient ways to share files and resources. We believe that UNIX systems offer the best framework for solving the client/server issues networked Macintosh users face.

Xinet supports every piece of software with an experienced team of technicians who understand the value of immediate, focused customer service and technical support. We are proud of our products and committed to being approachable and responsive to the needs of our customers.


COMPANY HISTORY

Xinet is a privately held company with offices in Berkeley, California and Santa Fe, New Mexico. The company was incorporated in 1991 after five years as a division of MT XINU. We are known for our experience with advanced UNIX system software and networking. Xinet engineers developed the first multivendor NFS solution and have focused on AppleTalk protocols for UNIX since 1985.

The Xinet version of AppleTalk for UNIX systems was introduced in 1987. Since that time, the Xinet Macintosh-to-UNIX connectivity technology has evolved to incorporate changes in UNIX and Macintosh operating system development as well as innovations in computer hardware and printing technology.

Xinet has a strong reputation among the world's leading hardware manufacturers and software developers as an innovative software company. This reputation has led to close alliances with companies such as Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard. Through these successful relationships we have been able to develop some of the most advanced networking software available on the market today.


XINET CUSTOMERS

We distribute our technology through OEM agreements with hardware and software developers, and also license our technology directly to large companies, universities, prepress facilities, and smaller networked multiplatform sites where efficient use of computing resources and a friendly interface are equally important.
