          Microlite Introduces BackupEDGE(tm) Release 02.00.03
               with Java(tm) and Web Services Interfaces

ALIQUIPPA, PA -- June 15, 2004 -- Microlite Corporation is pleased to
announce the availability of the latest release of its award winning
BackupEDGE backup and disaster recovery software, featuring...

* A new Multi-Mode Graphical / Character User Interface
* Support for SCO(r) UnixWare(r) 7.1.4.

User Interface
--------------
BackupEDGE has a state-of the-art user interface that can be rendered
three different ways...

* in graphical mode as a Web Service from any client system supporting
  Java(*), such as a Windows(r) equipped PC.
* in graphical mode on X11 consoles or clients equipped with Java(*).
* in character mode on system consoles, dumb terminals or xterm clients.

The user interface operates identically in all three modes (it is in
fact a single compiled binary). No operator re-training is required. It
features pull-down menus, one-key, on-line context sensitive help, and
fast "key jump" access to most features.

The server being administered doesn't even need graphics capabilities.
Any system having a Java-equipped web browser can now authenticate into
and graphically manage a BackupEDGE installation over a secure,
encrypted network link. If the server does have Java, then the Java
interface can also be run under X11.

The Java and Web Services modes are theme-based. Users / VARs / OEMs may
adjust color and graphics for a customized look and feel.

* Requires Sun(r) Java 1.4.2 or later.

UnixWare 7.1.4 Support
----------------------
BackupEDGE and its companion RecoverEDGE(tm) disaster recovery component
have been tested and modified to support the newest version of UnixWare
beginning with this release. As Java 1.4.2 is a part of this UnixWare
release, the BackupEDGE X11 Java interface is automatically enabled upon
installation.


"Flexibility is a cornerstone of our products," said Frank Liberato,
Vice President of Engineering at Microlite. "By leveraging the existing
infrastructure of the Internet, our users can see an immediate benefit
in ease of administration simply by enabling the Web Services interface."

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
