MKS Products Bring Productivity, Performance and Power to WindowsMost organizations today have a mixed IT environment and need to access these systems interchangeably. Ask the companies harnessing heterogeneity for added power, performance, and flexibility--and the growth in business they bring. Instead of choosing between Windows and UNIX/Linux, MKS Toolkit products allow users to work in both operating systems. But seamless cross-platform integration doesn't happen on its own. Smoothing the rough spots between UNIX/Linux and Windows calls for high-quality tools that address all the usual development issues and eases transition to the 32 and 64-bit systems required. The MKS Toolkit solution allows users to instantly be productive in both 32 and 64-bit Windows environments while doing their development, testing or system administration tasks. It also provides a full range of cross-platform tools, expanding the union of Windows and UNIX-based environments. MKS Toolkit provides essential UNIX-Windows interoperability and Windows scripting functionality to millions of users worldwide. |
Connectivity Solutions Guide The MKS Toolkit Connectivity Solutions Guide describes the basic concepts and techniques associated with connectivity, through how to use and configure the connectivity tools in the MKS Toolkit product line, to examples of how you can use those tools in combination with other MKS Toolkit and Windows utilities to perform various system administration and development related tasks.

Environment
Midsized and large enterprises rarely deploy homogeneous information systems environments. More often than not, UNIX systems are used to run business applications and provide decision support; Linux is used to provide application and database services; and, Windows systems are used for office functions (mail, collaboration, personal productivity, etc.). So, how can enterprises reduce management complexity and improve interoperability across heterogeneous systems? Download |
UNIX to Windows Porting Guide
Specific topics such as porting to Windows and how it differs from porting to various UNIX implementations, porting threaded applications, porting X Windows applications, porting shared libraries, and porting UNIX daemons. Also discusses how MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers simplifies the migration of 32-bit and 64-bit UNIX applications to 64-bit Windows enabling customers to deploy their UNIX/Linux applications on both Itanium and Extended Architecture (i.e. AMD-64) Windows platforms. Download | Closing the 64-bit Windows Application Gap Examines how this “applications gap” will be closed. We start by describing the current state of the 64-bit marketplace. We then examine current Unix-to-Linux and Unix-to-Windows porting practices. Several migration tools are identified. Included are summary observations and recommendations for IT buyers and independent software vendors (ISVs) who are considering the migration of their applications into the Windows 64-bit computing world.
