Mosaic Netsite Network Server Software

Mosaic Netsite network server software -- developed for corporations, publishers, information providers, service providers, and retailers -- allows users to easily set up and maintain servers for conducting commercial operations and distributing information on TCP/IP-based networks.

The Mosaic Netsite line includes two products available for UNIX-based platforms: the Mosaic Netsite Communications Server and the Mosaic Netsite Commerce Server.

The Mosaic Netsite Communications Server is designed for applications that do not require security, such as the delivery of online marketing materials and customer support information to existing and potential customers, or communications to employees. Mosaic Netsite offers increased levels of performance and efficiency over the NCSA httpd research prototype server, including reduced response times and more efficient use of available processor power and communications bandwidth. Mosaic Netsite is extremely flexible and can be easily extended to incorporate new functionality. It also includes intuitive, self-documenting configuration and management scripts for easy set-up. The Mosaic Netsite Communications Server will be available in October, 1994. The list price is $1,495.

The Mosaic Netsite Commerce Server offers the same feature set as the Mosaic Netsite Communications Server, plus functionality that enables secure commerce to be conducted over global networks. Mosaic Communications' implementation of RSA Data Security Inc. cryptographic technology provides encryption and authentication functionality to make commercial transactions over the Internet private and secure. The Mosaic Netsite Commerce Server is designed for online transactions and the exchange of sensitive documents over networks. The Mosaic Netsite Commerce Server will be available in November, 1994 at a list price of $5,000.
