Global Dosimetry Solutions, Inc. UNIX System Highlighted during SCO Forum

San Francisco, Calif., September 7, 2006 – Global Dosimetry Solutions, Inc. (GDS), a division of Mirion Technologies, today announced that Hewlett Packard (HP) and SCO presented the new UNIX high availability system deployed at GDS during the SCO Forum 2006, the premier UNIX and application mobility conference, which was held in Las Vegas. The GDS system is one of only two in the world selected by the Executives at HP to be presented at SCO Forum.

GDS requires 7/24 operations with laboratory and manufacturing operations. In order to meet the growing demands for greater speeds in data delivery and support for different protocols, it was determined a platform based around HP DL 580 G3, MSA 1500 SAN, HP Storage Works 4/8 Fiber Switch, and 100/1000 Network Cards with UnixWare 7.1.4 selected for the OS platform, would best meet the network requirements.

“We were pleased to have our system highlighted during SCO Forum 2006," stated Malcolm Smith, VP of Information Technology of GDS. "The new system criteria was dependent on a UNIX platform with a design emphasis around high availability, increased performance and capacity. We achieved this reliability and scalability with HP equipment and UnixWare.”

“SCO was pleased to have been selected in partnership with HP as the supplier for GDS’s network requirements. SCO has a history of providing highly innovative and reliable solutions to companies like GDS,” stated Sandy Gupta, CTO of SCO. “UnixWare 7.1.4 supports the newest industry standard hardware platforms and peripherals and contains even more of the high performance, scalability and reliability features that our customers have come to expect from UnixWare.”

GDS provides dosimetry, consulting, and system integration services to the nuclear, government, and medical industries.

Mirion Technologies is comprised of three divisions: Synodys Health Physics, IST Nuclear Systems, and GDS Dosimetry Service. To learn more about the products and services Mirion has to offer visit: www.miriontech.com.
