Unisys has announced four major enhancements to its Unisys open and secure integrated solutions (OASIS), the company's portfolio of integrated, certified open source software suites.
The new offerings, Unisys OASIS Suites 2.0, Unisys OASIS Oracle Grid Accelerator, OASIS Enterprise Asset Modernisation, and OASIS UNIX to Linux Migration, provide clients with a range of tools to monitor application infrastructure performance against defined service requirements.
It also enables rapid migration of applications to Oracle 10g on Linux and facilitates migration from Unix to Linux environments.
"This is a new milestone for Unisys as it will enable clients to modernise their IT environments by bringing the economic advantages of open source into a business class computing environment," says Bernard Donnelly, enterprise solution services manager: Systems & Technology, Unisys Africa.
"By minimising risk and maximising the economic advantages of open source, Unisys OASIS can help transform innovation into measurable business impact for clients," says Ali Shadman, VP and GM of Open Source Solutions: Systems and Technology, Unisys. "The new Unisys OASIS offerings expand the range of options clients have to modernise their IT environments economically while protecting the investments they have made in their IT infrastructure over time. Clients can optimise the immediate projects while focusing more budget on their future projects that drive additional business value."
The new Unisys OASIS offerings deliver the following benefits:
* OASIS Suites 2.0 adds capabilities for management and monitoring of the application runtime infrastructure using the Groundwork Professional series of products, improves transaction management using JBoss Transaction Service and improves protection against Web-borne application attacks;
* OASIS Oracle Grid Accelerator provides a complete solution for deploying Oracle 10g Real Application Clusters (RAC). The OASIS Grid Accelerator can reduce costs by enabling even the largest Oracle databases to migrate in a matter of weeks from prior Oracle releases on UNIX platforms to Oracle 10g RAC running in the Linux environment on Unisys ES7000/one Enterprise Servers;
* OASIS Enterprise Asset Modernisation provides a set of critical services, software and platforms designed to reduce risk and maximise the return for clients transforming legacy IT assets to a lower cost, more agile environment; and
* OASIS Unix to Linux Migration moves a client's data, applications, and servers from a proprietary or outdated Unix environment to a new open systems architecture.
"Unisys's combination of services skills, software and enterprise server technology delivers a full solution lifecycle capability, from design through implementation to complete support on a consistent worldwide basis," says Anthony Gold, VP and GM: Open Source Business, Unisys. "The Unisys approach gives clients a singular advantage in capitalising on the freedom and economic advantages open source affords while continuing to leverage the value of their existing IT infrastructure."
