Attachmate, the world`s leading provider of host access management solutions, has announced that the Java applet in the Attachmate HostView Server has been developed to support JDK 1.1 and the Java Virtual Machine. Organisations pursuing Java as a corporate standard or in their mixed environments can be assured when they use Attachmate HostView Server that it will adhere to all Java standards. Give more users access Attachmate HostView Server allows users acquainted with the traditional host terminal interface to access mission-critical data from a browser. With integrated VPN security, organisations can extend users` access outside the firewall via the Internet with the guarantee that their corporate data will remain safe and secure. For organisations looking at adopting NC or lower-function PC hardware, users inside the firewall can take advantage of the just-in-time Java Viewer. Viewers are Attachmate components that provide direct access to host applications from a webtop and are downloaded from the Attachmate HostView Server. Host access management With an industry-first, integrated management console, system administrators can provide different groups of users with access to specific hosts and applications. For example, the accounting department might only need to see the accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll applications on three different hosts while the manufacturing facility might need access to the inventory, shipping, and order entry applications on one host. This provides IT with a higher level of management, since users` rights can be determined by their identity or by their functional group. For the user, it simplifies the computing environment by allowing a host location to be named by its function, such as "1998 budget" or "incoming orders." Complete flexibility In addition to complete support for Java, Attachmate HostView Server is the only product on the market that also supports ActiveX, giving organisations the choice of using the technology that best suits their needs. For sixteen years, Attachmate has been a leading provider of connectivity software, enabling PC users to safely and securely access mission-critical information located on hosts (mainframes, midrange, UNIX, DEC/VAX, Unisys). A team of technical support and consulting experts backs all of Attachmate`s products, which include management software, development tools, remote access products, and hardware in addition to client and server products to help people access and use corporate data. Attachmate is truly a global supplier with 10 million customers worldwide and offices in 30 countries.
