Attachmate Corporation, a 20-year veteran of host information access and long-time Unisys partner, has released two new products: INFOConnect Enterprise Edition v7.5 and INFOConnect Airlines Enterprise Edition (Airlines Workstation) v7.5.
"This release of INFOConnect is especially exciting, with the added features of Web-based centralised management and security," says Kevin McHugh, Unisys VP and GM of Platform Marketing, Systems and Technology. "We are pleased to see the continued investment by Attachmate in ClearPath modernisation tools such as INFOConnect."
These new versions boast product features for increasing productivity and lowering total cost of ownership.
INFOConnect Enterprise Edition v7.5 carries the "Designed for Windows XP" logo, and its compatibility with Windows XP lets organisations take full advantage of the operating system`s functionality, and also fully leverages the Windows 2000 platform. The enhanced Microsoft Installer (MSI) support for Multi-User and Restricted User environments allows INFOConnect to fit seamlessly into the customer environment.
The two product releases provide users with new tools that can be exploited via the Attachmate Management and Control Server (MCS), including:
* Web-based centralised management - This allows users to centrally administer, configure, and deploy INFOConnect clients and software updates.
* Terminal ID management - The ability to pool terminal IDs, track ID usage and manage inactivity timeout values for specific users conserves terminal ID resources and significantly reduces operating expenses.
* Multiple levels of security - Added features include MCS Security Services, Kerberos single sign-on, and NIST FIPS 140-1 Validated encryption via the CryptoConnect client encryption module.
* Integrated myEXTRA! Enterprise v7.11 - INFOConnect provides multi-host environment support, including T27, UTS, 3270, 5250, VT, and Airlines (ALC and PTR).
"Customers in the financial, airlines and commercial industries will appreciate the productivity capabilities of these new versions of INFOConnect," says Theo Fourie, Attachmate SA country manager. "This is an ideal single-vendor solution for our customers."
