Attachmate has announced e-Vantage for UNIX/VMS environments, a server based UNIX/VMS host access management solution providing the foundation necessary for customers wanting to evolve midrange systems to e-business.
This solution for UNIX and VMS platforms includes a set of products and global consulting services that allows the migration of host data to the intranet, extranet and Internet. "There are over 2.6 million UNIX and VMS systems installed worldwide, and this is expected to grow substantially by 2002. UNIX and VMS servers are well-positioned for e-business because of their integrated nature and support for Internet technologies," says Paul Cripsey, country manager at Attachmate SA.
e-Vantage is designed for organisations wanting to extend mission-critical information and applications via the Web. Using Internet technology, administrators are able to extend midrange applications and database access by managing and controlling the connection of virtually any desktop, over any link, to any UNIX/VMS system.
"Enterprises today are continually challenged to respond to business opportunities purported by the Web, yet are often faced with diminishing budgets and qualified IT resources," says Cripsey. "Attachmate e-Vantage helps companies evolve towards e-business by providing not only the access, but also the host access management infrastructure, technology, and expert services allowing rapid response to new business initiatives."
Many UNIX/VMS administrators are in the process of determining how the new Web-based computing paradigm will integrate with existing legacy solutions and technology. Attachmate e-Vantage provides the flexibility to evolve from a thick (Windows) to thin (Web) client technology as needed, while retaining the option to use traditional desktop emulation for as long as necessary.
"Attachmate e-Vantage allows shops or departments to evolve to e-business on their own terms, at their own pace," says Cripsey. "The ability to migrate from thick to thin clients, an open platform that won`t lock customers into one technology, as well as tools and service that help companies quickly respond to new e-business opportunities are what make e-Vantage the best available web-to-host solution today."
