JMR Software has announced the availability of the VcEmulator from GT Software, a feature-rich Java-based terminal emulation software solution providing powerful, easy to deploy and use, affordable client access to host systems. VcEmulator enables organisations to easily make critical host-based applications available via the Internet or corporate intranet.
VcEmulator`s two-tiered approach eliminates the requirement for additional servers or host-installed software, providing a cost-effective method of delivering highly scalable client access to legacy systems. A small footprint Java application is installed on the client machine to provide access to 3270- and 5250-based applications.
"This Java application can be remotely installed, configured and maintained eliminating the need for on-site IT installation and support," said Leon Theron, Sales and Marketing Director of JMR Software.
VcEmulator provides full feature terminal emulation in a manner that enables organisations to reduce the overall software, hardware and administrative costs associated with providing host access within or outside the corporate network.
Features
VcEmulator provides access to legacy applications on IBM mainframe (Z-series, S/390) and IBM midrange (As/400, i-series) systems from any client including Windows 95, 98, NT, XP and 2000, also Unix, Mac and Linux.
VcEmualtor provides support for European and Asian character sets.
VcEmulator provides all of the functionality required in a robust terminal emulation solution including: cut and paste capability, user definable keyboard mapping, macro support, definable colour mapping and secure FTP support.
VcEmulator provides secure connections using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
