BLUE BELL, Pa., June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced ClearPath Forward™ ePortal
7.0 – the latest edition of the company's integrated, highly
automated application development and modernization solution for
extending applications onto mobile devices, the web and service
oriented application (SOA) environments.
Available immediately for the Unisys ClearPath MCP and OS 2200
operating environments, ePortal 7.0 includes extended
enterprise-class availability features, expanded capabilities for
development of applications for multiple mobile devices and
additional support for integration of widely-used, de facto
standard application development tools. Clients can also use Unisys
ClearPath Forward Services to discover ways to innovate with
ePortal 7.0 and build on their long-term investments in ClearPath
software while finding new cost efficiencies.
The new features are designed to solidify the powerful, flexible
ePortal solution as the linchpin for software-defined enterprises
leveraging a digital business model that links all IT resources –
from the cloud to the data center, the desktop and mobile locations
– for competitive advantage.
"The ePortal 7.0 solution enables clients to build a
software-defined, 'always on' IT infrastructure that helps their
organizations achieve the sustained performance they need in their
transaction-intensive business and become more agile in
capitalizing on emerging business opportunities," said Brian Herkalo, director, ClearPath Forward
Solutions, Unisys. "We are committed to continually enhancing the
strategic solutions and services our clients need to maintain and
build on the competitive advantage that ClearPath Forward gives
them."
New Features Enhance Availability, Scalability and
Mobility
Resilience enhancements to the Manager capability
in ePortal 7.0 boost system availability and eliminate single
points of application failure, enabling the solution to
continuously deliver the highly scalable peak loads of transactions
per second it was designed to support. If the primary Manager in
which an ePortal application is running fails, a secondary Manager
automatically takes over. Fully redundant network paths keep
business-critical data flowing to the application.
An enhanced Multi-Device Mobile Apps capability in ePortal 7.0
enables developers to build hybrid mobile applications using the
latest version of familiar web development capabilities, including
Google Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Apple iOS 9 with WKWebview support
and the new Microsoft Windows 10 Universal Apps.
ePortal 7.0 supports the latest Microsoft .NET development
frameworks and can be used with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.
Combined with support for Windows 10 Universal Apps, these
capabilities enable developers to use project templates to create
applications for the range of Windows devices that use a common
code base, including desktops, tablets and smartphones.
Consulting Services Complement Software
Enhancements
Following are the key ClearPath Forward
Services complementing the enhanced ePortal 7.0:
- Consultancy/PoC Service –
helps clients extend select ClearPath applications to a mobile, web
or web-services environment by building a proof of concept that
uses ePortal to create specific user-interface screens or user
transactions;
- Implementation Service – installation and configuration
of the ePortal Enterprise Edition, for larger clients, on existing
MCP or OS 2200 platforms;
