Latest Unisys ClearPath Software Boosts Mobility, Flexibility and Cost-Efficiency of Dorado SystemsBLUE BELL, Pa., March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced a new release of its OS 2200 operating environment for the company's ClearPath Dorado systems. The new release includes:
"We continue to enhance OS 2200 to provide our ClearPath Dorado clients with an increasingly open, mobile-enabled operating environment," said Rob Cashman, vice president, Mission-Critical Servers and Solutions, Unisys. "This new software release enables clients to capitalize on the power and cost-efficiency of the advanced ClearPath architecture while continuing to enjoy the high performance, stability and security that have made OS 2200 the gold standard for mission-critical computing for decades." ClearPath OS 2200 Release 16.0 is an integrated, fully tested stack of 110 software products, with many feature updates resulting from direct suggestions by the OS 2200 user community. Enabling Greater Mobility for Modern Mission Critical Applications The Hybrid Mobile Application Build Service feature of ePortal for OS 2200 enables developers to create applications that can easily access OS 2200 resources and exploit native smartphone capabilities, such as GPS maps and barcde readers, without needing to master each platform's proprietary language and tool set. Also, software developers can draw on Unisys' enhancements to the performance and scalability of the widely used Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) for OS 2200 for larger-scale application development and modernization projects. Integrating ClearPath, Linux and Windows Applications in a Fabric Architecture ClearPath OS 2200 applications have long been able to integrate with applications and databases running under the Windows and Linux operating environments through a rich set of industry-standard middleware. The new fabric-based ClearPath architecture enables users to implement those resources – including key components of OS 2200 Release 16.0 – in software as partitions within the ClearPath fabric architecture. All resources can communicate seamlessly over the fabric's high-speed interconnect, speeding up operations while simplifying management of the Dorado environment and reducing associated costs. The ClearPath OS 2200 QProcessor solution is one key release component that can be implemented as a partition in the fabric for enhanced performance. It provides transparent information exchange between systems in data-center and cloud environments through the widely used IBM® WebSphere® MQ messaging solution. Simplifying System Management and Maintenance While Boosting Security In addition, Unisys has further enhanced the "secure by default" feature of OS 2200 – a set of out-of-the-box parameters closely aligned with recognized security best practices. It is now simpler for organizations to comply with government regulations and industry standards, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). ClearPath OS 2200 Release 16.0 is available immediately. About Unisys Follow Unisys on Twitter. RELEASE NO.: 0303/9315 Unisys is a registered trademark of Unisys Corporation.
