These new offerings provide clients with a range of tools to monitor application infrastructure performance against defined service requirements, modernize existing enterprise IT assets, enable rapid migration of applications to Oracle 10g See Oracle database. on Linux, and facilitate migration from UNIX to Linux environments. In addition to expanding the Unisys OASIS suite announced in June 2006, the new solutions extend Unisys comprehensive suite of open source tools which help clients build a real-time infrastructure in which information technology directly and dynamically supports strategic business processes. "By minimizing risk and maximizing the economic advantages of open source, Unisys OASIS can help transform innovation into measurable business impact for clients," said Ali Shadman, vice president and general manager, Open Source Solutions, Systems and Technology, Unisys. "The new Unisys OASIS offerings expand the range of options clients have to modernize their IT environments economically while protecting the investments they have made in their IT infrastructure over time. Clients can optimize the 'now' projects while focusing more budget on the 'next' projects that drive additional business value." The new Unisys OASIS offerings deliver the following benefits: * OASIS Suites 2.0 adds capabilities for management and monitoring of the application runtime infrastructure In computing, run-time infrastructure (RTI) is a middleware that is required when implementing the High Level Architecture. RTI is the fundamental component of HLA. It provides a set of software services that are necessary to support federates to coordinate their operations and using the Groundwork Professional series of products; improved transaction management using JBoss Transaction Service; hot deployment and backup of Java EE The revised name for the J2EE Platform from Sun. In 2005, Sun renamed J2EE to Java EE and J2ME to Java ME. See J2EE and J2ME. applications; and improved protection against web-borne application attacks; * OASIS Oracle Grid Accelerator provides a proven, rapid, and complete solution for deploying Oracle 10g Real Application Clusters (RAC See remote access concentrator. ). A joint development effort between Unisys and Oracle, the OASIS Grid Accelerator can reduce costs by enabling even the largest Oracle databases to migrate in a matter of weeks, not months, from prior Oracle releases on UNIX platforms to Oracle 10g RAC running in the Linux environment on Unisys ES7000/one Enterprise Servers; * OASIS Enterprise Asset Modernization provides a set of critical services, software, and platforms designed to reduce risk and maximize the return for clients transforming legacy IT assets to a lower cost, more agile environment. Unisys and its ecosystem of alliance partners are working together to create a foundation for IBM mainframe IBM mainframes, though perceived as synonymous with mainframe computers in general due to their marketshare, are now technically and specifically IBM's line of business computers that can all trace their design evolution to the IBM System/360. customers to move to Linux with confidence while preserving the reliability, availability, scalability and security attributes of their mainframe environments; * OASIS UNIX to Linux Migration encompasses services and best practices necessary to quickly, safely, and efficiently move a client's data, applications, and servers from a proprietary or outdated Unix environment to a new open systems architecture. Capitalizing on the flexibility and scalability of the Unisys ES7000/one Enterprise Server, this solution can deliver exceptional performance, scalability and dependability. It is available in versions designed for specific servers and migration of middleware Software that functions as a conversion or translation layer. It is also a consolidator and integrator. Custom-programmed middleware solutions have been developed for decades to enable one application to communicate with another that either runs on a different platform or comes from a , including Novell Netware (operating system, networking) Novell NetWare - Novell, Inc.'s proprietary networking operating system for the IBM PC. NetWare uses the IPX/SPX, NetBEUI or TCP/IP network protocols. It supports MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, OS/2, Macintosh and Unix clients. .
