Which is for You?

When security is the deciding factor, the Host Gateway Server (HGS) is the foundation. HGS sits between any KMSYS client and your ClearPath mainframe, providing a flexible mix of encrypted and non-encrypted connections — and FIPS 140-compliant cryptographic modules where data protection is critical.

HGS provides secure access to both ClearPath 2200 and MCP systems. Any of the KMSYS client products listed below can use the security features built into HGS.

Both T27 eXpress Enterprise and UTS eXpress Enterprise provide emulation connectivity to ClearPath platforms with complete freedom for users to configure their own visual, keyboard, and host preferences (screen color, fonts, keystrokes, mainframes, etc.). If more than one user uses the same PC, both Enterprise editions can be configured to allow each user his or her own preferences. There is even a locking mechanism preventing unauthorized changes.

UTS eXpress Enterprise and T27 eXpress Enterprise are the emulators preferred by programmers, technicians, and developers. Pricing is very reasonable for this full-bodied connectivity tool.

For sites that need desktop terminal emulation, the current catalog lists the Enterprise editions for both T27 and UTS environments.

With continued interest in Internet and Intranet applications, KMSYS Worldwide continues to develop more web-based solutions. There are several from which to choose.

UTS eXpress Enterprise and T27 eXpress Enterprise offer centralized control over all configuration options through their web implementations. Nothing is installed on the client PC — the emulator is distributed and executed via the browser. The Web implementation is fully configurable; scripts, toolbars, and keyboard configurations may be stored locally or in a central location on the server.

KMSYS Worldwide also offers HGS Web Client. HGS Web Client is a streamlined emulator fulfilling the basic needs of end users — like the Web implementation of eXpress Enterprise, user access is always through a Web page containing the HGS Web Client control. HGS Web Client is licensed by the session, so you do not have to pay for copies that are not in use, and requires no maintenance on the user side. T27 and UTS versions are available.

When you need to expose host applications as fully custom web pages — not just a green screen in a browser — Terminal Emulation as a Service (TEaaS) lets any ASP.NET page or .NET application drive terminal sessions. The system can automatically generate an HTML screen from the host screen, or the application developer can take complete control over the generated HTML.

No ActiveX, COM, or Java is required, so the resulting screens can be used on simple mobile devices such as standard cell phones as well as smart phones.

eQuate is our self-contained application development tool. It has all the Windows-to-host communications built in, plus a VB-like designer that makes form and dialog creation fun and easy — even for non-programmers. eQuate has two modes of operation: Screen and Command. In screen mode, eQuate acts as a screen scraper, requiring no change to host applications. Command mode streamlines applications for faster throughput.

eQuate can be further enhanced with the addition of eQuate Web. eQuate Web launches the eQuate Session Manager from a Web browser. Using ClickOnce technology, no programs install on the user's PC. All eQuate run-time databases reside on a Web server. eQuate forms are cached at the user PC and only downloaded from the server when a newer form is found.

All KMSYS Worldwide connectivity tools are usable from home. The desktop implementation of eXpress Enterprise will run on any currently supported Windows platform.

With eQuate Web, the Web implementation of eXpress Enterprise, and HGS Web Client, host connectivity is just a few clicks away through your Web browser.

The development software, eQuate, and eXpress Enterprise SDK all connect through TCP/IP and work very well from home. eQuate Web, HGS Web Client, and the Web implementation of eXpress Enterprise provide connectivity to your users from any place on, or even above, the Earth — at job sites, trade shows, or even during a business flight. All you need is an Internet connection.
