Clients who choose the ClearPath Cloud Development and Test Solution purchase a three-month development-and test-block license to use virtual resources in the Unisys hosted server cloud environment. This gives them access to a ready-to-go development environment that includes:
-- A Software Developer's Kit (SDK) for the Unisys MCP or OS 2200
operating environment, including relevant database software and
development tools;
-- A virtual development server, with amounts of memory, storage and
networking resources sized to the specific development and testing
requirement; and
-- Software enhancement releases and maintenance support services.
Clients can use this solution to develop or enhance native ClearPath applications, integrate SOA technology to create composite applications or add functions such as business intelligence. The development environment can accommodate Unisys Business Information Server (BIS), Enterprise Application Environment (EAE)/AB Suite and other development environments.
Unisys engineering organization has deployed this solution for its internal system software development and testing, cutting virtual server provisioning time from days to less than an hour while avoiding the cost of additional capital equipment.
