The
Aton® Connect™ Host Integration Toolkit is designed to help you access
enterprise data residing on mainframe, midrange, and Linux / UNIX servers and deliver it to your web site
or portal quickly and effectively using the Microsoft tools and programming languages you already know.
Our tookit gives you the capability to access your enterprise data from your IIS web server, from
Windows Server based web services or middleware services, and also directly from desktop Windows XP/Vista business applications.
You can deliver your enterprise data to any desktop, laptop, PDA or smartphone that includes an Internet
browser. Using our toolkit you can also build Windows XP/Vista desktop business applications.
Now you can access your enterprise host data anywhere you need it using the Microsoft .NET Framework. Transform the look and feel of your business data
From 1980’s “Green Screen”(Before)
To a Practical Web User Interface (After)
Or to a Practical Windows XP/Vista User Interface (After):
Streamline Workflow, Automate Business Processing
Now you can give your business line managers what they are demanding without having to purchase expensive middleware or wait for time consuming host server programming. Use ASP.NET
to build a custom web based solution for your enterprise needs. Give your line staff the ability
to close more sales, make better decisions and reduce costs by having the right data wherever they are.
Let your custom application sort data using business rules to free staff for more important activities
 Aton Connect Host Integration Toolkit
offers you the ability to access host server data from ASP.NET 2.0 or .NET Framework 2.0 in C# or VB.NET. With our Aton Connect
terminal emulation component you can easily develop “web to host” or “web facing” pages for legacy host server applications.
Use the .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2005 to build a custom solution for your enterprise needs. Give your line staff
the ability to close more sales, make better decisions and reduce costs by having the right data wherever they are. Let
your custom application sort data using business rules to free staff for more important activities.
The component (control) is easy to use in Visual Studio 2005 and is very cost effective when compared
with other alternatives. You can apply the traditional screen scraping technique to deliver host data for your web hosted projects, with all of the ease of development that comes with ASP.NET.
What duplicate efforts could you cut out of a business process if workers had data in real time rather than a day, a week or a month later?
By using our component, you can build a user interface that allows your workers to see important data on demand, even multiple sets of data on a single screen.
Take Advantage of Existing Resources
As much as 70 percent of corporate data still lives on mainframes. In fact, the IBM System z
(zSeries) is having a sales revival. These powerhouse machines run mission critical applications in a
wide variety of industries, in education and in government with remarkable high performance, reliability
and security. They represent a huge investment in staff, applications and equipment which enterprises rely on for daily operations.
Unlike newer client/server and Internet based systems, though, the huge installed base of mainframe programming is very difficult and expensive to modify
. Replacement of an enterprise's mainframe with newer systems and applications may not be economically feasible for a company with millions of
dollars invested in them, not to mention the looming risk of moving mission critical business processes
off of these reliable systems. Yet, enterprises, universities and colleges and government organizations that utilize mainframes must be able to
easily tap into the wealth of data stored in mainframe enterprise servers to meet new business requirements and changing customer expectations.
The IBM System i (iSeries, AS/400) is the arch-typical example of a highly secure mid-range
computer system, extensively used in small and mid-sized business to store critical business data.
With the Aton Connect Host Integration Toolkit you can gain secure access to the business data stored
on your System i via 5250 terminal emulation, your IBM System z via 3270 emulation, and Unix/Linux
systems with VT 220 emulation. You can transfer some of your business programming effort to
Microsoft Windows Server systems to make best use of your resources while still leveraging the Series i world class security and stability.
Aton® Connect™ Host Integration Toolkit Helps Bridge the Gap
The Aton® Connect™ software component in the Toolkit can easily be used on the server side to
provide crucial data in the most suitable format for the user, displayed in a custom web page or utilized
to build web or middleware services on the server. The software component in the Toolkit can also be
used in Windows XP/Vista desktop business applications to access data stored on enterprise servers.
The Aton® Connect™ software component uses a TCP/IP connection
to link to a private or public TN3270, TN5250, or Unix/Linux server to provide access to enterprise data. The data can be
presentated in the web browser – for desktops, laptops and mobile devices. The data can also be
presented to server side web or middleware services or client side business application. Because Aton® Connect™
is highly reliable and integration is fast and simple, IT departments and integrators can produce results very quickly to gain substantial return on investment.
- Greater value from our product comes from using its .NET class to build a custom Windows business applications.
Busines applications can display selected mainframe data on the screen in a way that
improves productivity and reduces errors. It can also allow continued access to that enterprise data
stored locally, even when the XP notebook, Tablet PC, or mobile PC is disconnected from the wireless network.
- The component class is easy to use in Visual Studio 2005 and is very cost effective when compared with
other alternatives. You can apply the traditional screen scraping technique to deliver host data for your
Windows application projects, with all of the ease of development that comes with .NET Framework.
