  1. Modernize, Secure, and Enhance your Legacy Application for Longer Life Jim Hampton Sales Engineer Crystal Point jimh@crystalpoint.com 425 806 1141

  2. Strategic Partner - HP NonStop Division • NED Internal Standard for host connectivity • Data Transport Security (NSSL) Provider to NED, VISA, MasterCard OutsideViewTM Leading Desktop-to-NonStop Connectivity software Founded 1986

  3. We ProvideMore Than Emulation Multiple Solutions: Host Connectivity Data Transport Security Application Modernization

  4. OutsideView 7.3 Newest Enhancements • SSL for FTP (& Telnet) • Seamless Guardian/OSS • Text Editing Enhancements • 3270E Enhanced Mode

  5. OutsideView Enterprise Deployment One-To-Many Administration

  6. Enterprise Administration Designed for Large or Complex Environments • Profiles • Configuration Control • User Permissions • Automatic Update • License Pools • Roaming Users • Citrix/Win Terminal

  7. With SSL-secured communications, plus centrally administered controls of user environments, OutsideView Enterprise provides a complete operational solution - Sture Larssen, EDS (GM/Saab)

  8. OutsideView WEB “Green Screen” Goes Internet

  9. Release 1.3 Major New Features • End-to-End Encryption • HTTPS (SSL) to Web Server • Web Server to Host Via Tunneling • Multiple Tunneling Protocols; SSL, SSH2, Telnet • Seamless OSS/Guardian • Automatic Environment Recognition via TermCap andTermInfo • Log to File / Log to Printer

  10. Def. end-to-end encryption Continuous protection of the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information by encrypting it at the origin and decrypting at its destination.

  11. NSSLProduct Suite • Secure Telnet • Secure FTP • Middleware • Expand • MQ-Series

  12. NonStop Secure SHell (NSSH) • NSSH/FTP: File transfer security to/from other platforms using SFTP and FTP port forwarding • NSSH/SecurSH: Enables remote SSH clients to execute commands (OSS shell or TACL) on the NonStop server. It also provides an SSH client for the NonStop server; providing command execution and full shell access to an SSH-enabled remote system, including OSS pseudo terminal support for running full screen terminal applications such as VI or EMACS.

  13. Application Modernization Maximizing the Survivability of Your Legacy System Maximizing the Value of Your Legacy System

  14. Proven, Time-tested Solutions • Supporting the Core Enterprise • Capture 75% of World’s Data • Huge Intellectual and Financial Asset

  15. Perceived as Primitive • Perceived asExpensive to Maintain • Need for Wider User Access • Assumed Major Cost-Effort-Risk to Replace

  16. Rewrite • Reduced Leverage • Difficult Business Case • Remain • Easiest Option • Short Term - • Replace • Packaged Solution • Often Requires Compromises • Renew • Leverages Investment • Intermediate Term

  17. AppViewXS provides technology to upgrade and modernize legacy applications without having to rewrite (or reprogram) in order to take advantage of current technologies.

  18. Capabilities Web-Enable Secure Transform Extend Integrate Web-Enable

  19. AppViewXS Web-Enabling • Middleware Abstraction Layer • Acts on Data Stream ‘Downstream‘ • Transparent to Host, Application • Patented On-the-fly Transformation to GUI • Global HTML Template

  20. Guardian OSS AppViewXS Web-Enabling Architecture

  21. Architectural Advantages Highly Deployable • No Application Code Changes • Standard (Secure) Java Portal • Thin-client (Browser-based) Access • Qualified on Multiple Web Platforms • Rapid SOA Implementation

  22. Capabilities Web-Enable Secure Transform Extend Integrate Secure

  23. Guardian OSS AppViewXS Servlet https Web Application Server End-to-EndSecure Telnet SSL SSH2

  24. Capabilities Web-Enable Secure Transform Extend Integrate Transform

  25. Transform Patented technology - Automatic GUI Transformation - Global HTML ‘Template’

  26. Capabilities Web-Enable Secure Transform Extend Integrate Extend

  27. Extend • Create “Smart” Screens • Graphical, Drag-and-Drop Studio • No Programming Required • Editable HTML • “Smart” Screens for Host Screens • “Smart” Screens as Processing Layer

  28. Example Legacy Workflow

  29. Example Global Template • HTML Screen Envelope • Modifiable • Host Screens • Embedded • Modified • Get-to-the-Point • GUI objects

  30. Smart Screen Development

  31. Extended becomes a Smart Screen Legacy Screen Web Link Graphics Pushbutton Navigation GUI Controls, Objects Embedded Java/HTML objects and automation logic, data integration (e.g., SQL)

  32. Example

  33. Extend • Studio ‘owns’ End-user Interface • Substitute GUI objects for Host fields (Buttons, Drop-down lists, etc.) • Integrate Web technology(Calendaring Objects, Class file, Java Scripts) • Access Web Services • (Address Validation Service, Class file, Java Scripts) • Modify Workflow(Get-to-the-Point, Screen transition logic) • Integrate Multiple Data Sources(SQL, Automated Background Host access)

  34. Extend External Calls • Java Applet • Class File • HTML • XML Web Links • Open any URL – Static or Dynamic • GET or POST

  35. And More….Profiles Customization Sets for Specific User Groups Different Experience for Different Groups

  36. Capabilities Web-Enable Secure Transform Extend Integrate Integrate

  37. Integrate • Java Struts Framework – “Traffic Cop” • Tightly integrate Java technology with legacy applications

  38. Struts Framework analyzes transactions • Dynamically routes transactions to AppViewXS-abstracted Legacy Application • or add-on Java module • or replacement Java module Transition Control Ongoing Traffic Control for Hybrid Environments

  39. Integration Benefits Hybrid Legacy/Java Environment • Legacy application becomes engine behind modern Web/GUI interface • Legacy application extended via Java ‘bolt-ons’ • Widgets (scripts, objects, class files) • Web Services • Java Modules • Java applications • Startlingly Rapid SOA Implementation

  40. Retained by USAF to Assist in Migrating Guardian REMIS to the GCSS-AF Java Environment • Project Requirements: • First Deliverable: Web Access into REMIS • Transition to Java Environment in Granular Increments • Maintain Secure, Uninterrupted Web Access Throughout • Incremental Evolution to be Transparent

  41. David McGuire, Principal Engineer for the REMIS migration project, says this about why the Crystal Point solution was chosen, “Crystal Point's AppViewXS product enabled Northrop Grumman, and more importantly, the U. S. Air Force’s REMIS System, to deploy successfully onto the Global Combat Support System portal.  AppViewXS’ Server-side solution allows for tight, efficient integration between the REMIS Web Application and the NonStop REMIS application.  All Applet-based solutions were rejected due to security and end-user configuration issues.  The built-in AppViewXS capability to customize the screens using Studio as well as script transitions from one screen to the next proved invaluable.” “The impact of the AppViewXS product cannot be overstated. Without it, REMIS had no viable option to deploy incrementally.”

  42. Integration Benefits Transition to Web-Tiered Environment • Select Optimum Blend - Best of Both Worlds • Reverse the business value equation • Deliver Major Benefit (Web, GUI, Security) up front • Close Cost-Before-Benefit Gap • Interactive Java Development • Match Development to Budget Cycles • Self-sustaining Development

  43. Integration Benefits • Incremental Implementation • Avoid “Big Bang” or “Ivory Tower” Projects • Transition Control • Increased User Feedback, Training, Acceptance • Reduce Overall Costs • Make Unwieldy Projects Manageable

  44. Rewrite • Reduced Leverage • Difficult Business Case • Integrate • High Leverage • Powerful Business Case • Renew • Leverages Investment • Intermediate Term
